2. How to manage cookies on TravelNess

TravelNess uses a consent management mechanism that allows you to:

• accept all categories,
• reject optional cookies,
• choose consent separately for each category,

• change your decision at any time through the Cookie Settings link.

  You may also restrict cookies in your browser settings. Please note that disabling necessary or technical cookies may affect the correct operation of the website or some of its features.

3. Cookie categories used on the website

3.1. Necessary

These cookies are required for the website to operate and for core security functions. They do not require separate consent because the site cannot work properly without them.

They may include, for example:

• storing your cookie consent decision,
• maintaining a basic technical session,
• protecting forms and website operations,
• core WordPress functions,
• technical integrations needed to display essential content.

3.2. Functional

These cookies help remember your settings and enable additional features that are not strictly required to open the website but improve usability.

They may include, for example:

• remembering your preferences,
• enhanced interface functions,
• tools supporting the presentation of content or forms,
• integrations related to browsing convenience or the booking journey.

3.3. Analytics

These cookies help measure traffic, understand how the site is used, and improve its effectiveness.

They may include, for example:

• visit and pageview statistics,
• user path analysis,
• measurement of content and traffic-source performance,

• performance and error data.

  Analytics cookies are activated only if you give consent.

3.4. Marketing

These cookies may be used for advertising campaigns, remarketing, and advertising performance measurement.

They may include, for example:

• campaign performance measurement,
• remarketing,
• audience creation,

• limiting how often the same ad is shown.

  Marketing cookies are activated only if you give consent.

4. Tools that may use cookies or similar technologies

Depending on active website configuration and your consent choices, the website may use tools or integrations such as:

• WordPress and technical website components,
• the custom consent manager TravelNess Cookie Consent,
• booking-related integrations connected with the transition to Beds24,
• analytics tools such as Google Analytics 4 where activated,
• marketing tools such as Meta Pixel or similar where activated,

• contact and communication tools where embedded on the website and requiring consent.

  The tools actually active at any given time depend on the current website configuration. If a specific integration is not active, the related cookies are not used.

5. Example cookies and technologies

The table above is informative and may be updated when website configuration, active integrations, or the implementation of tools changes.

6. How the consent mechanism works

On the TravelNess website:

• the cookie banner appears on the first visit or after a previous decision expires,
• the user can accept all cookies, reject optional cookies, or open detailed settings,
• the necessary category always remains active,
• analytics, marketing, and functional categories may be activated only according to the user’s decision,
• the decision is stored technically so the website can read it both on the frontend and on the backend.

7. Changing your decision and withdrawing consent

You can change your decision at any time:

• through the Cookie Settings link in the footer,
• by reopening the cookie preferences panel,

• by deleting stored cookies in your browser, which may cause the banner to appear again.

  Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of actions carried out before the withdrawal.

8. Third-party cookies

If analytics tools, marketing tools, embedded communicators, or other third-party components are active on the website, their providers may use their own cookies or similar technologies according to their own privacy and cookie policies.

In such cases, you should also review the policies of those providers, especially:

• Google,
• Meta,
• Stripe where certain payment-related components would be embedded on the website,
• providers of chat or contact widgets,
• providers of booking or analytics technologies.

9. Whether cookies relate to personal data

Some cookies and related identifiers may constitute personal data or be linked to personal data. The rules for processing such data are described in the TravelNess Privacy Policy.

10. Changes to the cookies policy

This policy may be updated if we change:

• how the website works,
• the configuration of analytics or marketing tools,
• the consent mechanism,
• the scope of integrations used,

• legal or organisational requirements.

  The current version of the policy is always published on travelness.net.
