Cookie Policy
Effective Date: July 8, 2026 | Last Updated: July 8, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies are, how Aegis Luxury Real Estate ("Aegis," "we," "us," or "our") uses them on aegishomesre.com and alstonhomes.com (the "Sites"), and the choices you have. It supplements our Privacy Policy and, for California residents, our California Privacy Notice, which describe how we handle Personal Information generally. Cookies do not typically contain information that directly identifies you, but Personal Information we hold about you may be linked to information stored in and obtained from cookies. We do not store sensitive personal information, such as passwords or financial information, in the cookies we use.
What Are Cookies and Pixels?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, mobile device, or other device by a website, which allow the site to recognize your device when you return. Cookies can be "persistent" (remaining on your device after you go offline) or "session" (deleted when you close your browser), and can be set by us ("first-party") or by our partners ("third-party"). Pixels (also called tags or web beacons) are tiny images placed on a website or in an email that allow the site operator or a third party to track what content is viewed; pixels are often used in combination with cookies. We also use similar technologies such as scripts and local storage.
Types of Cookies We Use
- Necessary / Essential Cookies (first-party; session and persistent): Essential to provide the Sites and enable their core features, including security, load balancing, and, where applicable, authenticating users and preventing fraudulent use of accounts. Without these cookies, services you have asked for cannot be provided. These cannot be switched off through our preference tool.
- Preference / Consent Cookies (first-party; persistent): Record whether you have seen our cookie notice and the preferences you selected, including any opt-out of the "sale" or "sharing" of Personal Information, so that we can honor your choices on return visits from the same browser and device.
- Functionality Cookies (first-party; persistent): Remember choices you make on the Sites, such as saved searches, favorites, and display preferences, so you don't have to re-enter them each visit.
- Analytics and Performance Cookies (first- and third-party; persistent): Help us understand traffic and how visitors use the Sites — pages and listings viewed, links clicked, and features used — typically linked to a pseudonymous identifier associated with your device. We use this to measure and improve content, diagnose problems, and test new pages and features. We use third-party analytics services, which may include Google Analytics.
- Advertising Cookies (third-party; persistent): Set by advertising networks and social networks to measure our marketing and to serve you more relevant advertising on our Sites and elsewhere, based on your activity over time. Disclosures to these partners may constitute a "sale" or "sharing" under certain state privacy laws; see our California Privacy Notice for details and your opt-out rights.
Your Choices
- Cookie Preferences tool: Visit aegishomesre.com or alstonhomes.com, scroll to the bottom of the page, select "Cookie Preferences," adjust your settings, and select Save Settings. Your choices apply to the site, browser, and device you are using, so please repeat them on each browser and device; clearing cookies may remove your saved preferences, requiring you to set them again.
- Do Not Sell or Share: California and certain other state residents may opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of Personal Information via the "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link in the Site footer, or by enabling a recognized opt-out preference signal such as the Global Privacy Control (globalprivacycontrol.org) in a supporting browser, which we honor as described in our California Privacy Notice.
- Browser settings: Most browsers let you block or delete cookies. See your browser's help pages: Chrome (support.google.com/chrome/answer/95647), Firefox (support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/delete-cookies-remove-info-websites-stored), Safari (support.apple.com/guide/safari/manage-cookies-and-website-data-sfri11471/mac), and Microsoft Edge (support.microsoft.com/microsoft-edge). If you disable cookies, you can still browse the Sites, but some features that rely on personalization may not function properly.
- Industry opt-outs: Digital Advertising Alliance AdChoices at youradchoices.com/control and AppChoices at youradchoices.com/appchoices; Network Advertising Initiative at thenai.org; Google Analytics opt-out at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. On mobile devices, you can limit ad tracking or opt out of ads personalization in your device settings.
Opting out of advertising cookies does not mean you will stop seeing ads; you may continue to see contextual (non-targeted) advertising.
Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the technologies we use or applicable law. When we do, we will update the "Last Updated" date above and, for material changes, provide notice as required by law.
