In short: we use only a few essential cookies that make booking work securely. We don't use advertising or analytics cookies. Google Maps, which may set its own cookies, loads only if you allow it.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser. They let the site remember things between pages — for example, that you just started a payment — and help keep forms secure. Similar technologies such as local storage work in the same way and are covered by this policy too.
2. Essential cookies we set
These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to work and are set without asking, as permitted for services you request. You can block them in your browser, but booking and payment may then stop working.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
ci_session | Keeps your session while you move between pages — for example, to show your booking right after you return from PayMongo. Also keeps administrators signed in. | Up to 2 hours |
csrf_cookie_name | Security token that protects booking, cancellation and feedback forms from cross-site request forgery. | Up to 2 hours |
akoze_consent | Remembers your cookie choice so we don't ask again on every page. | 6 months |
3. Optional third-party content
Some den pages show an interactive Google Maps embed. When it loads, Google may set its own cookies and receive your IP address and browser information, under Google's cookie policy. We load the map only if you choose Allow all in our cookie banner or tap Load map on the page. The "Open in Google Maps / Apple Maps" links only contact those services when you click them.
4. Other services that load with our pages
To display fonts, icons and the date picker, our pages load files from Google Fonts, cdnjs (Cloudflare) and jsDelivr. These services do not set cookies through our site, but — like any web request — they receive your IP address and browser details in order to deliver the files.
When you pay, you are taken to PayMongo's secure checkout page. PayMongo may use its own cookies there for security and fraud prevention, as described in PayMongo's privacy policy.
5. What we don't use
- No advertising or retargeting cookies
- No Google Analytics, Meta Pixel or similar tracking tools
- No selling or sharing of cookie data with advertisers
If we ever add analytics or similar tools, we will update this policy and ask for your consent first.
6. Managing your choices
You can change your choice at any time:
You can also delete or block cookies in your browser settings. Help pages: Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge.
