Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They let a site remember your actions and preferences — such as staying signed in — over time, and help it run securely and reliably. We also use similar technologies, such as browser local storage, for the same purposes. In this policy we refer to all of them as “cookies”.

We use cookies in the following categories:

Strictly necessary — required for the platform to function. They keep you signed in, secure your session, help prevent fraud and cross-site request forgery, and route traffic. The Service cannot work properly without them, so they cannot be switched off.

Functional — remember your preferences, such as your chosen language, so we can give you a more consistent experience.

Analytics & performance — where used, these help us understand how visitors use the platform (which pages are viewed, where errors occur) so we can improve it. This information is aggregated and does not identify you personally.

Some cookies are set by trusted services we rely on to run the platform:

• Stripe — processes payments and prevents fraud. Stripe may set cookies when you view a listing or pay for a booking.
• Supabase — our authentication and database provider, used to keep you securely signed in.
• Embedded content — pages that embed external content (for example social media or maps) may allow those providers to set their own cookies.

We do not control cookies set by third parties. Please refer to each provider's own cookie and privacy notices for details.

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you block or remove cookies, or warn you before one is set — the exact steps differ by browser, so check its help pages.

Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies will stop core features — such as signing in and booking — from working correctly.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the technologies we use or for legal reasons. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised “Last updated” date.
