Cookies Policy

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit our platform. They contain information that helps us recognize your browser and remember certain details about your visits and preferences. They allow the platform to recognise your browser, remember certain settings, keep your session secure, and understand how the platform is used.

Similar technologies may include local storage, session storage, pixels, tags, software development kits, and device or browser identifiers. In this policy, we use the word “cookies” to refer to cookies and similar technologies together.

Cookie components

A typical cookie contains:

• Domain name: the website that created the cookie
• Lifetime: how long the cookie remains active
• Value: usually a unique identifier or specific data
• Purpose: the function it serves on our platform

Cookie categories by duration

• Session cookies: temporary cookies that are deleted when you close your browser. These are essential for platform functionality during your visit.
• Persistent cookies: remain on your device for a specified period or until manually deleted. These help us remember your preferences and improve your experience across visits.

2.1 Essential cookies (always active)

Essential cookies are used because they are strictly necessary for the STATR platform to work securely. These cookies are necessary for the basic functionality of the platform and cannot be disabled as the platform may not work properly without them:

• Authentication cookies: keep you logged into your account securely
• Session management: maintain your session state across different pages
• Security cookies: protect against fraud and ensure platform security. Protect accounts and platform services against unauthorised access, abuse, fraud, and security threats.
• Load balancing: maintain system stability, error prevention, and service availability.
• Platform functionality: enable basic navigation, page loading, session state, and core platform features.

Legal basis: these cookies are processed based on legitimate interest as they are essential for platform operation.

2.2 Functional cookies (consent required) – non-essential cookies

Non-essential cookies, including analytics, functional, marketing, and AI-personalization cookies (where applicable), are used only where you have given consent through our cookie banner or preference center. You can change or withdraw your choices at any time. Functional cookies make the platform easier to use by remembering choices you make. Depending on applicable law and the nature of the cookie, these may require consent.

These cookies enhance your experience by remembering your preferences:

• Language preferences: remember your chosen language settings
• Display settings: store your preferred dashboard layout and view options
• Search filters: remember your property search criteria and preferences
• Notification settings: maintain your communication preferences
• Accessibility options: store any accessibility settings you have configured
• Algorithm preferences: remember your matching criteria adjustments

Legal basis: these cookies require your consent under GDPR and ePrivacy regulations.

2.3 Analytics and performance cookies (consent required)

Analytics and performance cookies help us understand how users interact with STATR so we can improve the platform. These cookies are used only where required consent has been provided:

• Usage analytics: track page visits, feature usage, and user journey patterns
• Performance monitoring: identify slow-loading pages and technical issues
• A/B testing: compare different versions of features to improve user experience. Understand which platform features are useful to buyers, investors, developers, and other users.
• Error reporting: test and improve user experience, design, and functionality. Automatically report technical issues for faster resolution

Legal basis: these cookies require your explicit consent for processing.

2.4 Marketing and targeting cookies (consent required)

Marketing and communication cookies are used only with consent. They help us understand the effectiveness of communications and, where enabled, provide more relevant platform updates or marketing content:

• Personalized content: avoid showing irrelevant or repetitive marketing messages where possible. Track engagement with STATR communications where permitted.
• Email campaign tracking: measure campaign and referral performance.
• Social media integration: support optional advertising, retargeting, or social media integrations if enabled.
• Advertisement targeting: show relevant ads on external platforms

Legal basis: these cookies require explicit consent and can be withdrawn at any time.

STATR uses selected service providers to operate, secure, monitor, and improve the platform. Some providers may set cookies or similar technologies when you use STATR. We do not allow third parties to use cookies through STATR for their own unrelated purposes unless you have consented where required.

The providers used by STATR may change as the platform develops. The cookie banner or preference centre should be treated as the most current list of active cookie categories and providers.

Important note: third-party providers may have their own privacy notices and cookie practices. Where a third-party cookie is placed directly by that provider, you should review that provider's privacy and cookie information for more details.

5.1 Use of cookie data for AI-assisted features

STATR may use limited cookie and usage data, where permitted by law and your consent choices, to improve property discovery, recommendations, chat context, user experience, and platform performance. This may include information about the types of properties you view, saved preferences, search filters, interaction patterns, and feedback you provide.

Our AI algorithm uses cookie data to improve matching:

• Behavioral patterns: analyze how users interact with different types of properties
• Preference evolution: track how your preferences change over time
• Success indicators: learn from successful matches to improve future recommendations
• User feedback: incorporate your ratings and feedback to refine matching algorithms
• Cross-reference analysis: compare similar user patterns to improve recommendations

5.2 Privacy safeguards for AI processing

Consent management and data minimization: non-essential cookie data is not used for AI-personalization unless consent has been provided where required. We aim to use only the data reasonably necessary for the relevant feature or improvement.

• Anonymization: where possible, data used for analytics and improvement is aggregated, pseudonymised, or minimised.
• Transparency: you can request explanations of algorithmic decisions affecting you. You can change your cookie preferences at any time through the cookie preference center.

5.3 No sensitive profiling by cookies – algorithm bias prevention

STATR does not intend to use cookies to infer sensitive personal characteristics such as race, religion, health status, political opinions, or similar protected characteristics. If any feature requires special-category or sensitive data, it should be handled separately under the Privacy Policy and only where lawful.

• Diverse training data: ensure representative data across different demographics
• Regular audits: conduct periodic bias assessments and corrections
• Fairness metrics: monitor for discriminatory outcomes in matching
• Feedback loops: integrate user reports of unfair or biased recommendations
• Continuous improvement: regularly update algorithms based on fairness assessments

6.1 Cookie preference center

You can manage your cookie choices through the cookie banner shown on your first visit and through the cookie preference centre where available. Through these controls, you may be able to:

• Accept all: consent to all cookie categories for the optimal experience
• Reject all (except essential): use only essential cookies for basic functionality
• Customize settings: choose specific cookie categories, such as functional, analytics, marketing, or AI-personalization cookies.
• Change preferences: change or withdraw your consent at any time.

• Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data.
• Safari: Settings or Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data.
• Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Manage and delete cookies and site data.

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” setting. Because there is no single industry standard for responding to Do Not Track signals, STATR may not respond to such signals in all cases.

You can still manage cookies through our cookie preference centre and your browser settings.

6.3 Impact of disabling cookies

• Essential cookies disabled: the platform may not function properly; login and security features may fail
• Functional cookies disabled: loss of personalized settings; need to re-enter preferences each visit
• Analytics cookies disabled: no impact on functionality; we will have less data to improve the platform
• Marketing cookies disabled: less personalized content; may still see generic advertisements

6.4 Consent withdrawal

You can withdraw your consent for non-essential cookies at any time by:

• Using the cookie preference center in your account
• Contacting us at info@statr.co
• Using browser settings to delete existing cookies
• Enabling “Do Not Track” in your browser (where supported)

Effect of withdrawal: withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn. Once withdrawn, no new non-essential cookies will be placed.

Impact of disabling cookies

Cookie retention periods vary depending on the cookie category, provider, and purpose. The exact duration of each cookie should be shown in the cookie preference centre where available.
