Cookie Policy

Last updated: 20 June 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Homfli ("Homfli", "we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on homfli.com. Homfli is a Bulgarian real estate marketplace for browsing, buying, renting, saving, and managing property listings. The platform is currently in an early-stage development / preview phase. Some features may be incomplete, experimental, disabled, or subject to change. This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website.

Cookies can be used for different purposes, such as:

  • Keeping you logged in
  • Remembering preferences
  • Securing the website
  • Measuring website usage
  • Personalising content
  • Showing advertising

Some cookies are necessary for a website to work. Others require your consent, depending on their purpose and applicable law.

2. How Homfli uses cookies

At the current stage, Homfli uses cookies mainly for authentication and session management.

Based on the current application codebase, Homfli does not set:

  • Analytics cookies
  • Advertising cookies
  • Retargeting pixels
  • Browser fingerprinting scripts
  • Persistent device identifiers beyond the necessary authentication session cookie

Homfli currently uses only necessary cookies for logged-in users.

If we introduce analytics, advertising, marketing cookies, preference cookies, or other non-essential cookies in the future, we will update this Cookie Policy and request consent where required.

3. Cookies currently used by Homfli

Homfli currently sets the following cookies:

Cookie namePurposeTypeExpiry
__sessionUsed to authenticate logged-in users with a Firebase session credentialNecessary7 days

3.1 __session

The __session cookie is used to keep logged-in users authenticated.

It contains a Firebase session credential, verified by our servers on each request, and is required for secure access to authenticated features such as saved listings, saved searches, recently viewed listings, and company listing management.

In production, this cookie is configured as:

  • httpOnly
  • sameSite: lax
  • secure

This cookie cannot be read by JavaScript running in the browser. Because it is necessary for authentication, it cannot be disabled through the cookie consent banner without affecting login functionality.

5. Silktide consent management

Homfli uses Silktide as its cookie consent management tool.

Silktide displays a cookie banner when you visit Homfli. Through the banner, you may accept, reject, or customise non-essential cookies.

You can reopen your preferences at any time by clicking “Cookie Preferences” in the site footer.

7. Managing your cookie preferences

You can manage your cookie preferences at any time by clicking “Cookie Preferences” in the footer of any page.

You may be able to:

  • Accept all cookies
  • Reject non-essential cookies
  • Customise cookie categories
  • Change or withdraw your consent later

8. Browser cookie controls

You can also manage cookies directly through your browser settings.

Most browsers allow you to:

  • View cookies
  • Delete cookies
  • Block cookies
  • Block third-party cookies
  • Clear cookies when closing the browser

Please note that blocking necessary cookies may cause parts of Homfli to stop working properly, especially login and account features.

9. Third-party services

Homfli uses third-party services that may process technical data or set cookies depending on how they are integrated.

These services may include:

  • Firebase Authentication
  • Firebase Storage / Google Cloud Storage
  • Google Maps / Places API
  • Resend
  • Vercel
  • Redis
  • PostgreSQL database hosting providers
  • OpenAI, if AI description functionality is enabled
  • Silktide

At the current stage, Homfli does not intentionally use analytics or advertising cookies through the application code itself.

If third-party services set cookies or similar technologies, these will be listed in the Silktide preferences panel.

10. Google Maps and Places API

Homfli may use Google Maps / Places API for address autocomplete, property location features, and location-based search.

When you use address autocomplete or map-related features, Google may process request data, address strings, IP address, and technical information according to Google's own terms and privacy practices.

Depending on the technical implementation, Google services may set cookies or use similar technologies. If detected, these will be listed in the Silktide preferences panel.

11. Authentication cookies and logged-in users

If you log in to Homfli, the httpOnly __session cookie is needed to keep your session active for up to 7 days.

If you delete or block authentication cookies, you may be logged out or unable to use account features such as:

  • Saving listings
  • Saving searches
  • Viewing recently viewed listings
  • Managing company profiles
  • Creating or editing property listings
  • Accessing protected pages

12. Changes to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, especially as Homfli develops, new features are added, the consent configuration changes, or third-party services change.

The updated version will be posted on this page with a new “Last updated” date.

If changes are material, we may provide additional notice where appropriate.
