We currently use no third-party advertising or marketing cookies. Stripe payment iframes set their own cookies on js.stripe.com when you reach checkout — these are required for payment processing.
If you sign in via Apple or Google, those providers may set cookies on their own domains as part of authentication; those are governed by Apple’s and Google’s privacy policies.
?clear-cookies=1 appended (development feature)Some of our cookies (theme, session) are set on the parent domain .bookora.co.uk so the choice carries across our subdomains (login.bookora.co.uk, signup.bookora.co.uk, business subdomains). The same privacy and security standards apply.
If we add new cookies (e.g. an analytics provider in the future), we will update this list and notify users via the cookie banner.
