Cookies and browser storage

Cookies can be sent by your browser with requests to a site. Browser storage keeps preferences and identifiers on your device and does not expire automatically. Both are used for site features. Acknowledging our cookie notice only hides the notice; it is not an analytics opt-in or opt-out control. Analytics can run before acknowledgement.

Country and currency preference cookies and the anonymous conversation identifier are stored for up to 365 days; the approximate-country cookie for up to 30 days. An opaque HttpOnly Housnap order cookie can remain for up to 30 days; removing it does not delete server-side order and payment records. When you choose to visit a retailer, a necessary cookie confirms that request for up to 30 seconds and is cleared when the handoff page opens. Browser storage keeps language and market preferences, recent searches and products, notice acknowledgement and conversation access details. These browser storage items have no automatic expiry and can be cleared in your browser’s site-data settings. The expiry of conversation or order access is not a deadline for deleting server records.

Analytics and advertising service providers may use cookies to measure page use, performance, external-link clicks and purchase attribution. The cookies used and their duration depend on provider and site settings. Affiliate networks and stores may use their own cookies after you follow a purchase link; see their notices for details.

Use your browser's site-data settings to inspect/delete cookies and browser storage, and its privacy controls to block cookies or tracking. Blocking can affect preferences and anonymous chat access; it does not recall data already sent to our servers or providers. Deleting a cookie is not a request to delete an AI conversation. Read the privacy notice for server processing and use Contact for requests.

A Housnap checkout quote uses a separate opaque HttpOnly order cookie for up to 30 days. When you open the encrypted link emailed to your order address, an HttpOnly, SameSite=Lax mailbox cookie allows access to orders associated with that email for up to one year, subject to link expiry or revocation. These cookies are not analytics controls. Clearing them may remove access in this browser but does not delete order, delivery or payment records kept on the server; contact us for data requests.
