What cookies we use, why we use them, and how to control them.
This Cookie Policy explains how StayPilot ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website at staypilot.com or use the StayPilot dashboard. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to website owners.
Cookies can be "session cookies" (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (stored on your device for a set period or until you delete them).
We also use technologies similar to cookies, including local storage, session storage, and pixel tags (web beacons), which work in similar ways.
These cookies are essential for the StayPilot platform to function. They cannot be disabled. Without these cookies, services like authentication, session management, and security cannot work.
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website — which pages are visited most, how long sessions last, and where visitors come from. This helps us improve the platform. Analytics data is aggregated and anonymized.
These cookies remember your preferences such as language settings, dashboard layout, and saved filters to provide a more personalized experience.
