What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They’re widely used to make sites work, remember preferences, and understand how visitors use a service. Similar technologies (such as local storage and pixels) work in comparable ways.
Cookies can be set by the site you’re visiting (first-party) or by other domains used by that site (third-party).
How Placelio Uses Cookies
Placelio uses a small, focused set of cookies:
- Essential cookies — keep the site working, remember session state and help with security. These cannot be turned off without breaking core functionality.
- Preference cookies — remember small choices such as language or recently viewed hotels, so the experience feels consistent across visits.
- Analytics cookies — help us understand which pages and features are useful, in aggregate. We do not use this data to identify individual visitors.
We do not use advertising cookies or build profiles for ad targeting.
Managing Cookies
You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you:
- See which cookies are stored and delete them individually.
- Block third-party cookies.
- Block all cookies (note: this may break parts of Placelio and many other sites).
- Clear cookies automatically when you close the browser.
For step-by-step instructions, refer to your browser’s help section (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge and others all offer cookie controls).
Third-Party Cookies
Some pages on Placelio may embed third-party services — for example, an embedded map or analytics tag — that set their own cookies under their own privacy practices. We choose vendors carefully and limit them to what’s genuinely needed to run the service.
