1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They can help a site keep forms secure and remember session state. Similar technologies include server-side session identifiers used to protect our inquiry forms.
This public website does not use cookies for advertising, visitor analytics, or sale of browsing data. We do not run Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, or similar tracking tools on the guest-facing site.
2. How we use cookies
Bakerm Hotel uses a limited set of cookies and third-party resources:
- Essential / security: A PHP session cookie is set when you load any page on this site (to obtain a CSRF token that protects inquiry and newsletter forms from abuse). This is required even before you submit a form.
- Third-party content: Pages load fonts (Google Fonts), icons and animations (unpkg.com: Lucide and AOS), demo imagery (Unsplash), and on the home page an interactive map (Leaflet with OpenStreetMap tiles). Those providers may set their own cookies or collect usage data under their policies.
We do not use this public website for advertising retargeting or sale of browsing data. We do not operate guest login accounts or online payment checkout that stores card data in your browser.
