Cookie Policy — MyHome Passport

Effective date: 20 April 2026
Last updated: 20 April 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how MyHome Passport uses cookies and similar technologies. We have kept this policy deliberately short because our use of cookies is minimal.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide information to website operators.

The MyHome Passport mobile app (iOS/Android) does not use cookies at all — it uses secure device storage for session management instead. This Cookie Policy applies only to the web version of the Service accessed via a browser.

2. Cookies we use

We use only strictly necessary cookies required for the Service to function. We do not use tracking, analytics, or advertising cookies.

Cookie name	Type	Purpose	Duration
`connect.sid`	Essential	Session cookie used to keep you logged in to the web version of the Service. Without this cookie the Service cannot function.	Session (deleted when you close your browser, or after 7 days of inactivity)
`_csrf`	Essential	Security cookie used to prevent Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks on web forms.	Session

3. Cookies we do NOT use

Category	Used?	Detail
Analytics / performance	No	We do not use Google Analytics, Mixpanel, Hotjar, or any other analytics service.
Advertising / targeting	No	We do not serve ads and do not use any advertising cookies or pixels.
Social media	No	We do not embed social media buttons or trackers.
Third-party tracking	No	We do not share cookie data with data brokers or third-party advertisers.

4. Third-party services

The following third-party services are used as part of delivering the Service. These services may set their own cookies or use their own storage mechanisms, governed by their own privacy policies:

Stripe — payment processing for housing provider subscriptions. Stripe may set cookies on payment pages. See Stripe's Cookie Policy.
Google Fonts — we load the Inter typeface from Google Fonts via CDN on admin pages. Google may log font requests. See Google's Privacy Policy.

These third-party cookies, if any, are outside our control. We minimise third-party dependencies wherever possible.

5. How to control cookies

Because we only use strictly necessary cookies, disabling them will prevent the web version of the Service from working correctly. However, you can manage cookie settings through your browser:

The mobile app (iOS/Android) does not use cookies, so browser cookie settings do not apply to it.

6. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy if we change our use of cookies. We will notify you of any material changes via the app or email.
