Cookie Policy
Cookies we actually use.
This list is based on the scripts and libraries currently deployed on TVL Geek, not a generic template. If we add a tracker, we will update this page and ask for consent before setting non-essential cookies.
§01 What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. Similar technologies (local storage, pixels) can do a similar job. We use them only where needed to run the site, remember a choice you made, or — if we later add them with consent — measure or market.
§02 What this site actually loads
After inspecting the application:
| Provider | Purpose | Category | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| TVL Geek (first party) | Keep search/booking steps, session and cookie-acknowledgement working. | Strictly necessary | Session / up to 12 months for the acknowledgement |
| Stripe | Take card payment on checkout. Stripe may set cookies that are required to process the payment securely. | Strictly necessary (payment) | Set by Stripe on payment pages — see Stripe's privacy notice |
We do not currently load Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics / GA4, Google Ads, Meta Pixel, TikTok Pixel, Microsoft UET, Hotjar, Microsoft Clarity, reCAPTCHA, embedded YouTube/maps widgets, affiliate conversion pixels, or a third-party CMP. A dataLayer helper exists in code for possible future events; it does not load Google tags by itself.
We do not invent cookie names for tools that are not deployed. Stripe cookie names are set by Stripe, not by us.
§03 Categories
- Strictly necessary — required to search, book, pay and remember cookie choices. Always on.
- Functional / preferences — not currently used beyond the necessary acknowledgement.
- Analytics — not currently deployed.
- Marketing / advertising — not currently deployed.
§04 Consent
Non-essential analytics or marketing cookies will not be set before valid consent where consent is required. Because those categories are not deployed today, the cookie notice explains the necessary cookies and lets you acknowledge them. Rejecting non-essential cookies is as available as accepting them: there is nothing extra to accept until we add a tracker.
You can reopen cookie preferences from the footer. Changing or withdrawing consent takes effect going forward, not retroactively.
§05 Managing cookies
Use in the footer, or your browser's site-cookie controls. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop search or checkout from working.
