What can live in your browser
Cookies are small files a website can store in your browser. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, pixels, and identifiers sent with web requests. This policy uses "tracking technologies" as a collective term for these tools.
VocaStay does not currently rely on third-party advertising cookies. We use first-party session storage to support a search in progress, avoid duplicate analytics events, and associate limited events generated during one browser session.
VocaStay's current storage inventory
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
vocastay:pending-live-search | First-party session storage | Preserves the search-loading experience while navigation begins. | Removed when the search page reads it, or when the browser session ends. |
vocastay:analytics-session | First-party session storage | Creates a random session identifier used to measure page visits, searches, engagement, and provider-link selections. The analytics database stores a salted hash rather than the original identifier. | Browser session. Associated server-side analytics records are configured to expire after 90 days. |
vocastay:visit-sent:*vocastay:engagement-sent:* | First-party session storage | Prevents VocaStay from counting the same page visit or qualified engagement more than once in a session. | Browser session. |
Maps and booking sites are separate
Search maps use resources supplied by OpenFreeMap and OpenStreetMap. When your browser requests those resources, the map service may receive technical information such as your IP address and browser details under its own policies.
When you select a booking offer, you leave VocaStay. Expedia, Vrbo, Booking.com, and other providers may use their own cookies and tracking technologies. Their policies and controls apply on their websites.
Clear or block browser storage
Most browsers let you inspect, clear, or block cookies and site storage. Blocking all storage may affect search progress and other site features. You can also close the browser tab or session to clear session-storage entries, subject to your browser's behavior.
Where applicable law requires consent for a technology that is not strictly necessary, VocaStay will request that consent before using it. We will update this policy and provide appropriate controls before adding third-party advertising or cross-site behavioral tracking technologies.
