2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixel tags.
Cookies help us:
- Keep you logged in
- Remember your preferences
- Understand how visitors use our site
- Measure marketing campaign performance
3. How We Use Consent
3.1 Marketing website (realestateflow.in)
On your first visit, a cookie banner offers:
- Accept all — enables all cookie categories
- Reject non-essential — only strictly necessary cookies
- Customize — choose categories individually
Non-essential cookies (functional, analytics, marketing) are not set until you consent.
3.2 CRM application (app.realestateflow.in)
The CRM banner has two meaningful categories:
- Essential (always on) — authentication and security
- Analytics — PostHog product usage (no ad trackers in the CRM)
Marketing cookies (Meta Pixel, LinkedIn, GA4) are not loaded in the CRM.
3.3 Managing preferences
- Click "Cookie preferences" in the website footer to reopen the consent modal
- Clear cookies in your browser settings
- Email info@realestateflow.in to request deletion of consent records
Consent choices are stored in localStorage under the key cookieConsent and persist across sessions on the same device.
