This Cookie Policy explains how FlipMyStay uses cookies and similar technologies on flipmystay.com and related pages where it is linked (the Site). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
We use the Consent.io platform (c15t) to manage consent, display the cookie banner, and honour your selections. The preferences you set there are sent to our analytics and ad partners so that scripts only run after you grant permission.
1) What are cookies and similar technologies?
- Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the site owners
- Local storage & session storage store data in your browser for similar purposes
- Pixels/SDKs are small code snippets that, when loaded, can read or set cookies and send information to us or our partners
2) How we use them
We group our technologies into the categories below. We will only use non-essential categories with your consent through our banner or Cookie settings link.
- Strictly necessary
Required to operate the Site, provide security, prevent fraud, and enable basic functions like page navigation. These run without consent because they are essential - Preferences
Remember choices you make, such as your consent selections, language, or region - Analytics (consent)
Help us understand how the Site is used so we can improve it. We use aggregated reporting and do not attempt to identify you from analytics without your consent - Advertising (consent)
Enable us and our partners to measure ad performance, build or apply audience segments, or show you more relevant ads across our Site and others - Social media (consent)
Provide social features (e.g., share/like buttons) and allow social platforms to recognise you when you interact with content or when you are already logged in to those platforms. These technologies may be used to build or apply profiles for personalisation and measurement
Note: Advertising and social media technologies are set only if you accept them. If you are in the UK/EEA, we rely on your consent under the UK/EU e-privacy rules and GDPR. You can change your choice at any time
3) Your choices
- Banner: On your first visit we ask you to Accept, Reject non-essential, or Manage categories
