It allows a website to remember things like your preferences or what’s in your shopping basket. Using our website will result in us placing cookies on your computer in the 3 categories set out below.

  • Strictly necessary: These cookies are essential to enable you to move around the website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the website; many of the functions on our website will not work properly, or at all if you do not allow these cookies to be used.

The information is only used to improve how the website works.
  • Functionality: These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features (for example, remembering changes you have made to text size and fonts).

If you reside outside the EU, we also use a fourth type of cookie for Targeting or Advertising:

  • Targeting or Advertising: We sometimes partner with third parties to deliver more relevant advertisements and to compile web statistics. These third parties may use cookies, web beacons, and other tracking technology to monitor your visits to both Realty One Group Inc. and other websites. They monitor your online behavior and identify website usage, helping advertisers show you advertising and content that is more relevant to you. Some examples of what Targeting and Advertising Cookies do:
    • Provide advertisers with information about your visit to our websites so they can show you advertising that is relevant to you.
    • Limit the number of times you see an advertisement.
    • Help measure the effectiveness of an advertising campaign.

Don’t worry – none of these cookies store personally identifiable information and we only use trusted advertising partners. Just so you know, these third parties will have their own privacy policies and they may be different from ours.
