What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files or data elements stored by a browser on a user’s device when a website is visited. They may help the website recognize the device, maintain user sessions, remember preferences, or support secure operation.
Scope of This Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy applies to the Home in Sri Lanka — Property Care website, public pages, owner account pages, login sessions, dashboards, forms, profile workflows, service-selection pages, estimate pages, payment-center pages, and related platform interactions.
It may also apply to cookies or similar technologies introduced by embedded or connected third-party services where they are used within the platform experience.
Why We May Use Cookies
Cookies and similar technologies may be used to:
- Keep authenticated users signed in during an active session;
- Protect forms and POST requests from misuse;
- Maintain secure dashboard access;
- Remember selected site preferences where enabled;
- Support account profile workflows;
- Enable payment checkout handoffs where applicable;
- Understand general website usage through analytics where enabled;
- Improve performance, usability, and security.
Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are required for the core technical operation of the platform. Without them, important features may not work correctly.
These may support:
- Page navigation and secure form submission;
- Basic session management;
- Login state maintenance;
- Security and anti-abuse controls;
- Access to protected owner dashboard pages.
Authentication and Login Cookies
The Property Care app may use authentication-related cookies to identify that a signed-in user has already logged in and to allow continued access to profile pages, property dashboards, payment centers, and report pages during that authenticated session.
These cookies help avoid requiring a user to log in again on every individual page request within an active session.
CSRF and Security Cookies
Security cookies may be used to help protect forms, account changes, payment selections, image uploads, profile edits, and other sensitive actions from unauthorized or malicious requests.
In Django-based web applications, CSRF protection is commonly used to help validate that certain form submissions originate from the expected website session.
Preference Cookies
Where preference features are enabled, cookies or similar browser storage may be used to remember choices such as:
- Accepted cookie notice state;
- Language or content preference where implemented;
- Display or interface choices;
- Other non-essential user experience settings.
These are intended to make repeated use of the website more convenient.
Analytics or Performance Cookies
If analytics tools are added to the Property Care platform, analytics cookies or similar measurement technologies may be used to understand broad patterns such as:
- Which public pages are visited most often;
- Whether users encounter navigation issues;
- General page-performance trends;
- How visitors interact with service-information pages.
Analytics use should be handled consistently with the applicable privacy notice and any consent or preference tools implemented on the website.
Third-Party Cookies
Some third-party services integrated into the broader website experience may use their own cookies or similar technologies.
Examples may include:
- Payment gateways;
- Embedded video or map tools where later added;
- Analytics providers where enabled;
- External customer-support or communication widgets where used.
Payment-Related Technologies
Where the Property Care Payment Center connects to payment checkout services, third-party payment providers may use cookies or similar technologies as part of fraud prevention, transaction continuity, login recognition, session handling, or payment-completion routing.
The exact payment-related cookies depend on the gateway or checkout provider ultimately connected to the app.
Session Cookies and Persistent Cookies
Cookies may generally operate in two ways:
Session Cookies
These are typically temporary and may expire when a browser session ends or after a short session period.
Persistent Cookies
These may remain on a device for a longer period, such as when preferences or notice acknowledgments are remembered.
Similar Technologies
In addition to traditional cookies, websites may use similar technologies that store or access information in a browser or device environment.
These may include, where implemented:
- Local storage;
- Session storage;
- Pixel tags or measurement scripts;
- Embedded third-party content technologies;
- Other browser-based storage or access tools.
Where such technologies are used, they should be handled consistently with the purpose and notice principles described in this policy.
