Cookie Policy

Cookies and local storage are small pieces of data saved in your browser that let a website remember information between visits.

• A cookie is a small text file a website asks your browser to store, then reads back on later requests.
• Local storage works similarly but stays only on your device and is not automatically sent with every request.
• HomesPH uses both to keep the site working correctly and, only with your permission, to understand how visitors use it.
• Nothing here involves device fingerprinting or techniques designed to identify you without a stored cookie or local storage value.

These keep the site functioning and cannot be turned off, because the site cannot operate correctly without them.

• Session and security cookies that keep you signed in and protect the platform from abuse.
• Your saved cookie-preference choice itself, so we know what you already decided and do not ask again unnecessarily.
• A selected-location preference used to show relevant listings, and other strictly functional settings.
• These are never used for advertising or behavioral profiling.

Off by default. Only activated after you choose Accept All or turn Analytics on in Manage Preferences.

• When allowed, we record specific actions such as a search you submitted, a listing or project you viewed, a category or location you selected, a listing you saved, or an inquiry you started or sent.
• We do not store your IP address, device fingerprint, or precise location for these events, and we never treat the absence of a choice as consent.
• Search terms are checked for anything that looks like an email address, phone number, or account number before being shown to staff; matching terms are counted but never displayed.
• This data is shown to Admin and Super Admin only as aggregated totals and top lists (for example, "most viewed listings this week") — not as an individual visitor’s browsing history.

Off by default. Remembers preferences like your selected location to tailor what you see on return visits.

• Used only to reduce repetitive choices, such as remembering a city or region you previously browsed.
• Never combined with analytics data to build an advertising profile.

Analytics data is kept only as long as needed and is accessible only to authorized HomesPH staff.

• Raw analytics events are retained for a limited period and can be deleted earlier by an administrator at any time.
• Only Admin and Super Admin accounts can view the aggregated Guest Analytics dashboard; no data is sold or shared with third-party advertisers.
• The data is stored on HomesPH’s own database infrastructure, not a third-party analytics or advertising network.

You can review, change, or withdraw your cookie preferences at any time — it only takes a moment.

• Click the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer of any page to reopen your preferences.
• From there you can turn Analytics or Personalization on or off, or use "Withdraw Consent" to return to necessary-only cookies.
• Changes take effect immediately: turning analytics off stops future tracking right away.
