Cookies
Last updated: April 2026
The short version
We use only essential cookies — ones the platform needs to function. No advertising cookies, no third-party trackers, no analytics that follow you around the web. Geolocation is opt-in via your browser, never via a cookie.
What we use
| Cookie | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
__session | Clerk auth — keeps you signed in | Session |
__clerk_* | Clerk auth state and CSRF protection | Session – 7 days |
staybotic_session_id | Anonymous concierge session identifier so the AI remembers your conversation | 30 days |
staybotic_recent_* | localStorage — anti-repeat for "Surprise me" picks | Until cleared |
What we don't use
- Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any cross-site tracking
- Advertising or remarketing cookies
- Third-party data brokers
Geolocation
If you allow your browser to share location, we use it to suggest stays near you for the current session only. We don't store coordinates. You can revoke permission anytime in your browser settings.
Managing cookies
You can clear or block cookies in your browser settings. Disabling essential cookies will sign you out and stop the concierge from remembering your conversation — the platform will still work but your experience will reset on every visit.
