Cookie notice
Last updated: 5 June 2026
Cookies are small text files a website stores on your device. This notice explains the cookies Houseroom uses and how to control them. It sits alongside our privacy policy.

Why you will not see a cookie banner
Under the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), strictly-necessary cookies do not require consent, so we do not interrupt you with a banner. If we ever introduce analytics or any other non-essential cookies, we will ask for your consent first and give you granular controls here before they are set.
Managing cookies
You can block or delete cookies through your browser's settings. Because the cookies we use are essential, blocking them will stop you from signing in and using your account.
