This Cookie Policy applies to gudflat.com and associated subdomains, owned and operated by UCDREAMS TECHNOLOGIES LLP (LLP Identification: ucdreams.com), incorporated in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India. By accessing our platform, registering an account, or submitting a property listing, you consent to our use of cookies and local storage as described herein.
1What Are Cookies and Local Storage Technologies?
Cookies are small text data files transferred to your computer, tablet, or smartphone browser when you visit a website. Along with cookies, we utilize modern browser storage technologies like HTML5 LocalStorage and SessionStorage. These allow us to remember your active login state, store your shortlisted flats, preserve your search filter preferences across page refreshes, and safeguard your account against unauthorized sessions.
2Categories of Cookies We Deploy
These cookies are vital for the platform to function securely. They manage your authenticated session, keep you logged into your tenant or owner profile, verify form submissions against Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF), and maintain network security. You cannot disable these cookies without breaking core site functionality.
These allow the platform to remember your personal browsing choices on GudFlat, such as your Saved Wishlist rooms, Recently Viewed Listings history, preferred locality filters in Bengaluru, and UI layout settings.
We deploy security tokens to detect automated web scrapers, crawler bots, and unauthorized attempts to harvest proprietary property data, watermarked photographs, or confidential owner details. This protects genuine tenants and landlords from spam calls and data leakage.
These cookies collect aggregated, anonymized metrics on page speed, Core Web Vitals (LCP, INP), popular Bengaluru localities, and broken links, enabling our engineering team to ensure rapid load times across mobile 4G/5G connections.
3Third-Party Service Integration Cookies
GudFlat integrates select trusted third-party technologies to deliver core rental discovery features:
- Google Identity Services (OAuth 2.0): Facilitates 1-click verified login and signup using your verified Google profile. Google manages authentication tokens subject to Google's Privacy Policy.
- Google Maps Platform: Powers interactive map pin exploration, approximate radius previews, and distance estimations across Bengaluru neighborhoods without disclosing confidential flat numbers.
- WhatsApp Messaging Gateway: Direct tenant-broker messaging links initiate outside our application via Meta Platforms WhatsApp API; we do not store WhatsApp cookies on your browser.
