Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. They're used to remember choices you've made, keep a session working as you move between pages, or help a site understand how it's being used. This policy explains which cookies oceanviewresidences.com sets, why, and how you can control them.
We keep this simple — everything on this site is a first-party cookie, meaning it's set directly by oceanviewresidences.com, not by an ad network or a third-party tracker embedded on the page.
Some are session cookies that expire the moment you close your browser, and some are persistent cookies that stay for a set period so a choice you made — like accepting analytics — is remembered on your next visit. Each type is identified in the sections below.
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use this site — which pages are popular, how people find us, and roughly where visitors are browsing from. If you accept, this sets persistent cookies such as _ga and _ga_*, typically stored for up to 13 months.
These cookies are not essential — the site works fully without them, and they're only set once you click “Accept” on the cookie banner. If you decline, or don't choose either way, no cookie is set and nothing about you individually is tracked — we use Google's Consent Mode, which sends only an anonymous, cookieless signal Google uses to model aggregate traffic estimates, with nothing that identifies you. IP addresses are anonymized before being sent to Google, and we never pass your name, email, or any other identifying information into Analytics. We don't use Google Ads or remarketing, so no advertising cookies or ad personalization are ever enabled, regardless of your choice.
No advertising or retargeting cookies, no cross-site tracking, and no cookies from any third party other than Google Analytics. We don't sell or share visitor data with data brokers.
You can accept or decline analytics cookies at any time. Use the button below to reset your choice — the cookie banner will appear again on your next page view so you can pick again.
Every browser lets you view, block, or delete cookies at a device level, independent of any site's own preference tool:
If you'd rather Google Analytics never runs in your browser at all, on any site, Google provides a browser add-on that blocks it: Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
We don't embed social media “like” or “share” plug-ins, follow buttons, or any other third-party widgets that could set their own cookies. Any social media links on this site are plain links — clicking one takes you to that platform in a new tab, and nothing is shared until you get there.
Some browsers send a “Do Not Track” signal to sites you visit. There's no agreed industry standard for how sites should respond to it, so like most sites, we don't currently act on it directly — instead, we built consent directly into the site itself: no analytics cookie is ever set until you explicitly click “Accept,” regardless of your browser's Do Not Track setting.
Our staff-only admin dashboard sets one strictly-necessary session cookie when a staff member logs in. This only applies to authorized staff signing in at /admin — it never affects visitors browsing the public site, and it isn't a tracking cookie.
