1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how Hoodbnb B.V., trading as 'Tribii' (hereafter 'Tribii'), uses cookies on our platform. Tribii is a European SaaS platform for independent hotels. We use only strictly essential cookies on our own domain: no Google Analytics, marketing cookies, or advertising tracking. Because we do not use analytics or marketing cookies, no cookie consent banner is required under the ePrivacy Directive.
This policy is a transparency document explaining our cookie practices and how you can manage cookies through your browser.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Each cookie is linked to a domain and expires after a set time. Cookies help websites recognize users and remember preferences.
Tribii uses only cookies essential for platform functionality. We do not use cookies for tracking behavior, analytics, or advertising.
3. Essential Cookies Used by Tribii
Tribii uses the following strictly essential cookies:
- Session ID: Maintains your login session. Expires when your browser closes.
- Authentication Token: Secures your account. Valid for 30 days.
- CSRF Token: Protects against cross-site request forgery attacks. Expires per session.
- Language Preference: Remembers your chosen language. Valid for 12 months.
- Load Balancing: Routes your requests to the best server. Expires per session.
These cookies are strictly necessary for authentication, security, and platform functionality. They do not track your behavior or preferences beyond what is needed to keep you logged in.
Under the ePrivacy Directive (Directive 2002/58/EC), strictly essential cookies do not require user consent because they are necessary for the service you requested.
4. What Tribii Does Not Set
Tribii does not set any analytics cookies, marketing or advertising cookies, or tracking cookies of its own. Tribii does not currently use Google Analytics. If Tribii adopts analytics in the future, it will use cookieless or privacy-preserving tooling. Because Tribii does not set non-essential cookies of its own, no Tribii-controlled cookie consent banner is displayed.
This "no cookie banner" position concerns cookies only. It does not cover non-cookie data that the booking widget transmits to Tribii servers (for example, the booking-form details captured for abandonment recovery). That processing is governed by our Privacy Policy, not by cookie law.
5. Third-Party Cookies Set by Embedded Providers
Two third parties whose services are essential to operating the Tribii platform may set first-party cookies on their own domains when their iframes load within Tribii or on a hotel's booking page:
- Stripe (payments). Stripe sets cookies on stripe.com and m.stripe.com domains for fraud detection and session management when the Stripe Checkout or Elements iframe loads. These cookies are visible in your browser's developer tools but are controlled by Stripe under Stripe's own privacy policy, not by Tribii. Blocking these cookies will prevent payments from being processed.
- Google Maps. When a property page or booking page loads an embedded Google Map, Google may set cookies on google.com / gstatic.com domains for map rendering, abuse prevention, and language preferences. These cookies are controlled by Google under Google's own privacy policy. Blocking them may prevent the map from loading.
Tribii does not have access to these cookies and cannot delete them on your behalf. Manage them through your browser settings or directly with the relevant provider.
In addition to session cookies, the widget transmits booking-form data to Tribii servers in real time. For details on how Tribii handles this data, including for abandonment recovery, see the Privacy Policy.
6. Embedded Booking Widget
Tribii provides hotels with an embedded booking widget for their own websites. This widget may set essential cookies on the hotel's domain to maintain session state and enable bookings. These are first-party cookies on the hotel's domain, not Tribii's domain.
Hotels are responsible for informing guests about cookies set on the hotel's own domain in compliance with local cookie and ePrivacy laws. To assist, Tribii provides a suggested cookie-notice paragraph that hotels may include in their own cookie policies; this is available from Tribii's documentation portal.
The widget does not set analytics, marketing, or advertising cookies. Only session cookies essential for booking functionality.
7. Managing Cookies Through Your Browser
You can control cookies via your browser settings. All modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) allow you to:
- View and delete cookies
- Block cookies for specific domains
- Disable all cookies
Consult your browser's help documentation for step-by-step instructions.
Important: If you disable essential cookies (session ID, authentication token), you will not be able to log in or use Tribii. Tribii requires these cookies to function.
8. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers support "Do Not Track" (DNT) signals. Since Tribii uses only essential cookies and no analytics or advertising cookies, DNT signals do not affect our platform. Essential cookies are always set because they are required for security and account management.
9. Updates to This Policy
Tribii may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Significant changes will be announced via email or through a prominent notice on our platform. The 'Last updated' date at the bottom indicates when this policy was last revised. Your continued use of Tribii after updates constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
