What a cookie is#
A cookie is a small text file that a website asks your browser to store and to send back on later requests. Similar techniques, such as local storage in the browser or a tracking pixel in a page, do the same job by other means, and everything on this page applies to them too.
Cookies fall into two groups that matter here:
- Strictly necessary cookies: the page cannot be delivered or a feature you asked for cannot work without them, for example remembering which language version you chose or keeping a session while you are signed in. These do not need your consent.
- Everything else: analytics, measurement, advertising, personalisation and anything shared with a third party. These need your consent before they are set, and the consent has to be freely given and easy to withdraw.
The cookies this site sets#
None. Cyprus Property Report is a set of published pages. There is no account, no sign-in, no basket and no personalisation, so there is nothing to remember between requests. The site sets no cookie of any kind, writes nothing to local storage and uses no tracking pixel. The two email forms on the site, the briefing sign-up and the calculator figures box, work without a cookie or a browser token.
If that ever changes, only two things could be added, and this notice would be updated first:
| Cookie | Purpose | Type | Consent needed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Language or district preference | Remembers a display choice you made | Strictly necessary for the feature you asked for | No |
| Security or anti-abuse token on a form | Stops a form being submitted automatically at scale | Strictly necessary | No |
Neither exists today.
How page views are counted without a cookie#
The site measures its own readership in one way. Each page sends a single request to the site's own server, at /api/hit, carrying the path of the page, and the server adds one to a daily counter for that path. That request sets nothing in your browser, and the server stores no cookie, no IP address and no user-agent string; the result is a count per page per day that cannot be linked to you. From launch, the counter may also note which category of site sent you here, a search engine, an AI assistant, a social network or another site, judged from the hostname of the referring page only; the full address of the referring page is never stored. The privacy policy describes this and the hosting provider's standard access log.
Third-party and advertising cookies#
There are none, and none are planned. The site carries no advertising network, no tag manager, no analytics product, no social media button or share widget, no embedded video or map, no comment system and no externally hosted font or script. Nothing on a page is loaded from a domain that could observe you across other websites.
The network sells no reader data and passes no reader details to any estate agent, developer or other company.
Why there is no consent banner#
A consent banner exists to ask permission for cookies that are not strictly necessary. This site sets none, so there is nothing to ask you about, and a banner would only add a click. If a cookie that needs consent is ever introduced, a request for consent will appear before it is set, refusing will be as easy as accepting, and refusing will not restrict what you can read.
How to see and delete cookies in your browser#
You do not have to take our word for it. Every browser lets you inspect the storage a site is using and clear it. The route differs by browser, and the current instructions are best read in the browser's own help pages, but the settings you are looking for are named along these lines:
- Chrome and Edge: Settings, then Privacy and security, then Third-party cookies and Delete browsing data. The developer tools Application panel lists what a site has stored.
- Firefox: Settings, then Privacy and Security, then Cookies and Site Data, with Manage Data for a single site.
- Safari on macOS: Settings, then Privacy, then Manage Website Data. On iOS, Settings, then Apps, then Safari, then Clear History and Website Data.
You can also block cookies for all sites, or use a private browsing window that discards them when you close it. Neither will stop you reading this site or using its forms. Blocking cookies across the board may break other sites that need them to sign you in.
How we tell you when this notice changes#
Any change to this notice is published on this page, and the review date at the foot of the page changes with it. Earlier versions are kept. If the site ever begins to set a cookie that needs consent, the change will be flagged at the top of this page and consent will be requested before the cookie is set, not afterwards, as the Cyprus supervisory authority, the Office of the Commissioner for Personal Data Protection, expects under Law 125(I)/2018 and the Regulation.1
Questions readers ask
Does this site use Google Analytics or any similar toolWhy is there no cookie bannerIs anything stored in my browser at allWill blocking cookies break the siteHow does this relate to the privacy policy
- Does this site use Google Analytics or any similar tool?#
- No. The only measurement is a first-party count of page views kept on the site's own server, with no cookie and no personal data. No product that reports to a third party is used or planned.
- Why is there no cookie banner?#
- Because the site sets no cookie that needs consent, or any cookie at all. A banner would ask you to agree to something that does not exist.
- Is anything stored in my browser at all?#
- No cookie, no local storage entry and no tracking pixel. If that changes, this notice is updated before the change goes live.
- Will blocking cookies break the site?#
- No. Every page is readable, and both email forms work, with cookies blocked entirely and in a private browsing window.
- How does this relate to the privacy policy?#
- This notice covers storage in your browser. The privacy policy covers everything else, including the page-view count, the two email forms, your rights and how to complain. The publisher behind both is described on the about page, and the standard the site holds itself to is set out in the editorial policy.
