Cookie Policy

What cookies are

Cookies are small files stored on your device that help a website remember information about your visit. We also use similar technologies such as localStorage.

Our model: opt-in by default

Regardless of where you are visiting from, non-essential cookies on Rate My Landlord are off until you explicitly accept. Our consent banner gives Accept all, Reject all, and Manage preferences equal visual weight — no dark patterns, no pre-ticked boxes. This satisfies GDPR-equivalent and exceeds the requirements of opt-out regimes.

Categories we use

• Essential — sign-in session, CSRF protection, and bot / abuse detection (Cloudflare Turnstile). Always on as a strictly necessary legitimate interest.
• Functional — remembers your map preferences and recent searches across visits. Off by default.
• Analytics — anonymous, aggregated usage data. Loads only after you opt in.
• Share anonymized neighborhood trends — optional contribution to aggregated, postal-code-level statistics used to publish neighborhood reports. No per-user rows, no identifiers. Off by default.

Your rights

As a Data Subject under GDPR / UK GDPR, you have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, port, and object to processing of your personal data, and to withdraw consent at any time. Contact us through your account to exercise any of these rights.
