Cookie Policy
Last updated: 29 May 2026
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which ones we use on RentYourNest, for what purposes, and how you can manage your preferences.
1. What cookies are

4. Managing consent
On your first visit a banner lets you accept all cookies, reject them, or customise your choices. You can change or withdraw consent at any time through the banner; on withdrawal, analytics cookies already set are removed.
5. Third-party cookies
Analytics cookies are managed by Google (Google Analytics 4) and Microsoft (Clarity), acting as third parties under their own policies. When you continue to a listing partner's site, that partner's cookies and policies apply.
6. Disabling cookies in your browser
Besides our banner, you can manage or delete cookies in your browser settings. Disabling necessary cookies may impair some site features.
