5stays keeps tracking to a minimum. This page explains when cookies or similar browser technologies may be involved.

Cookies used by 5stays
DataFast loads automatically using its cookieless analytics script. It does not use cookies for visitor identification. Session-only browser storage may be used, and a pseudonymous identifier rotates daily. DataFast is separate from the optional-services controls below. See the DataFast cookieless documentation.
You can allow or disable Google Analytics, where configured, below. It loads only after you allow it. Google advertising storage and personalisation are disabled. Your preference is saved in local storage. Disabling reloads the page to stop those scripts; it does not erase previously sent data or third-party cookies.
Stay22 live map
The Stay22 map is a third-party feature that loads automatically on guides where it is shown. Your browser connects to Stay22, which may use cookies or similar technologies to provide the map, measure its use and support affiliate attribution.
You can continue using hotel links with optional services disabled. See the Stay22 privacy policy.
Booking.com links
Stay22 affiliate features load automatically when you open a page, independently of the optional-services setting. Hotel booking links pass through Stay22 for affiliate attribution before opening Booking.com. Selecting a booking link leaves 5stays. Cookies set after that point are controlled by Booking.com and are covered by its own cookie and privacy notices.
Browser controls
Most browsers let you view, block or delete cookies in their privacy settings. Blocking essential technologies may affect how some sites work, but you do not need to load the Stay22 map to use the main 5stays guides.
