Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how NOT A HOTEL Inc. and its affiliates and subsidiaries (“NOT A HOTEL”, “we”, “us” or “our”) use cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website (“Website”). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.

To the extent that we collect personal data with the help of cookies, we will process it in accordance withthe Privacy Policy (for EU and UK residents).

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Types of cookies we use

We use four categories of cookies on our Website:

  • Strictly necessary cookies. These cookies are essential in order to enable you to move around the website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the website. Without these cookies services you have asked for, like shopping baskets or e-billing, cannot be provided.
  • Performance cookies. These cookies collect information about how visitors use a website, for instance which pages visitors go to most often, and if they get error messages from web pages. These cookies do not collect information that identifies a visitor. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. It is only used to improve how a website works.
  • Functionality cookies. These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. For instance, a website may be able to provide you with local weather reports or traffic news by storing in a cookie the region in which you are currently located. These cookies can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts and other parts of web pages that you can customise. They may also be used to provide services you have asked for such as watching a video or commenting on a blog. The information these cookies collect may be anonymised and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.
  • Targeting or advertising cookies. These cookies are used to deliver adverts more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator’s permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organisations such as advertisers. Quite often targeting or advertising cookies will be linked to site functionality provided by the other organisation.

Depending on how long the cookies remain in your browser, they may also be divided into two different groups:

  • Session cookies. These are temporary cookies that remain in the cookie file of your browser until you leave this Website.
  • Persistent cookies. These remain in the cookie file of your browser even after you close the browser. They have expiration dates and can be used to store information that can be accessed across multiple browsing sessions.

You can find more information about the individual cookies we use and the purposes for which we use them in the table below:
