Cookie Policy

Last updated: May 22, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Philippine Real Estate Properties ("we", "our", or "the Site") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website. It is to be read alongside our Privacy Policy and applies to all users in compliance with the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (RA 10173).

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They help websites remember information about your visit — such as your preferred language or login status — so you don't have to re-enter it every time.

We also use similar technologies such as localStorage and sessionStorage (browser-based storage) to provide certain features like saved properties and recently viewed listings. These are stored entirely on your device and are not transmitted to our servers.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are required for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They include:

  • Authentication tokens — used by Supabase to keep you logged in to your account securely.
  • Cookie consent preference — stores your response to the cookie consent banner (cookie_consent).

Legal basis: Legitimate interest / contractual necessity. No consent required.

Functional Cookies & Local Storage

These improve your experience but are not essential. They include:

  • Saved properties (saved_properties) — properties you bookmark while browsing.
  • Recently viewed (recently_viewed) — a short history of listings you have opened.
  • Saved searches (saved_searches) — filter presets you have saved on the search page.
  • Currency preference (pp_currency) — your chosen display currency (₱ PHP, $ USD, S$ SGD).
  • Compare list (compare_list) — properties queued for side-by-side comparison.

Legal basis: Consent (accepted via the cookie banner). All data is stored locally in your browser and is never sent to our servers.

Analytics Cookies (If Enabled)

We may use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site. If enabled, Google Analytics sets cookies such as _ga and _gid to collect anonymized usage data (pages visited, session duration, device type). No personally identifiable information is collected through analytics.

Legal basis: Consent. Analytics are only active after you accept cookies via the banner.

Third-Party Cookies

Some pages embed content or functionality from third parties that may set their own cookies:

  • Cloudflare — security and performance (e.g., __cf_bm bot-management cookie).
  • OpenStreetMap / Leaflet — map tiles on the property search and listing pages.

We do not control these third-party cookies. Please refer to their respective privacy policies for details.

4. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have the following options to control cookies:

  • Cookie banner — When you first visit our site, you can Accept All or Decline non-essential cookies. You can change this at any time by clearing your browser's localStorage.
  • Browser settings — All major browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through their settings (usually under Privacy & Security). Note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may prevent you from logging in or using certain features.
  • Clear localStorage — Open your browser's Developer Tools (F12) → Application → Local Storage → select our domain → Delete All, to remove all locally stored data including saved properties and search history.
  • Google Analytics opt-out — Install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on to prevent Analytics tracking across all websites.

5. Your Rights Under RA 10173

Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act, you have the right to:

  • Be informed about how your data is processed
  • Access personal data we hold about you
  • Correct inaccurate personal data
  • Erasure or blocking of personal data
  • Object to processing of personal data
  • Data portability

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected].
