Cookie Policy

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to site owners. Similar technologies — such as your browser’s local storage — work in comparable ways. In this policy we refer to all of these as “cookies”.

2. How we use cookies

We keep our use of cookies deliberately minimal. We use them to:

• Make the site work — essential cookies that enable core functionality and security.
• Remember your preferences — for example, the homes you add to your “saved residences” shortlist are kept in your browser’s local storage so they persist between visits on the same device.
• Understand and improve performance — where enabled, aggregated analytics help us see how the site is used so we can improve it. This data does not identify you personally.

3. Third-party cookies

Some features rely on third parties who may set their own cookies. In particular, we load typography through Google Fonts, and our site is delivered through our hosting provider (Vercel). These providers process limited technical data in order to serve the site to you. We do not sell advertising space and do not use third-party advertising cookies.

4. Categories of cookies we use

• Strictly necessary — required for the website to function and to keep it secure. These cannot be switched off through our site.
• Functional — remember choices you make, such as your saved residences, to improve your experience.
• Performance / analytics — where used, help us measure and improve how the site performs, on an aggregated and anonymised basis.

5. Managing cookies

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings, and you can usually set your browser to block them. You can also clear your browser’s local storage to remove your saved residences. Please note that blocking or deleting cookies may affect how parts of the website work — for example, your saved shortlist may no longer be remembered.

6. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy as our use of cookies evolves. Any changes will be reflected on this page, with a revised “last updated” date above.
