Understanding how and why we use cookies

​

The Share Project Pty Ltd use cookies to provide you with the best experience and a more customised service. Among other things, cookies allow you to log on to My Home, save and compare properties within a development, create a favourites list of properties you like and receive email alerts when a property matching your search criteria becomes available. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them and what benefits they bring.

​

As you may be aware, recent legislation requires websites to gain visitors' consent to use certain cookies. We're continuously working to implement appropriate changes to our website.

​

What is a cookie?

​

Cookies are small text files that are sent to and stored on your computer, smartphone or other device for accessing the Internet, whenever you visit a website. Each cookie is unique to your web browser. It will contain some anonymous information such as a unique identifier and the site name and some digits and numbers. Cookies are specific to the server that created them and cannot be accessed by other servers, which means that they cannot be used to track your movements around the web. Passwords and credit card numbers are not stored in cookies.

Most websites you visit will use cookies in order to improve your user experience by enabling that website to 'remember' you, either for the duration of your visit (using a 'session cookie') or for repeat visits (using a 'persistent cookie').

​

The Berkeley Group use cookies for a variety of reasons, such as to determine preferences, let users navigate between pages efficiently, verify the user and carry out other essential security.

​

Cookies make the interaction between you and the website faster and easier. If a website doesn't use cookies, it will think you are a new visitor every time you move to a new page on the site - for example, when you enter your login details and move to another page it won't recognise you and it won't be able to keep you logged in.

​

Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting ('first party cookies') or they may be set by other websites who run content on the page you are viewing ('third party cookies').

​

We don't sell the information collected by cookies, nor do we disclose the information to third parties, except where required by law (for example, to government bodies and law enforcement agencies).

​
