Privacy Policy
Last updated: April 2026
hotelscout.net ("we", "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information when you visit our website.
Information We Collect
We collect anonymous usage data through Cloudflare analytics, including page views, referral sources, and general geographic location. We do not collect personally identifiable information unless you voluntarily provide it.
Cookies
We use essential cookies required for site functionality. Third-party services (Booking.com) may set additional cookies when you click affiliate links.
Essential Cookies (always active)
Essential cookies are required for the site to function and cannot be disabled. We use one essential cookie to store your cookie consent preference (cookie-consent). This cookie is stored in your browser's local storage and does not contain any personally identifiable information.
Analytics Cookies (with your consent)
With your consent, we use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our site. Google Analytics collects anonymised data such as page views, session duration, and general geographic location. This data helps us improve the site's content and structure. Google Analytics sets cookies (such as _ga and _gid) in your browser to distinguish visitors and sessions.
Your Choices
- You can accept or reject non-essential cookies when the cookie banner appears on your first visit.
- You can change your preference at any time by clicking “Cookie Preferences” in the footer.
- You can also clear all cookies by adjusting your browser settings — refer to your browser's help pages for instructions.
- Rejecting analytics cookies will not affect your ability to use the site.
How Long Cookies Last
Your consent preference is stored in local storage indefinitely until you clear it manually via the “Cookie Preferences” link in the footer or by clearing your browser data. Google Analytics cookies (_ga) expire after 2 years; session cookies (_gid) expire after 24 hours.
Affiliate Links
When you click a hotel booking link, you are redirected to Booking.com. We log the click event (page type, timestamp) for analytics but do not track personal data.
