This page explains the cookies and similar technologies used on this website when you look at rooms and make a booking with Macdonald Hotel.
We only use what the booking process needs — there is nothing here to track you.
Strictly necessary cookies
These cannot be switched off, because the site cannot take a booking without them. They are not used to track you and carry no advertising.
| Cookie | Set by | Purpose | Expires |
|---|---|---|---|
__stripe_mid |
Stripe | Fraud prevention on the payment step. Set only when you reach payment. | 1 year |
__stripe_sid |
Stripe | Fraud prevention within a single payment session. | 30 minutes |
Card details are entered directly into Stripe's own secure form. They never reach this website or the hotel, so no cookie here holds any part of your card number.
Similar technologies we use instead of cookies
Your booking in progress — the dates, room, rate and any extras you have chosen — is kept in your browser's session storage rather than in a cookie, under booking-draft and booking-confirmation. It is never sent to a third party and it is deleted when you close the tab. This is what lets you go back a step without losing your choices.
Analytics cookies — we do not use any
This site has no analytics or tracking cookies. No Google Analytics, no advertising pixels, no third-party tracking of any kind. Because there is nothing to consent to, you will not see a cookie banner.
If that ever changes, this page will be updated first and you will be asked to consent before any analytics cookie is set.
