Cookies Policy

Like most websites, we use cookies and similar technologies to help Residents Guide run smoothly, remember preferences, and understand how members explore.

Effective: November 4, 2026

1. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?

Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, tablet, or mobile phone when you visit a website. We also use modern browser storage technologies (such as HTML5 local storage and session storage). These tools help our platform recognize your browser across visits and remember your choices so you don’t have to re-enter them every time you return.

This Cookies Policy works directly alongside our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

2. How We Use Cookies

We believe in minimal, purposeful technology. We use cookies and web storage strictly to make your local discovery seamless:

Staying signed in: Keeping you logged into your resident account as you move between neighborhood pages.
Saving your preferences: Remembering your selected district, favorite spots, and custom interface settings.
Platform security: Protecting community members by preventing cross-site request forgery and unauthorized access.
Understanding exploration: Counting visits and seeing which neighborhood guides are most active so we can improve local coverage.
Fixing glitches: Diagnosing technical errors or slow page loads to keep discovery fast and reliable.

3. What We Do Not Use

We do not use third-party advertising cookies, behavioral tracking pixels, or cross-site remarketing tags. We do not sell your browsing activity to data brokers or track your movement across unrelated websites.

4. Categories and Lifespan

Session Storage & Cookies: Temporary files that expire automatically the moment you close your browser. They help you navigate from one page to another without losing your place.
Persistent Cookies: Files that remain on your device for a defined period (typically between 30 days and 12 months) or until you delete them. These remember your preferred district and account login across visits.
First-Party vs. Trusted Service Partners: Most cookies are set directly by Residents Guide. In limited instances, we work with trusted infrastructure providers (such as secure cloud hosting and privacy-focused site analytics) to help us measure site health.

5. Your Choices and Controls

You stay in control of how cookies are saved on your device:

Browser Settings: You can configure your browser (such as Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or Edge) to block cookies, notify you when a cookie is set, or clear existing cookies. Look for “Privacy,” “Cookies,” or “Clear Browsing Data” in your browser’s settings menu.
Impact of Blocking Cookies: If you disable all cookies, public neighborhood guides will still load normally. However, interactive features like staying signed in, saving favorite spots, or retaining district filters will not work properly.
Global Privacy Signals & Do Not Track: Our platform honors standard browser privacy signals. Because we never engage in third-party behavioral tracking or data sales, your browsing remains private by default.

6. Updates to This Policy

We may periodically update this Cookies Policy to reflect new site features or changing privacy standards. Any significant adjustments will be posted here with an updated date.
