Some pages on Rental Trust may embed content or tools from third parties (for example, Stripe for payment processing). These third parties may set their own cookies on your device. We do not control these cookies and recommend you review the relevant third-party privacy policies:
Strictly necessary cookies are placed on the basis of our legitimate interests in operating a secure and functional website (Article 6(1)(f) UK GDPR) and, where applicable, to perform a contract with you (Article 6(1)(b)). All other cookie categories (analytics, marketing, preferences) are placed only on the basis of your explicit consent (Article 6(1)(a) UK GDPR), which you may withdraw at any time.
Some cookies — in particular those used for authentication and platform administration via Manus.ai — result in personal data being transferred to servers operated by Meta Platforms, Inc. in the United States. These transfers are made under the UK Extension to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (the “UK-US Data Bridge”). Meta Platforms, Inc. is actively self-certified under this framework, as listed on the official Data Privacy Framework participant list. Where special category data (such as nationality or immigration status) is processed through these cookies, we expressly identify this data as sensitive to the recipient in accordance with our obligations under the framework.
