Cookie Policy

4. Purpose of Cookie Usage

We use cookies on pittrad.site for the following purposes, all of which support the delivery, security, and quality of our property development and real estate services online:

• Ensuring core functionality – to enable you to navigate the Website, access secure areas, submit enquiry forms, and use features that are necessary for the site to operate.
• Improving performance and reliability – to monitor site performance, identify technical issues, and optimise page loading times across different devices and browsers.
• Understanding usage patterns – to analyse which pages are visited, how long visitors remain on certain sections, and which navigation paths are most common, helping us refine content and structure.
• Enhancing user experience – to remember preferences such as previously submitted form details (where appropriate), preferred viewing options, or choices you make in our cookie banner.
• Supporting security and integrity – to help detect misuse, fraudulent activity, and potential security risks that could impact the stability or availability of our Website.

We do not use cookies to make automated decisions that produce legal effects or similarly significant impacts on you.

5. Consent and Cookie Preferences

Where required by applicable law, we will request your consent before placing non-essential cookies (such as performance, analytical, or certain functional cookies) on your device.

On your first visit to pittrad.site, you may see a cookie banner or notice that explains how we use cookies and provides you with a choice to accept or manage your preferences. Through this banner you can:

• Accept all categories of cookies that are not strictly necessary.
• Reject non-essential cookies while permitting essential cookies that are required for core site functionality.
• Access more information about each category of cookies.

You can withdraw or change your consent at any time by adjusting your browser settings or clearing cookies from your device, as described in section 7 below. If we implement additional on-site preference tools, such as a cookie settings panel, you will be able to review and modify your choices directly through that interface.

Please note that essential cookies do not rely on consent but are used based on our legitimate interest in providing a secure and functional Website.

8. Data Collected by Cookies

The data collected through cookies on pittrad.site is primarily technical and usage-related. Depending on the cookie type, this may include:

• Information about your device and browser (such as browser type, version, and operating system).
• Anonymous identifiers associated with your device or browser session.
• Pages visited, navigation paths, and time spent on different sections of the Website.
• Interaction data (for example, clicks on buttons or navigation elements).
• General location data derived from IP address (for example, country or region), where configured by analytics tools.
• Preferences related to cookies and certain site settings.

We aim to use cookies in a way that minimises the collection of personally identifiable information. Where cookie-derived data is linked with personal data (for example, in connection with an enquiry you submit via our Contact Us page), we treat the combined information as personal data in line with our Privacy Policy.

We do not sell information collected by cookies, and we use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect it.

9. Cookie Retention Periods

Cookies are stored for different lengths of time depending on their function:

• Session cookies – remain active only for the duration of your visit and are deleted from your device when you close your browser.
• Persistent cookies – remain on your device for a specified period or until you delete them. These help our Website remember you across multiple visits.

In general, we aim to set reasonable retention periods that align with the purpose of each cookie and with applicable legal requirements. For instance:

• Essential cookies are typically retained for as long as necessary to support the requested functionality.
• Analytical cookies may persist for several months to allow us to measure trends over time.
• Functional cookies may be set to remember your choices for a period that is useful for your interactions with the Website.

Where third-party providers set cookies, they determine their own retention periods. You can find further details in their respective policies or by reviewing your browser’s cookie storage information.
