COOKIE POLICY

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit it. They let the site remember your choices between pages and visits, keep it working properly and help its operators understand how it is used. Similar technologies, such as local storage and pixels, work in comparable ways, and this policy covers them too.

2. How twocontinents.com uses them

We keep the use of cookies on the Website deliberately small. We do not show third-party advertising, and we do not sell data collected through cookies. The cookies we use fall into three groups.

Strictly necessary

These make the Website work and cannot be switched off in our systems. They do not identify you personally.

• twc-currency — remembers the currency you chose for displaying prices, so every page shows amounts consistently. Set by us; lasts one year.
• NEXT_LOCALE — remembers the language you chose, so you are sent to the right version of the Website. Set by us; kept for your browsing session.
• _GRECAPTCHA — set by Google reCAPTCHA, which protects our forms from automated abuse. Lasts six months. Google's privacy policy applies.

Functional

• Google Maps — property and office maps are loaded from Google, which may set its own cookies (for example NID) to run the map and remember your map preferences. Google's privacy policy applies.

Analytics

Where enabled, we use Google Analytics through Google Tag Manager to understand which pages and listings are viewed, how visitors reach the Website and where it can be improved. Statistics are aggregated and IP addresses are truncated.

• _ga — distinguishes visitors; lasts two years.
• _ga_* — keeps the state of the current visit; lasts two years.

Social networks and WhatsApp

Links to our Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and WhatsApp accounts take you to those platforms; we do not embed their tracking on the Website. Once you are on their sites, their cookie policies apply.

3. Managing cookies

You can control cookies through your browser settings: block them, allow them only from certain sites or delete the ones already stored. The help pages of Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge explain how. If you block strictly necessary cookies, parts of the Website — the language and currency choice, and the contact forms — may not work as intended. You can opt out of Google Analytics across all websites with Google's browser add-on.

4. "Do Not Track"

The Website does not currently respond to "Do Not Track" signals sent by browsers, as there is no common standard for them. The third-party services mentioned above follow their own approach.

5. Changes to this policy

We will update this page if the cookies we use change. The date of the last revision is shown at the top.
