Cookies

openhome_session

Cookie. Set when you log in, and only then. Keeps you logged in. Contains a random token and nothing else, no name, no identifier you could read. httpOnly (JavaScript cannot read it), SameSite=Lax, Secure in production, 60 days. Strictly necessary: without it there is no logged-in state. Logging out removes it.

openhome_locale

Cookie. Set only when you switch language. Holds "ka" or "en" so the server renders the right one. SameSite=Lax, one year. Without it we fall back to your browser’s Accept-Language.

openhome_currency

Local storage, not a cookie. Holds the currency you chose to see prices in. Never sent to the server, the conversion happens in your browser.

openhome_theme

Local storage. Holds "light" or "dark" if you overrode your system setting, so the page does not flash the wrong theme before it paints.

openhome_cookie_choice

Local storage. Records that you answered the cookie notice, so it stops appearing. That is all it does.

This is unusual enough to be worth spelling out, and it is one of the reasons this platform exists:

• No advertising or remarketing cookies. There is no advertising on the platform, so there is nothing to target. You will not see a flat you looked at here following you around other websites.
• No third-party analytics. No Google Analytics, no Meta pixel, no session-recording tool, no heatmap script, no A/B testing vendor. Which flats you look at is not a fact we hand to anyone.
• No social login buttons that track you before you press them and no embedded like-and-share widgets.
• We do count usage, how often a listing is viewed, whether a search returned nothing, but the counting is first-party, lands in our own database, and is tied to a rotating salted identifier rather than to you. See the privacy policy.

Two things load in your browser from someone else's servers, so those servers see your IP address. We would rather say so than let you find out from a network tab.
