“Cookies” are text-only pieces of information that a web site transfers to an individual’s hard drive or other web site-browsing equipment for record-keeping purposes. Cookies allow the Website to remember important information that will make Your use of the site more convenient. A cookie will typically contain the name of the domain from which the cookie has come, the “lifetime” of the cookie, and a randomly generated unique number or other value. Like most web sites, We use cookies for a variety of purposes in order to improve Your online experience, for analytics and for marketing, but specifically We use Cookies on the Website for the following purposes:

  • Analytical Purposes: We use Cookies to analyse user activity in order to improve the Website. For example, using Cookies We can look at aggregate patterns like the average number of property searches that users perform. We can use such analysis to gain insights about how to improve the functionality and user experience of the Website.
  • Your Preferences: We use Cookies to store certain user preferences on Our Website. For example, We may store the recent searches You have performed in a Cookie so that We can allow You to easily repeat those searches when You return to Our Website.
