Cookies and similar storage
Last updated 14 August 2026.
UK PECR says we must tell you if we store or read information on your device, explain why, and get consent unless it is strictly necessary. This page is that explanation. The privacy notice covers personal data more broadly.
Your choice
Analytics is off until you allow it. Essential storage does not need a click — it is how the form and this choice work. You can change your mind here at any time.
You have not chosen yet. Analytics stays off until you allow it.

| houseli.project.session A random id so sending the enquiry twice in one tab updates one record, not two. | sessionStorage | Essential | This browser tab. |

Essential
These remember your cookie choice, keep the enquiry form filled in during a visit, record which Houseli page the enquiry started on, and (only after login) keep operators or partners signed in. They are not advertising profiles. Hosting may also set a strictly necessary cookie to keep the site secure.
Analytics and ads measurement
If you click Allow analytics, Google Analytics 4 and (when configured) the Meta Pixel may run. They see page views and form-step names, not names, phone, email, notes or photos. Switching to Essential only deletes the Google and Meta cookies we can reach from this site.
