Cookie Policy

Last Updated: March 22, 2026

Privacy Preferences

You are in control. You can update your optional cookie settings at any time.

At Kinglayang Homestay, your digital privacy is treated with the same respect and care as your physical stay. This policy explains our transparent approach to cookies and tracking technologies, fully complying with the European GDPR and the Indian DPDP Act.


1. What is a Cookie?

A cookie is a small text file stored on your browser or device when you visit a website. It allows the website to "remember" your actions or preferences over time. For instance, cookies allow our booking system to remember the dates you selected so you don't have to re-enter them as you browse different rooms.

2. Our Privacy-First Approach

We believe in minimizing data collection. Unlike many hospitality websites, we do not use cookies for our base website analytics. We utilize a privacy-first, cookieless analytics platform (Matomo) that gathers anonymized, aggregated data to help us improve our site performance without tracking you individually across the web.

3. How We Use Cookies

We classify our cookies and tracking technologies into two clear categories:

Category Status Purpose
Strictly Necessary
System & Security
Always Active These cookies are essential for the website to function securely. They protect against cross-site forgery (CSRF), manage your login sessions, and maintain your booking details as you navigate the site. They do not store personal advertising data.
Marketing / Meta Pixel
Advertising
Optional These third-party cookies (provided by Meta/Facebook) are used to understand the effectiveness of our advertising and to show you relevant Kinglayang Homestay promotions on social media platforms. These will never load unless you explicitly click "Accept" on our privacy banner.

4. Your Rights & Data Control

Depending on your location (such as under the GDPR in Europe), you hold specific rights regarding your digital data:

  • Right to Withdraw Consent: You can revoke your permission for Marketing cookies at any time using the "Update Settings" button at the top of this page.
  • Right to Erasure: You may request the deletion of your personal data, provided it is not required for legal or tax compliance related to a booking.
  • Browser Controls: You can also configure your web browser to block or delete all cookies automatically.
