This policy explains the cookies and similar local storage StayBinder uses, and how you stay in control. We take a deny-by-default approach: we set no optional cookies until you opt in. It complements our privacy notice.
What we use, and why
Necessary (always on)
These are essential for the service to work and do not need consent.
- Consent record, a small entry in your browser's local
storage (
wb:cookie-consent) that remembers your cookie choice so we do not ask again on every visit. - Sign-in session, when you log in to the host portal, your session is stored locally to keep you signed in. This applies to hosts only; guests never sign in.
Analytics (off by default, opt-in)
We would like to understand which pages help most. Any analytics are anonymous and aggregate, and nothing fires until you allow it in the cookie banner. No analytics vendor currently runs; if we add one, it will load only with your consent and will be listed on our sub-processor page.
No third-party tracking on guest guides
Guest guides set no advertising or third-party tracking cookies. Usage statistics shown to hosts are cookie-free and anonymous. Where a guide embeds a video, we use a privacy-friendly, no-cookie player that loads nothing until a guest chooses to play.
Managing your choices
You can change your preferences at any time using the "Cookie preferences" link in the footer, or by clearing your browser's local storage for this site. You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings.
