Cookie Policy
Last updated: 8 April 2026. This Cookie Policy describes how 1031propertylists.com (the “Site”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) uses cookies, local storage, session storage, pixels, and similar technologies (together, “cookies”) when you visit or interact with the Site. It supplements our Privacy Policy and should be read together with it. Cookies are small text files or equivalent identifiers placed on your device when you load a webpage or use an app-like experience in the browser. They help the Site remember preferences, maintain security, measure performance, and (where you consent) support analytics or marketing integrations. This Policy explains what we use, why we use it, how long it lasts, and how you can control cookies through your browser and our banner.
Legal framework
In the United Kingdom, the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) requires us to inform you about cookies and, for non-essential cookies, to obtain your consent before setting them unless a narrow statutory exception applies. The UK GDPR also applies where cookies involve processing of personal data (for example, when an analytics cookie can single out a device). We classify cookies by purpose and legal basis as described below. If you reject non-essential cookies through our banner or browser settings, we will not deploy those technologies except where they are strictly necessary to deliver a service you have explicitly requested.
Types of cookies and technologies we use
Strictly necessary cookies and storage. These are required for core Site functions such as load balancing, security hardening, bot mitigation, remembering that you confirmed the age gate for the current browser session (sessionStorage), and recording whether you accepted or rejected the cookie banner (localStorage) so we do not repeatedly prompt you in ways that PECR allows us to avoid. Without these technologies, parts of the Site may not operate reliably.
Functional cookies. These remember choices you make—such as UI state or dismissed notices—so the Site feels consistent on return visits. Where such technologies are not strictly necessary under PECR, we will seek consent before using them.
Analytics and performance cookies. If enabled, these help us understand aggregate traffic patterns: popular pages, approximate referral sources, error rates, and device categories. We configure analytics to minimise personal data where possible, use IP anonymisation where offered by the provider, and retain data only for limited periods. Analytics cookies require consent unless they are exempt as strictly necessary (which is rare for third-party analytics).
Marketing or affiliate measurement cookies. If we integrate third-party tags for attribution or retargeting, those tags may set their own cookies subject to their policies. We will only load such tags after appropriate consent where required. Outbound links to gambling operators may include tracking parameters in the URL; those parameters are not cookies set by us but may be read by the destination site.
Local storage and session storage
In addition to traditional cookies, we may use browser localStorage and sessionStorage APIs to store small values such as age-verification status and cookie-banner decisions. These mechanisms are not HTTP cookies but have similar effects from a privacy perspective. You can clear them through your browser’s “clear site data” or equivalent function. Clearing storage may cause banners or gates to reappear.
Typical cookie names, providers, and durations
Exact names may change when we update software. Representative examples include: first-party session cookies issued by our hosting stack for routing and TLS session integrity; short-lived security cookies used by edge protection services; analytics identifiers issued by a vendor if you consent, often expiring between 24 hours and 24 months depending on configuration; and consent-state cookies recording your banner choice. SessionStorage entries for age verification typically expire when you close the browser tab. LocalStorage entries for cookie preferences persist until you clear them or we overwrite them during a policy update that requires renewed consent.
Your choices and controls
When you first visit, our cookie banner may offer accept and reject options for non-essential categories. You can revisit your choice by clearing Site data or contacting us for guidance. All major browsers let you block third-party cookies, delete existing cookies, or alert you before a cookie is set. Mobile operating systems provide similar controls for in-app browsers. Blocking all cookies may prevent login-like flows on third-party sites and can break embedded content. Industry tools such as the IAB Europe Transparency and Consent Framework (where applicable) or vendor-specific opt-outs may offer additional control for advertising cookies.
Third-party cookies and embedded content
If we embed videos, maps, social widgets, or similar content, the embedded provider may attempt to set cookies or read existing ones. We minimise embeds that set tracking cookies without consent. Operator websites that you open via outbound links are independent controllers; their cookie practices are governed solely by their own policies. We encourage you to review those policies before creating accounts or depositing funds.
Do Not Track and global privacy signals
There is no uniform legal standard requiring browsers’ “Do Not Track” signals to be honoured in the UK. Where technically feasible and legally required, we may align our consent tools with recognised global privacy control signals as standards mature. Until then, please use our banner and browser cookie settings to express your preferences.
Children
The Site is not intended for users under 18. We do not knowingly use cookies to profile children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe cookies have been associated with a minor inappropriately, contact us and we will assist with deletion requests where feasible.
Updates to this Cookie Policy
We may revise this Policy when we change vendors, add features, or respond to regulatory guidance. The “Last updated” date reflects the latest revision. Material changes to how we use non-essential cookies may require renewed consent; we will adjust the banner or notice accordingly where mandated.
