Analytics
First-partyServer-side, first-party page-view tracking that helps us understand which listings and neighbourhoods are most searched. No third-party cookies are set — data is stored in our own database.
| What we track | How it works | Stored |
|---|---|---|
| Page views | Our TrackAnalytics middleware logs each page load server-side — URL, referrer, and UTM parameters. | Our DB |
| UTM attribution | UTM source/medium/campaign params are saved to your session so attribution survives page navigation. | Session |
| IP & User-Agent | Used for bot filtering and rough geographic stats. Not shared with third parties. | Our DB |
