Cookie Policy
Last updated: April 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how TinyBell uses cookies and similar technologies on our platform and how our widgets interact with your hotel website visitors' browsers.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored in a user's browser when they visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember preferences, and provide analytics information to site owners.
2. Cookies We Use on thetinybell.com
When you use the TinyBell dashboard at thetinybell.com, we use the following cookies:
| Cookie | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
session | Strictly necessary | Keeps you logged into your TinyBell account | Session (expires on logout) |
set_language | Functional | Remembers your preferred dashboard language | 90 days |
set_currency | Functional | Remembers your preferred currency display | 90 days |
theme_style | Functional | Remembers your light/dark mode preference | 90 days |
cookie_consent | Functional | Stores your cookie consent preference | 365 days |
__cf_bm | Strictly necessary | Cloudflare bot management token | 30 minutes |
_cfuvid | Strictly necessary | Cloudflare rate limiting identifier | Session |
Cloudflare, our CDN and security provider, may set strictly necessary cookies for bot management and DDoS protection. These cookies do not track users across websites and are exempt from consent requirements under ePrivacy guidelines.
We do not use advertising cookies, cross-site tracking cookies, or third-party analytics cookies (such as Google Analytics) on thetinybell.com.
3. Our Widget Pixel and Your Hotel Website Visitors
When you install the TinyBell pixel on your hotel website, it displays conversion widgets to your visitors. Here is exactly what happens:
- No cookies are set on your hotel website visitors' browsers by TinyBell widgets.
- Variant assignment for A/B testing is performed server-side, using an anonymised hash derived from the visitor's IP address and browser user-agent. This hash is never stored in a cookie or in a form that identifies the individual.
- Impression and click events are sent to our servers at thetinybell.com and recorded against the anonymised hash, not against any personally identifiable information.
- The pixel loads JavaScript from thetinybell.com. This constitutes a network request that technically transmits the visitor's IP address to our servers, as is standard for any website resource. We process this solely for analytics and security purposes and do not use it to build individual profiles.
Because TinyBell widgets do not set cookies on your hotel website, you do not need to add TinyBell to your hotel website's cookie consent tool. However, you should still mention TinyBell in your hotel website's privacy policy as a third-party analytics and conversion tool.
4. Strictly Necessary Cookies
Strictly necessary cookies are essential for the TinyBell dashboard to function. They do not require consent. You cannot opt out of strictly necessary cookies while using the service.
5. Managing Cookies
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling functional cookies (such as the session cookie) will prevent you from logging into TinyBell. Below are links to cookie management instructions for common browsers:
6. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when we introduce new features or change how we process data. We will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, for material changes, notify registered users by email.
