Expired advertisements remain in the database for a subsequent period of 30 days and can therefore continue to be found via the search mask.
- The advertising period selected by the participant always starts on the following day of the ad registration. The ad period is thus always calculated without taking into account the day on which the ad was recorded and inserted or renewed.
