Last updated: March 31, 2026. We may update this policy; we will change the date above when we do.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website or use an app. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, pixels, and software development kits (SDKs) in mobile apps. Together we refer to these as “cookies” in this policy unless we specify otherwise.
2. Who sets cookies?
First-party cookies are set by EstateSail.com (same site or domain as the Service). Third-party cookies are set by partners whose content or scripts we load (for example, embedded maps, fonts hosted by a provider, payment or fraud tools, or analytics services if we use them). Third parties have their own privacy and cookie practices.
3. How we use cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies for purposes such as:
- Strictly necessary. To operate the Service: for example, keeping you signed in, maintaining session security, enforcing CSRF protections, routing requests, load balancing, remembering cookie consent choices where we present a banner, and preventing abuse. These are typically required for the Service to function and may not be optional.
- Functional and preferences. To remember settings you choose (such as UI preferences or language where supported) and to improve usability.
- Performance and analytics. To understand how the Service is used (for example, aggregate traffic, errors, or feature usage) so we can improve performance and reliability. Depending on jurisdiction, we may ask for consent before using non-essential analytics.
- Marketing. If we use advertising or remarketing partners, they may set cookies to measure campaigns or personalize ads. We will describe this more specifically in any consent tool or notice we provide where required by law.
4. Typical cookies and storage you may see
Exact names and lifetimes can change as we update the Service. Examples include:
- Session and authentication. Cookies or tokens tied to your login session, account type, or security (often HttpOnly and Secure where supported).
- Security. Values that help validate form submissions and prevent cross-site request forgery.
- Local storage. Keys used by our front end to cache non-sensitive UI state or feature flags.
- Third-party resources. Loading fonts, maps, or scripts from external domains may cause those providers to set or read cookies on their own domains according to their policies.
5. Mobile applications
Our mobile apps may use app storage, device identifiers, and SDKs in ways comparable to cookies for authentication, analytics, crash reporting, and push notifications where you enable them. Details are described in the Privacy Policy.
6. Your choices
- Browser settings. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent sign-in or core features from working.
- Our tools. Where we provide a cookie banner, preference center, or in-app settings, you can use those controls for categories we offer (for example, analytics or marketing).
- Industry opt-outs. Some regions offer industry pages for ad opt-outs (for example, aboutads.info or yourlocal equivalent). Effectiveness varies by browser and region.
We do not respond to “Do Not Track” browser signals in a uniform way across the industry; we rely on applicable law, our consent tools where required, and the choices above.
7. Retention
Session cookies typically expire when you close your browser (or sooner). Persistent cookies and stored identifiers last for the period needed for their purpose, as described in our Privacy Policy or in product settings, unless you delete them earlier.
8. Children
The Service is not directed to children under the ages described in our Privacy Policy. We do not knowingly use cookies to profile children for behavioral advertising.
9. Changes
We may update this Cookie Policy when we change our practices or add partners. Material changes may be highlighted through the Service or other notice where required.
