Cookie Policy
1. What this policy covers
This Cookie Policy explains how StaysIn uses cookies and similar technologies, including tags, pixels, local storage, and server-side identifiers when you use our website.
2. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your browser or device. They help websites remember settings, improve performance, measure usage, and support security and marketing features.
3. Categories of cookies we use
- Essential cookies: Required for core website operation, security, load balancing, authentication, and consent storage. These are always active.
- Analytics cookies: Used to understand website usage and performance so we can improve content and journeys.
- Advertising and measurement cookies: Used to measure campaign effectiveness and support relevant marketing where consent is provided.
- Functional cookies: Used for enhanced features and user experience preferences where applicable.
4. Technologies and platforms
Depending on your consent settings, we may use:
- Google Tag Manager (GTM) to manage scripts and tags.
- Google Analytics 4 (GA4) for traffic and behavior analytics.
- Meta Pixel for marketing attribution and conversion measurement.
We use a consent management flow. Optional categories are activated only after you grant consent. Essential cookies remain active as they are required for service operation.
5. Consent settings
You can accept all, reject non-essential, or customize your cookie preferences. You can reopen cookie settings and change choices at any time. Updated choices apply going forward and do not change past processing that was already lawful.
Where configured, Google Consent Mode signals are used so Google tags respect your selected consent state.
6. Cookie duration
Some cookies expire when you close your browser (session cookies). Others remain for a defined period (persistent cookies). Duration depends on cookie purpose and provider configuration.
7. Third-party cookies
Some cookies are set by third-party services integrated into our website. These providers control their own technologies and policies. We recommend reviewing their privacy and cookie documentation.
8. Browser controls
You can also manage cookies in your browser settings, including blocking or deleting cookies. Blocking some categories may impact site functionality and user experience.
