Cookie policy

Announced :2026-09-07

01 What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, and to provide information to the website operator.

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies hourplace.co uses, why we use them, and how you can manage them. For more information about how we handle your personal information generally, please see our Privacy Policy.

By clicking "Accept all" on the cookie consent banner, you consent to the use of all cookies described in this Policy. By clicking "Only necessary", you accept only strictly necessary cookies. You can change your preferences at any time via "Cookie settings" in the website footer or in your Settings page.

02 Cookies we use

Strictly necessary cookies and anonymous aggregate measurement operate without consent. Analytics (Google Analytics) and marketing cookies are active; how they are set depends on your region — with your consent in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, and by default elsewhere (see Section 3). You can change your cookie preferences at any time.

Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled — they are essential for the basic operation of the Service (login, security, payment flow). All other cookie categories are optional: in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland they are set only with your prior consent, and elsewhere you may opt out at any time via "Cookie settings". We also honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal.

03 Cookie consent banner

If you access hourplace.co from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, a cookie consent banner is displayed at the bottom of the page on your first visit. You will see two options:

Accept all — Allows all cookies, including analytics and marketing cookies.
Only necessary — Allows only strictly necessary cookies required for the Service to function.

Your selection is stored in the cookie_consent cookie for 12 months. After 12 months, or if you clear your browser cookies, the banner will appear again on your next visit.

You can update your preferences at any time by clicking "Cookie settings" in the website footer or in your Account Settings.

04 Your California choices — Do Not Sell or Share

We use marketing cookies (Meta Pixel, Google Ads) that constitute "sharing" of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising under California law. You have the right to opt out. We honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC): if your browser or extension sends a GPC signal, we treat it as a valid opt-out and stop sharing your information — no further action is needed. You can also opt out at any time by selecting "Only necessary" in "Cookie settings", or by emailing privacy@hourplace.co. Because we process opt-out preference signals (including GPC) in a frictionless manner, we provide these choices through this Policy and our cookie controls rather than a separate opt-out link.

05 How to manage cookies in your browser

In addition to the consent banner, you can control cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from logging in or completing bookings.
