This Cookie Policy explains how Hosttello uses cookies and similar technologies. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored in your browser when you visit a website. They help the website remember your preferences, keep you logged in, and understand how you use the service.
Cookies we use
Hosttello uses essential cookies by default. With your consent, we also use a small number of analytics and advertising cookies (see below) to understand traffic and measure our ads. You choose via the cookie banner — decline and none of them load. We never sell your personal data.
Essential cookies
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| hosttello_token | Authentication — keeps you logged in to the dashboard | 24 hours |
| hosttello_hostel | Stores your active hostel context (for multi-property users) | Session |
Analytics & advertising cookies (consent-based)
If you accept cookies in our banner, we may load Google Analytics (to understand how visitors use the site) and the Meta (Facebook) Pixel (to measure and improve our ads, and to show relevant ads to people who've visited us). These load only after you accept; if you decline, they are never loaded. You can change your choice at any time by clearing cookies for this site.
Third-party cookies
When you use Paddle checkout (for billing), Paddle may set its own cookies on their checkout page. See Paddle's privacy policy.
