Cookie policy

Which cookies and browser-storage keys we use, and why.

Last updated 23 May 2026

My Proper Home uses cookies and browser local-storage only to make the site work — there is no advertising, retargeting or third-party analytics tracking on this domain. The keys below are everything we persist in your browser.

Essential cookies

  • Sign-in session tokens — issued by our authentication provider when you sign in, used to keep you signed in across page loads. Cleared when you sign out.
  • Theme preference — remembers your light / dark mode choice (one localStorage key).

Functional local-storage keys

We use local-storage (not cookies) for the following, all scoped to your browser and visible to no one else. Clearing your browser data removes them.

  • mph.recentlyViewed — the last few properties you opened, so the home page can show a "recently viewed" strip.
  • mph.saved-searches — searches you've saved.
  • mph.compare — properties you've added to the comparison cart.
  • mph.chain-mood — your current chain mood (until cross-device sync lands).
  • mph.landlord.* — rent log, expenses, compliance, tenancies, maintenance and document indexes for the landlord dashboard (until the matching server schema is deployed).
  • mph.nudge.* — last-nudged timestamp per chain to rate-limit nudges to once per hour.

Third-party services we use

  • Apple MapKit JS — loaded when you view map or street-view features. Apple may set first-party cookies on its own CDN domains while serving map tiles.
  • HM Land Registry — postcode lookups for sale- price history. No cookies.
  • Ofcom Connected Nations — broadband data, served from our own S3 bucket. No cookies.
