# Cookie policy

> The necessary storage this site uses, the analytics and marketing cookies that run only after you accept them, and how to change your choice at any time.

Cookies are small files a website saves in your browser. Local storage does the same job and is covered here too. This page lists what this site stores, why, and how to change your choice. Read it with the [privacy policy](https://homio-astro.pages.dev/privacy-policy/).

## What this site uses

We group cookies and storage into three categories, the same ones you see in the cookie banner.

- **Necessary (always on):** keeps the site working. It remembers your light or dark choice, your cookie choice, and, where the site uses them, a closed announcement and a booking request you have not sent yet. Your language is part of the page address, so it needs no cookie. None of this is used to track you.
- **Analytics (off until you accept):** counts visits and finds slow or broken pages, so we can fix them. We do not build a profile of you.
- **Marketing (off until you accept):** shows whether an ad led to a booking request.

Analytics and marketing tags do not load at all until you accept their category.

## How to change your choice

You can change your choice at any time:

- open the [cookie settings](#cookie-settings) (the same link is in the footer) and switch each category on or off
- delete cookies and site data in your browser settings; the banner then asks you again

If you reject a category, its cookies are no longer set. Cookies already saved by a third-party tool expire on their own schedule, or you can delete them in your browser.

## Cookies and storage in detail

The first three rows are what this site stores by default. The analytics and marketing rows are examples: replace them with the tools you add.
