Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to website owners.
How We Use Cookies
BookMyFarmhouse uses cookies for two purposes: authentication and analytics. We do not use advertising cookies or sell cookie data to third parties.
Cookies We Set
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| next-auth.session-token | BookMyFarmhouse | Authentication — keeps you logged in to your vendor or admin account | 7 days |
| next-auth.csrf-token | BookMyFarmhouse | CSRF protection for authentication forms | Session |
| _ga, _gid | Google Analytics | Distinguishes users and sessions for usage analytics | 2 years / 24 hours |
| _ga_* | Google Analytics | Maintains Google Analytics session state | 2 years |
Authentication Cookies
These are strictly necessary cookies. They are HTTP-only (inaccessible to JavaScript) and secure (HTTPS only). Without them, the vendor and admin portals cannot function. You cannot opt out of these cookies while using those parts of the site; however, if you only browse public listings, no authentication cookies are set.
Analytics Cookies (Google Analytics)
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our site — which pages are most visited, how long sessions last, and where traffic originates. The data is aggregated and anonymised; we do not use it to identify individual users.
You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking at any time by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Managing Cookies in Your Browser
Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically:
- View cookies currently stored on your device
- Block some or all cookies
- Delete cookies when you close your browser
Note that blocking all cookies will prevent vendor and admin account login from working. Public browsing of listings does not require cookies.
Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when we add or change cookies. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision.
