Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website.
They help the site remember your actions and preferences over time so you don't have to re-enter them each visit.

Some cookies are also used to understand how people use a website, which helps improve the experience for everyone.

2. How We Use Cookies

Yeti Homes uses cookies and similar technologies to operate, secure, and improve our platform. Specifically, cookies help us:

• Keep you signed in to your Yeti Homes account across sessions.
• Remember your property search preferences — saved locations such as Lalitpur, Bhaktapur, or Pokhara, price ranges in NPR, and property type filters.
• Optimise the performance of interactive features including 3D virtual tours, image galleries, and map-based search.
• Detect and prevent fraudulent activity, spam, and abuse on the platform.
• Measure traffic patterns and understand which listings, pages, and features are most useful to our visitors.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies: Required for core functionality — authentication, security, and session management.
Without these, you cannot log in, save properties, or submit enquiries. These cannot be disabled.

Functional Cookies: Remember your choices and preferences — language, currency display (NPR), recently viewed listings, and dark/light mode settings — to provide a more personalised experience.

Analytical / Performance Cookies: Help us understand how visitors navigate the site, which pages are visited most, and where errors occur.
This data is aggregated and anonymised, meaning it cannot identify you personally.

Marketing Cookies: Used to deliver relevant property recommendations and measure the effectiveness of our campaigns.
These may be set by third-party advertising partners and can track your browsing activity across other sites.

4. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are placed by services that appear on our pages but are operated by third parties. We do not control these cookies.

Third parties that may set cookies through our site include:

• Google Analytics — for anonymised traffic and behaviour analysis.
• Google Maps — to power interactive property location maps and neighbourhood search.
• Meta (Facebook) Pixel — to measure ad performance and deliver relevant property listings on social platforms.

Each third party operates under its own privacy and cookie policy.
We encourage you to review their policies directly.

5. Cookie Retention

Cookies remain on your device for different periods depending on their type:

• Session cookies are temporary and are deleted automatically when you close your browser.
• Persistent cookies remain on your device until they expire or you manually delete them.
  Our persistent cookies have a maximum lifespan of 12 months.

6. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have control over which cookies are stored on your device. You can manage your preferences in the following ways:

• Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through their settings.
  Consult your browser's help documentation for instructions specific to Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or Edge.
• Our cookie banner: When you first visit Yeti Homes, you will see a cookie consent banner where you can accept or customise which non-essential cookie categories are enabled.
• Opt-out links: For analytics, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Please note that disabling essential or functional cookies may degrade your experience — some features such as saved searches, account login, and interactive maps may not work as expected.

7. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or our business practices.

The “Last updated” date at the top of this page indicates the most recent revision. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
