Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Home Find ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our platform. This policy is designed to comply with the EU ePrivacy Directive and the General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR"), ensuring full transparency regarding our tracking practices.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files containing a string of alphanumeric characters that are downloaded to your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognize your browser, remember your preferences, and secure your session. We may use both session cookies (which disappear when you close your browser) and persistent cookies (which remain on your device for a specified duration or until deleted manually).

2. Categories of Cookies We Use

We classify the cookies used on our Platform into the following categories, based on their functionality and purpose:

A. Essential (Strictly Necessary) Cookies

These cookies are required for the administration and operation of our Platform. They enable core security features, authentication sessions, and routing behaviors. Without these cookies, services such as logging into your dashboard, submitting inquiries, or saving forms cannot be technically delivered.

B. Functional Cookies

Functional cookies enable the Platform to provide enhanced features and personalization. They remember choices you make (such as your language preference: English vs. Romanian) and provide customized options (like keeping your recently viewed listing parameters).

C. Analytics & Performance Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Platform by collecting and reporting information anonymously. They measure page views, load times, bounce rates, and traffic sources, allowing us to continuously optimize performance and usability.

D. Marketing (Targeting) Cookies

Marketing cookies are used to track visitor activity across websites. The intention is to display advertisements that are relevant and engaging for the individual user. These cookies may build a profile of your interests to deliver targeted campaigns on external networks.

3. Third-Party Cookies & Tracking Technologies

In addition to our first-party cookies, we partner with third-party service providers who may set cookies on your browser when you access the Platform:

• Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to analyze web traffic and user behavior. Google Analytics collects anonymized interaction data. You can learn about Google’s practices and opt out by visiting the Google Analytics Opt-out Page.
• Meta Pixel: We utilize Meta Pixel tracking to measure the effectiveness of our social campaigns and deliver relevant advertisements on Facebook and Instagram.
• Future Advertising & Analytics Technologies: Please note that Home Find may introduce additional analytics platforms, heatmaps, session recording tools, and advanced marketing technologies in the future to optimize services. Any such additions will strictly comply with EU data protection requirements, and this policy will be updated accordingly.

4. Cookie Duration

The lifespan of our cookies varies:

• Session Cookies: Temporary files that expire and are automatically deleted the moment you close your web browser or turn off your device.
• Persistent Cookies: Stored on your device for a fixed duration (ranging from a few days up to 12 months under GDPR guidelines) or until you manually clear your browser cache.

5. Managing and Deactivating Cookies

Under the GDPR, you have the right to choose whether to accept cookies. You can manage your preferences through the following methods:

A. User Consent Banner

When you first visit our Platform, a cookie consent banner is displayed. You may choose to accept all cookies, customize your settings, or reject all non-essential functional and marketing cookies.

B. Withdrawal of Consent

You can withdraw or modify your consent for non-essential cookies at any time. To clear your previous consent preferences and trigger the cookie banner again, you may delete the cookies saved in your browser history associated with our domains.

C. Browser Settings

You can configure your browser to reject all cookies, accept only certain cookies, or notify you when a cookie is set. Each browser has different setup menus. Use your browser's "Help" or "Settings" menu to learn how to adjust cookies.

Note: Disabling essential cookies will impact your user experience, and key interactive features (such as secure dashboard login, listing inquiries, or custom matches) will become unavailable.
