This Cookie Policy explains how HotelNestly uses cookies and similar technologies. We've tried to keep it short and human.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember things — your preferences, whether you're signed in, what you've looked at — so it works smoothly each time you return.
Similar technologies (local storage, pixels, SDKs) work in similar ways. We refer to them all as "cookies" in this policy.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
Essential cookies
Required for the site to function — sign-in state, session management, security, and your saved-stay list. These cannot be disabled.
Analytics cookies
Help us understand which pages travelers find useful, where they drop off, and how to improve the platform. Only set with your consent. Examples: anonymous page views, click events, search terms.
Preference cookies
Remember choices you make — language, region, recently viewed stays — so you don't have to set them every visit.
Marketing cookies
Used to show relevant content on partner sites and measure campaign performance. Only set with your consent. We do not run third-party ad networks on HotelNestly itself.
3. Why We Use Cookies
Cookies help us:
- Keep you signed in across pages.
- Remember your wishlist and recently viewed stays.
- Understand which content travelers love (so we make more of it).
- Detect fraud and protect your account.
- Measure newsletter and partner campaign performance.
4. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are set by third parties we work with:
- Analytics providers (e.g. privacy-respecting analytics) — for usage understanding.
- Embedded services (maps, fonts, video players) — set their own cookies when their content loads on a HotelNestly page.
- Booking partners — when you click through to a partner, that partner sets its own cookies on its site.
These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies. We don't control them.
5. Managing Cookies
You can manage cookie preferences in three ways:
- Our cookie banner — appears on first visit and lets you accept or decline non-essential cookies.
- Your browser settings — most browsers let you block, delete, or limit cookies. Note: blocking essential cookies may break parts of the site.
- Device settings — on mobile, you can reset your advertising identifier in system settings.
6. Changes to This Policy
If we add new cookies or change how we use them, we'll update this policy and refresh the "Last updated" date. For significant changes, we'll show a notice on the site.
