Cookie Policy
This is the complete list of cookies and similar storage HotelsRating uses. There are no advertising trackers.
1. Cookies we set
| Cookie | Category | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
| __hr_session | Strictly necessary | Keeps you signed in (httpOnly session cookie, shared across hotelsrating.com subdomains) | 14 days |
| hr.theme | Functional | Remembers your light/dark theme choice | 1 year |
| hr.consent | Strictly necessary | Remembers your analytics-cookie choice from the consent banner | 12 months |
| _ga, _ga_* | Analytics (Google Analytics 4) | Distinguishes visitors for aggregate usage statistics. Set only after you allow analytics in the consent banner | up to 13 months |
2. Other storage
If you sign in, the Firebase Authentication SDK keeps your sign-in state in your browser's local storage (IndexedDB). It is cleared when you sign out. During a subscription checkout, Stripe sets its own cookies on its payment pages under stripe.com — see Stripe's cookie policy for those.
3. Managing cookies
Strictly necessary and functional cookies are required for the site to work as you asked it to (staying signed in, keeping your theme). Analytics cookies are optional: where consent is required, they are set only after you agree, and you can withdraw consent at any time. You can also delete or block cookies in your browser settings; blocking the session cookie will sign you out.
