This policy explains how Housemate uses them.

THE COOKIES WE USE

The cookies used on our website may fall into the following categories:

ESSENTIAL COOKIES

These help the website function properly and provide features you've requested.

They may be used for things such as security, website functionality and remembering certain choices.

Because these cookies are necessary for the website to operate or provide a service you've requested, they may not require your consent.

ANALYTICS COOKIES

We may use analytics tools to understand how people use the Housemate website.

These can provide information such as which pages are visited, how visitors navigate the site and general website performance.

This helps us understand what's useful, identify problems and improve the website.

Where consent is required, these technologies will only be used in accordance with the choices you make through our cookie controls.

FUNCTIONAL COOKIES

Some cookies or similar technologies may help provide additional website features or remember preferences.

Where these aren't essential to providing the website or a feature you've requested, we will handle them in accordance with applicable cookie requirements.

MARKETING COOKIES

If we use advertising, remarketing or similar tracking technologies in the future, these may be used to understand the effectiveness of advertising or provide more relevant advertising.

Where consent is required, we won't use these technologies unless you've chosen to allow them.

SQUARESPACE

Our website is built and hosted using Squarespace.

Squarespace may use cookies and similar technologies to operate the website, provide security, deliver website functionality and, depending on our settings and your choices, provide analytics.

The particular cookies used can change as Squarespace updates its services.
