Cookie Policy
Last updated: 28 October 2026
In order to ensure the usability of our website courtly.me (hereinafter the “Website”) and to personalise your visits, we place small data files on your device, called cookies. This is a common practice of almost all websites. This policy provides you with detailed information about the cookies we use and how you can manage them. It complements our Privacy Policy.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files saved by your browser on your electronic device. They allow the identification of the device used for browsing and ensure the proper functionality of the Website according to your individual preferences. Cookies typically contain the website name, the storage time and a unique number. We also use the browser's local storage for the same purposes; in this policy, “cookies” means both.
2. How do we use cookies?
We use cookies to make the Website work, to remember your preferences, for statistics on how the Website is used (to improve its structure, design and content) and to measure the performance of advertising.
Necessary cookies are stored without your consent, as the Website cannot work without them. All others are stored only after you allow them in the banner or in the cookie settings. Until then the Website works fully, but nothing from those categories is stored or sent.

- Meta (Facebook, Instagram) – privacy policy
- Microsoft Clarity – privacy policy
- PostHog – privacy policy
We do not have access to or control over cookies used and provided by third parties. This policy does not apply to the way a third party collects and processes such information. We recommend reading their policies carefully.
5. How do you manage and/or delete cookies?
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time from “Cookie settings” at the bottom of every page or with the button below. When you withdraw consent, we delete the cookies of that category that we can reach and they are no longer stored.
Most web browsers also allow cookies to be controlled through the browser settings, usually in the Options, Settings or Preferences menus. You can delete all the cookies already stored on your device and set up most browsers to block cookies completely. Keep in mind that if you block necessary cookies, signing in, booking and other features of the Website may not work properly.
6. How long do we store your data?
Each cookie is kept for the period shown in the tables above, unless you delete it earlier. Your cookie choice is kept for 12 months, after which we ask again. Ad views and clicks recorded with the visitor identifier are kept for up to 14 months. Personal data collected through cookies is processed as described in our Privacy Policy.
7. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The updated version is published on this page with the date of the last update. When a change affects the cookies we use, we will ask for your consent again.
