Cookie Policy

Last updated: July 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Oyster Properties (a trading name of Rafiki Ltd, company number 03744449) uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device, remember your preferences, and understand how the site is used. Similar technologies such as pixels, tags, and local storage work in comparable ways. In this policy we refer to all of these as "cookies".

2. The cookies we use

We group cookies into the following categories:

Strictly necessary cookies. These are essential for the website to function — for example, enabling navigation, security, and remembering items such as saved or favourited properties during your visit. These cookies do not require your consent, and the website cannot work properly without them.

Analytics and performance cookies. These help us understand how visitors use our website — which pages are viewed, how long visitors stay, and whether they encounter errors — so we can improve it. We use these only with your consent.

Functionality cookies. These remember choices you make to give you a more personalised experience. We use these only with your consent.

Marketing and advertising cookies. These may be set by us or by advertising partners to measure the effectiveness of our advertising and to show relevant content. We use these only with your consent.

A detailed list of the specific cookies in use, their providers, and their durations is available in the cookie settings panel on our website.

3. Your consent and how to manage cookies

When you first visit our website, you are shown a cookie banner that lets you accept all cookies, reject all non-essential cookies, or set your preferences by category. Strictly necessary cookies are always active.

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by clicking the Cookie Settings link in the website footer.

You can also control cookies through your browser settings, including deleting existing cookies and blocking future ones. If you block strictly necessary cookies, some parts of the website may not work properly. Guidance for common browsers is available at aboutcookies.org.

4. Third-party cookies

Some cookies are set by third parties that provide services on our website, such as analytics and advertising providers, and embedded content (for example, maps or local-area data). These third parties may process your data in accordance with their own privacy policies, which we recommend you review.

5. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or in the law. Any changes will be posted on this page.
