COOKIES POLICY

Last updated: 25th April 2026

This policy explains what cookies are, which ones we use on haineshomes.co.uk, and how you can control them. It sits alongside our Privacy Policy, which sets out how we handle personal data more broadly.

1. WHAT COOKIES ARE

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They let the site recognise your device, remember your preferences, and understand how the site is being used.

Some cookies are necessary for a website to function. Others are optional and help the site owner improve performance, content, and marketing.

2. WHO WE ARE

This website is operated by JK Avenir Estates Limited (Company No. 11889037), trading as Haines Homes, and Haines Developments Limited (Company No. 14575594), together "Haines", "we", "us".

Registered office: 5-7 Station Road, Longfield, Kent, DA3 7QD.

3. CATEGORIES OF COOKIES WE USE

Strictly necessary cookies (always on)

These cookies are required for the site to work. They handle things like page navigation, form submission, and remembering your cookie preferences. You can't opt out of these because the site won't function without them.

Analytics cookies (consent required)

These cookies help us understand how visitors use the site, which pages are most read, and where people drop off. We use this to improve content and structure.

We use Squarespace's built-in analytics for basic visitor data. We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors use the site. GA4 sets cookies that record pages visited, time on page, device type, and approximate location. We do not run advertising cookies. GA4 only fires after you accept analytics cookies in our banner.

Marketing cookies (consent required)

We do not currently run marketing or advertising cookies on this website.

4. THIRD-PARTY COOKIES

Some pages embed content from third parties that may set their own cookies. The main ones to be aware of:

  • CoHo (coho.life). Used for our tenant management and the live available rooms widget on the Tenants page. CoHo has its own privacy and cookies notices.
  • SpareRoom (spareroom.co.uk). Linked from the Tenants page. Their cookies apply only if you click through.
  • Squarespace (squarespace.com). Our website host. Sets cookies necessary for the site to function and serve content.

We don't control third-party cookies. If you visit those sites or interact with their embedded content, their own cookie policies apply.

5. HOW TO MANAGE COOKIES

You have three ways to control cookies on this site:

  • Our cookie banner. When you first visit, you can accept all cookies, decline non-essential ones, or open "Manage cookies" to choose category by category. Your preference is saved.
  • Cookie Preferences link. You can change your choices at any time using the "Cookie Preferences" link in the footer of this site.
  • Your browser. Every modern browser lets you delete or block cookies via its settings. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of this site from working.

6. DO-NOT-TRACK SIGNALS

Most browsers offer a "Do Not Track" signal you can enable. Industry standards on how websites should respond to it are still evolving, so we don't currently change our behaviour based on the signal alone. The cookie banner gives you direct control either way.

7. CHANGES TO THIS POLICY

We may update this policy from time to time, for example if we add a new tool that uses cookies. The latest version is always available on this page, with the date at the top reflecting the most recent change.
