2. Categories of Cookies We Use
GoldenYears Living utilizes the following specific categories of cookies:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: Essential for platform navigation, session security, and the step-by-step functionality of our Community Finder wizard.
- Preference & Functionality Cookies: Remember your selected city, budget filters, and preferred care options so you don't have to re-enter them on each page reload.
- Performance & Analytics Cookies: Gather anonymous usage metrics (such as page load speeds, visited tabs, and device types) to help us diagnose usability issues and streamline the user journey.
3. Purpose of Cookie Technologies
We use cookie data strictly to enhance platform responsiveness, maintain smooth interactive animations (such as our horizontal timelines and city selectors), and ensure your saved community shortlists remain intact throughout your session.
4. Third-Party Analytics
We may employ privacy-first analytics tools to understand high-level traffic patterns. These tools collect anonymized data such as approximate geographic region (city-level) and browser version, without tracking identifiable personal health inquiries.
