Cookie Policy | Low Properties

This Cookie Policy explains how Low Properties ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our Platform at lowproperties.com. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device on subsequent visits and remember preferences or actions.

We also use similar technologies such as localStorage (browser storage used for consent preferences and region settings) and session storage. This policy covers all of these technologies.

2. Cookies We Use

We categorise cookies into four types: Essential, Functional, Analytics, and Marketing.

2.1 Essential Cookies (Always Active)

These cookies are strictly necessary for the Platform to function. They cannot be disabled. Without them, features like login, security, and navigation will not work.

Cookie	Purpose	Duration
next-auth.session-token	Maintains your authenticated session	Session
__Secure-next-auth.session-token	Secure session on HTTPS (same as above on production)	Session
next-auth.csrf-token	Prevents cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks	Session
lp_consent	Records whether you have responded to the cookie consent banner	1 year

2.2 Functional Cookies (Optional)

These cookies remember your preferences to personalise your experience. They do not track you across other websites.

Storage Key	Purpose	Duration
region-pref	Remembers your selected region for listings	30 days
lp_cookie_consent	Stores your detailed cookie preferences (localStorage)	Until cleared

2.3 Analytics Cookies (Optional)

Analytics cookies help us understand how users interact with our Platform in aggregate. Data collected is anonymised and is never used to identify you individually.

Cookie	Provider	Purpose	Duration
_ga	Google Analytics	Distinguishes unique users	2 years
_ga_*	Google Analytics	Maintains session state	2 years
va_* (Speed Insights)	Vercel	Measures Core Web Vitals performance	Session

2.4 Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies are used to track visitors across platforms. The intention is to display ads that are relevant and engaging for the individual user and thereby more valuable for publishers and third party advertisers.

Purpose	Duration
Tracking users for targeted campaigns and promotional offers	Variable (Depends on platform)

3. Third-Party Cookies & Scripts

3.1 Google Maps

Our property map uses Google Maps for map rendering. When you interact with a map, Google may set cookies related to map tile caching and may receive your approximate IP address for geographic routing. See the Google Privacy Policy.

3.2 Vercel Speed Insights

Our hosting provider Vercel collects anonymised performance metrics to measure page load speed and Core Web Vitals. No personal data is collected. See Vercel's privacy documentation.

3.3 Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 with IP anonymisation enabled. Data is processed under Google's data processing terms. See Google's Privacy Policy. You may opt out using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

4. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

4.1 Cookie Consent Banner

When you first visit our Platform, you will see a cookie consent banner allowing you to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customise your preferences. You can update your preferences at any time by clearing your browser's localStorage and revisiting the site.

4.2 Browser Settings

Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. Here are instructions for common browsers:

Please note that blocking all cookies via browser settings may affect Platform functionality, including the ability to remain logged in.

5. Impact of Disabling Cookies

Cookie Type	Impact if Disabled
Essential	Platform will not function — you cannot log in or use secure features
Functional	Your preferences (region, theme) will not be remembered between sessions
Analytics	We lose aggregate usage data; Platform functionality is unaffected
Marketing	You will not receive personalized promotional content; general platform usage is unaffected

6. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when we add new features, change our analytics tooling, or in response to regulatory requirements. If we make material changes, we will notify you via our cookie consent banner and, where required, seek fresh consent.

The current version of this policy is always available at lowproperties.com/cookies.
