This notice explains the cookies and similar technologies Houskey uses, what they do, and how you control them. It supplements our Privacy Policy (linked below).
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small files stored on your device. We also use comparable technologies such as localStorage. We group them by purpose:
- Strictly necessary: required to run the service (e.g. keeping you logged in and secure). These do not need consent.
- Analytics: help us understand how the site is used so we can improve it.
- Marketing: used to measure and tailor campaigns.
2. Consent
Under the GDPR and the Dutch Telecommunications Act (Telecommunicatiewet), non-essential cookies and scripts require your prior, specific, opt-in consent. Houskey does not set analytics or marketing cookies unless you have opted in. You can give or withdraw consent per category at any time; withdrawing consent does not affect processing that already took place.
Today Houskey uses only strictly necessary storage. We will ask for your consent before introducing any analytics or marketing technology, and this notice will list each one before it goes live.
3. Cookies and storage we use
| Name | Type | Purpose | Provider | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Authentication token | Strictly necessary | Keeps you signed in between requests | Houskey | Session / until logout |
| Cookie-consent preference | Strictly necessary | Remembers your consent choices | Houskey | 12 months |
| Language / locale | Strictly necessary | Remembers your language and display preferences | Houskey | 12 months |
We will add a row here for each analytics or marketing technology before it is enabled, including its name, purpose, provider and retention.
4. Managing cookies
You can manage non-essential consent through our cookie controls, and you can change your choices at any time. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings, though blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of the service from working.
5. Changes
We will update this notice whenever our use of cookies changes. The "Last updated" date above reflects the current version.
