Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit our site and are used to make the user’s experience more efficient. We are able to store cookies on your computer where they are necessary for the operation of the site; however, for non-essential cookies we need your permission.

2. How we use Cookies

We do not track individual users or use cookies to identify individuals. Property Options Ltd uses cookies to recognise users and their preferences, improve our website’s performance, and collect analytical information for ourselves and our business partners. Without the knowledge gained we would not be able to provide the service we offer.

3. “Session” and “Persistent” Cookies

Session cookies allow us to track your actions during a single browsing session, but they do not remain on your device afterwards.

Persistent cookies remain on your device between sessions. We use them to authenticate users and remember their preferences. We can also use them to balance the load on our servers and improve your experience on our website.

Session and persistent cookies can be either first-party or third-party cookies.
A first-party cookie is set by the website being visited; a third-party cookie is set by a different website. Both types of cookie may be used by us or our business partners.

Third Party Cookies we use include:
