Last updated: February 2026
1. Introduction
GoodLords (“GoodLords,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our tenant referencing and verification platform (the “Platform”). This Cookie Policy explains what cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which describes how we collect, use, and protect your personal data.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the site owner. We also use local storage in your browser to remember your cookie consent choices; this is not a cookie but works in a similar way for preference storage.
3. Categories of Cookies We Use
We use the following categories of cookies:
Necessary cookies
These cookies are essential for the Platform to function. They enable core features such as keeping you signed in, securing your session, and protecting against abuse. Without these cookies, we cannot provide the Service. They do not require your consent under applicable law.
Analytics cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors use the Platform (e.g. which pages are visited, how long users stay). We use this information to improve the Service. We only set analytics cookies if you have accepted them via our cookie banner. Our analytics provider (e.g. Vercel Analytics) is used in a way that respects privacy and does not involve selling your personal data.
Marketing cookies
These cookies may be used for advertising, retargeting, or conversion tracking when we use third-party marketing tools. They are only set when you have accepted marketing cookies via our cookie banner.
4. Specific Cookies and Storage We Use
The table below describes the main cookies and similar storage we use:
| Name / type | Purpose | Category | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| next-auth.session-token (or __Secure-next-auth.session-token) | Keeps you signed in; stores session identifier (JWT). Required for authentication and security. | Necessary | Session / up to 24 hours |
| cookie-consent (local storage) | Stores your cookie preference choices (necessary, analytics, marketing) so we do not ask again on every visit. | Necessary (preference) | Until you clear site data or change preferences |
| Analytics cookies (e.g. Vercel Analytics) | Page views and usage statistics to improve the Platform. Only used when you accept analytics. | Analytics | As set by the provider |
| Marketing / advertising cookies | Used for advertising or retargeting when we use such tools. Only set when you accept marketing cookies. | Marketing | As set by the provider |
We may update this list when we add or change features. The “Last updated” date at the top of this policy reflects the latest version.
5. How to Manage Your Preferences
You can change your cookie preferences at any time by opening the cookie preferences from our cookie banner (e.g. via “Customize” or a “Cookie preferences” link on the site). There you can turn analytics and marketing cookies on or off; necessary cookies remain enabled for the Service to work. You can also delete or block cookies via your browser settings. Disabling or deleting necessary cookies may prevent you from signing in or using parts of the Platform. For more on how we use your data, see our Privacy Policy.
6. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. We will post the updated policy on this page and update the “Last updated” date. Material changes may be communicated by a notice on the Platform where practicable. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of any change constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
