The hotelmeridian.pl website uses cookies and similar technologies (localStorage, pixels). Some are necessary for the site to work, others collect anonymous analytics data or are used for advertising personalisation. You decide which categories to enable in the cookie banner.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files saved by your browser on your device when you visit websites. They allow the site to remember your preferences, keep your session, gather statistics, or measure ad effectiveness.
Some cookies are set directly by our site ("first-party") and others by external providers we use ("third-party") — e.g. Google, Meta, Cloudflare.
2. Cookie categories and your consent
We use four consent categories aligned with Google Consent Mode v2:
- Necessary (functionality_storage, security_storage) — always active. Without them the site does not work properly. No consent required.
- Analytics (analytics_storage) — help us measure traffic and improve the site. Require your consent.
- Marketing / advertising (ad_storage, ad_user_data, ad_personalization) — allow tailored ads. Require your consent.
- Personalisation (personalization_storage) — allows content personalisation. Requires your consent.
On your first visit you will see a cookie banner where you can accept all cookies, only the necessary ones, or choose by category. You can change your decision at any time — click "Cookie settings" in the footer.
3. List of cookies used on the site
The table below lists cookies in detail. The list may be updated as analytics and marketing tools change.
4. Managing cookies in your browser
Regardless of the banner, you can delete or block cookies in your browser settings at any time. Note that fully blocking cookies — including the necessary ones — may cause incorrect functioning of the site or banner.
