We use a small number of cookies on the Hotel Owner Toolkit platform. They are all essential to operating the Service. We do not use cookies for advertising, behavioral profiling, or tracking you across other websites.
| Cookie | Set by | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
__stripe_* | Stripe | Operate Stripe Checkout securely | Session and up to 1 year, set by Stripe during checkout only |
__vercel_live_* | Vercel | Detect deployment environment (preview vs production) | Session |
That is the complete list. We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, Hotjar, FullStory, or any session-replay tool. We use Vercel Analytics for aggregate, anonymous traffic statistics — it does not set cookies and does not identify individual visitors.
Because the only cookies we use are essential, we do not present a cookie-consent banner that distinguishes between essential and non-essential cookies. There are no non-essential cookies to opt out of.
You can always block or clear cookies in your browser settings. Doing so may break the checkout flow but will not otherwise affect your ability to read the public pages of the site.
If we ever add a cookie that is not strictly essential, we will update this notice with the new cookie listed above, introduce a cookie-consent banner on the relevant surfaces, and require affirmative consent before the new cookie is set in any jurisdiction that requires it.
