Cookie Policy

What cookies we use, why, and for how long.

Modular House uses a small number of first-party cookies to measure how visitors use our site, plus the cookies our admin panel needs to keep signed-in administrators authenticated and remember their preferences. We do not use cookies for third-party advertising or behavioural profiling. The table below is the complete, authoritative list of every cookie we set — it is generated directly from our codebase, so it always reflects exactly what the site does.
