Cookie policy
Last updated:
Below is exactly which cookies Bookalio sets, what each one does and how long it stays. No vague categories: the full list is right here.
The short version
By default we only set cookies needed to make the site work: your language choice, form security, your login session, and the cookie that remembers your cookie choice.
Analytics cookies are only set after you click "Accept". If you decline, or ignore the banner entirely, Google's script is never fetched at all. Nothing loads quietly in the background.
Necessary cookies
These cannot be turned off, because the site does not work without them. They do not require consent because they are strictly necessary.
| Name | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|
| apt_lang | Remembers which language you want the site in, so you do not have to pick it every visit. | 1 year |
| bookalio_consent | Remembers whether you accepted or declined analytics cookies, so we stop asking. | 180 days |
| wordpress_logged_in_* | Keeps you signed in after you log into your account or customer panel. | Session, or 14 days with "remember me" |
| wordpress_sec_* | Secures your signed-in session in the admin area. | Session, or 14 days with "remember me" |
| wp-settings-* | Stores personal screen preferences inside the admin area. | 1 year |
The last three are only set if you actually log in. If you browse without an account, you will never see them.
Analytics cookies (only with consent)
We use Google Analytics 4 to see which pages get visited and where people drop off. It helps us improve the site. Your IP address is anonymised and we do not tie the statistics back to a person.
| Name | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|
| _ga | Tells visitors apart using a randomly generated number. | 2 years |
| _ga_* | Keeps track of the state of your visit within a single session. | 2 years |
These are set by Google Ireland Limited. If you do not consent, they are not set and the script is not loaded.
What we do not use
For completeness, because the absence of these is information too:
- No advertising cookies and no retargeting.
- No social network tracking pixels.
- No cookies that follow you across other websites.
- We do not sell data to data brokers.
Changing your choice
You can change your mind at any time, and withdrawing is exactly as easy as giving. Use the button below; your choice applies immediately.
You can also clear cookies in your browser settings. Note that this removes the cookie holding your choice as well, so you will be asked again.
Third parties without a cookie
One more thing worth knowing, even though no cookie is involved: for fonts and site styling, your browser fetches files from Google Fonts and from a content delivery network. Your IP address is technically visible to those parties as a result. No cookie is set, but the connection happens on every page.
We are in the process of serving these files from our own server so those connections go away.
