- What are cookies
Cookies are small text files that websites send to the user’s device to improve browsing, store preferences, enable technical functions, and, in some cases, collect statistical or marketing information. - Types of cookies used
The website may use:
- Technical or strictly necessary cookies, essential for the operation of the website and the provision of the requested service;
- Preference cookies, used to store user choices (e.g. selected language via the pll_language cookie, duration 1 year);
- Analytics cookies, treated as technical cookies only if used in aggregated form and with proper anonymization;
- Third-party cookies, installed through external services integrated into the website.
The website also uses browser localStorage and sessionStorage (technologies similar to cookies) to temporarily store search preferences and saved properties on the user’s device. This data is not shared with third parties.
- Legal basis
Technical cookies do not require user consent. Non-anonymized analytics cookies, profiling, marketing cookies, or other non-technical tracking tools may only be activated with the user’s prior, free, specific, informed, and documented consent. - Consent management
If the website uses cookies or tracking tools requiring consent, a banner must be available allowing users to accept, reject, or manage preferences in a granular way, as well as to modify their choices at any time. - Third-party cookies
The use of third-party services, such as WhatsApp buttons, maps, videos, social plugins, advertising tools, or advanced analytics, may result in cookies being set by the respective providers. These data processing activities are also governed by the privacy policies of such third parties, which must be accessible in the extended cookie policy.
