Cookies Notice

Last updated: 13 May 2026

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that a website saves on your device when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the site owner.

2. What we use

This website uses a very small number of cookies and similar technologies, none of which are used for advertising. Specifically:

• Strictly necessary: a session cookie used only during the booking flow to keep your selections together between pages and to verify the result of a Stripe payment. This cookie is essential and does not require consent.
• Local storage: we use your browser's local storage (not technically a cookie, but similar) to remember the minimum-night settings configured in the host admin dashboard and to keep you logged into the dashboard during your session. This data never leaves your device.

3. What we do not use

We do not currently use Google Analytics, advertising pixels, retargeting tags, or any third-party tracking. If we add basic, privacy-respecting analytics in future (for example Plausible or Fathom), we will update this notice first.

4. Third-party cookies

When you reach the Stripe Checkout page, Stripe may set its own cookies for fraud prevention and payment security. These are governed by Stripe's privacy policy at stripe.com/privacy.

5. Managing cookies

You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Doing so may affect the booking flow.
