Cookies are small files a website stores in your browser. Island Stay uses only its own cookies: no advertising cookies and no third-party trackers.
Essential cookies (always on)
| Name | Purpose | Lasts |
|---|---|---|
| csrftoken | Protects forms, such as the request form, against forgery. | 1 year |
| sessionid | Keeps you signed in, and shows you the request you just sent. | 2 weeks |
| is_consent | Remembers your cookie choice. | 6 months |
Analytics cookies (only if you choose “Accept all”)
| Name | Purpose | Lasts |
|---|---|---|
| is_vid | A random ID that lets us recognise a returning browser, so we can see which pages and islands people visit, what they search for and click, and where they leave. It doesn't contain your name or contact details. | 13 months |
| is_sid (browser storage) | Groups the pages you view in one visit; a new visit starts after 30 minutes without activity. | Until cleared |
If you choose “Essential only”, we count page views anonymously, without any ID.
