Policy

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences, keep you logged in, and understand how you use the site. Vaasio uses cookies and similar technologies — including local storage and pixel tags — to deliver a better experience.

We use cookies for the following purposes:

• Authentication: Remember your login session so you do not have to re-verify on every visit.
• Search Preferences: Save your recent searches and filter settings to personalise your discovery experience.
• Analytics: Understand how visitors navigate our site so we can improve it. This includes aggregating page view and interaction data.
• View Tracking: Prevent duplicate property view counts by storing a 24-hour deduplication cookie per listing.
• Security: Detect unusual activity and protect against unauthorised access.

• Essential Cookies: Required for core functionality — session management, authentication tokens, and security. These cannot be disabled without breaking the site.
• Performance Cookies: Help us understand how the site is used via aggregated analytics. These do not identify you personally.
• Functionality Cookies: Remember your preferences — such as language, saved searches, and display settings.

The following third-party services may set their own cookies when you use Vaasio:

• Supabase: Session and authentication cookies for our database and auth layer.
• Firebase: Phone verification and push notification tokens.
• Cashfree: Payment session cookies during checkout (governed by Cashfree's own policy).
• Vercel: Hosting and performance monitoring cookies.
• Google Maps: Location and geocoding services when you search near a landmark or college.

These services have their own privacy and cookie policies. We encourage you to review them.

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can:

• Block all cookies — this may break login and search features
• Block third-party cookies only
• Delete existing cookies on session end
• Receive a warning before a cookie is placed

Since we use essential cookies for authentication, logging out and clearing cookies will require you to sign in again on your next visit.

Here is how to manage cookies in common browsers:

• Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies
• Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Cookies
• Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies
• Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in how we use technology. When we make significant changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
