1. What are Cookies and Local Storage?

Like most modern websites, MapleHomes uses technologies to remember your preferences and keep you logged in. While "cookies" are small text files stored on your device, we primarily use a newer technology called Local Storage.

Local Storage allows us to save data securely on your browser to make the site faster and more personal, without constantly sending data back and forth to our servers.

2. How We Use These Technologies

We use specific storage keys to ensure the site functions correctly. We do not use third-party tracking cookies for advertising purposes.

Name (Key) Purpose Type
maplehomes_user Stores your login session so you don't have to sign in on every page refresh. Essential
maplehomes_lang Remembers your preferred language (English, Korean, Chinese) selection. Preference
saved_listings Stores the IDs of listings you have "hearted" or saved for later. Functional
recent_searches Remembers your recent location or filter settings to speed up future searches. Functional

3. Managing Your Preferences

Since we respect your privacy, we only use these technologies for essential and functional purposes.

You can clear this data at any time by:

Note: Blocking Local Storage via browser settings may cause parts of the site (like Login or Saved Homes) to stop working.
