The short version
- Essential cookies keep you signed in. Zuba cannot work without them.
- Analytics cookies tell us which pages are used so we can improve them. You can block them and Zuba will still work.
- We do not use advertising cookies, and we do not let advertisers track you on Zuba.
01 Essential
These keep you signed in and keep your account safe. The two token cookies cannot be read by the page’s own scripts.
| Name | What it does | How long it lasts |
|---|---|---|
access_token | Proves you are signed in when you use your account | 1 hour if you tick “Remember me”, otherwise until you close your browser |
refresh_token | Signs you back in quietly when the access token runs out | 30 days with “Remember me”, otherwise until you close your browser |
user_data | Holds your name, email address, profile photo, role and verification tier, so the menu shows the right options before the page has finished loading | Same as refresh_token |
02 Preferences
These remember choices you made. Most live in your browser’s local storage rather than in cookies and never leave your device.
| Name | What it does | How long it lasts |
|---|---|---|
theme (local storage) | Remembers whether you chose light or dark mode | Until you clear it |
sidebar_state | Remembers whether you collapsed the dashboard sidebar | 7 days |
pending_save_property_id (local storage) | Remembers a property you tried to save before signing in, so it is saved once you do | Until you sign in |
has_seen_tenant_feature (local storage) | Stops the Tenant Registry introduction showing every time you open the dashboard | Until you clear it |
03 Analytics
These help us understand which pages people use and where they get stuck. We remove sign-in codes from page addresses before analytics tools see them, and we do not record your screen.
| Name | Set by | What it does | How long it lasts |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga, _ga_* | Google Analytics | Tells visits from the same browser apart | Up to 2 years |
ph_*_posthog | PostHog (EU servers) | Counts visits and the steps people take, such as starting and finishing sign-up | 1 year |
We also use Vercel Web Analytics to count page views and measure page speed. It does not use cookies or identify you.
04 Other services on our pages
Map images on listings come from OpenStreetMap, which receives your IP address when your browser loads them. If you sign in with Google, Google sets its own cookies on its sign-in page, under Google’s privacy policy.
05 How to turn cookies off
Every browser lets you block or delete cookies in its settings, usually under Privacy. If you block essential cookies you will not be able to sign in, but you can still browse listings.
To stop Google Analytics in every site you visit, use Google’s opt-out add-on. Browser privacy settings and content blockers will usually block PostHog too.
