Cookie settings
Which cookies we use, why we use them, and how to change your settings at any time
In short
Cookies are small files stored in your browser. We use them so the site works at all: to keep you signed in, to stop your booking disappearing halfway through, and to remember the language and currency you picked. Beyond that, some cookies help us understand how the site is used and show relevant advertising, and those run only if you agreed to them. You can change your mind at any time from "Cookie settings" on the site.
What cookies are and why they exist
A cookie is a small text file a website stores in your browser. Next time you visit, the site reads that file and "remembers" things: that you are signed in, for example, or that you chose Hebrew.
Some of what we store actually lives in your browser's Local Storage, or in its Session Storage, which your browser clears when you close the tab, rather than in a classic cookie. For your privacy it makes no difference, so this document treats these technologies together.
This document expands on the cookies section of our privacy policy. If the two ever conflict, the privacy policy takes precedence.

The cookie categories we use
Termly's preference center shows the categories relevant to the latest cookie scan. Only essential cookies run without consent; optional categories run only according to your choices.
| Category | What it does | Consent needed? |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | Lets the site function at all: signing in, holding your booking, security | No. Without these the site cannot work |
| Analytics | Helps us understand how people use the site and how to improve it | Yes |
| Performance | Helps measure performance and improve site speed | Yes |
| Advertising | Lets us show relevant advertising and measure campaigns | Yes |
| Social networking | Enables features and content from social platforms | Yes |
| Unclassified | Cookies that are still being reviewed and classified in the latest scan | Yes |
Our default is that all optional categories are off. They switch on only after you actively accept them.
Essential cookies: the full list
These always run, because without them the site simply does not work. They are never used for advertising and are never sold.
| Name | What it is for | How long |
|---|---|---|
| travelmaker_token | Keeps you signed in to your account | Until you sign out |
| travelmaker_user | Details of the signed-in account, for display | Until you sign out |
| travelmaker_guest_session | Holds a booking made without an account | Until the booking completes |
| tm_travel_guest | Holds your session with our AI travel assistant and with your lists. For a visitor without an account, it counts the messages left and links the lists they save to this browser. It does not hold the conversation or the lists themselves | 30 days from when it is first set |
| tm-selected-list-v1 | Remembers which of your lists you chose last, so that "Save to list" offers it first | Until you close the tab |
| tm-list-undo-v1 | Lets you undo your last change to a list | Until you close the tab, and at most 24 hours |
| tm-trip-v1 | Remembers which of your lists holds your trip, and how many of its experiences are booked | 30 days |
| myt-ai-chat-prefs | The conversations with our AI travel assistant that you pinned, and the names you gave them, on this device only | Until you sign out |
| travelmaker-booking-requests (IndexedDB) | Stops the same booking from being created twice if the page reloads while you book | Until you clear your browser data |
| travelmaker_language | The language you chose (also kept in Local Storage) | 365 days |
| tm_country | The destination you chose, or the first one we show (also kept in Local Storage as travelmaker_country) | 365 days |
| tm_currency | The currency you chose (also kept in Local Storage) | 365 days |
| tm_last_browse_route | Returns you to the page you were on | Current session |
| myt-search-attention | Draws your attention to the search box right after you choose to search | A few seconds |
| tm_staff_browser | Marks the browser of a member of our team, so that their visits are left out of our statistics | Until browser data is cleared |
| Termly consent cookies | Stores your consent choices | As shown in Termly's preference center |
Termly stores the preference in your browser and processes a consent record so the preference center can operate. If you clear your browser data, we will ask you again.
If you scan the QR code of a partner venue, this is also stored, without consent, so that the venue can be paid for a booking it sent us (privacy policy, section 2):
| Name | What it is for | How long |
|---|---|---|
| myt_venue_token or myt_venue_ref | Which partner venue sent you, so that it can be credited if you book | 90 days |
In the host area and the partner venue area, these are also used:
| Name | What it is for | How long |
|---|---|---|
| myt-host-listing-draft, myt-host-transfer-draft | Keep the listing you are writing, so that it is not lost | Until you publish it or clear it |
| myt-host-services-nudge | Remembers when we last reminded you to add a service | 7 days |
| myt_onboarding_token | Keeps you signed in while you join as a host | Until you sign out |
| myt-venue-partner | Keeps your partner application on this device while you fill it in | Until you clear your browser data |
Analytics and measurement
If you accepted analytics, we use the following tools to understand what works on the site and what does not:
- Google Analytics 4: how many people visited, which pages they viewed, where they came from (including links we share in our community group), and how they used our AI travel assistant, lists and trips (for example, that they asked the assistant a question, rated an answer, or saved or shared a trip), never what was written in a conversation or saved in a list. To link a visit to the assistant, a mark (tm_ai_assisted) stays in your browser until you close the tab, and marks whose names start with tm_ga4_ stop the same event from being counted twice.
- Contentsquare: analyses how people scroll and click, including session recording, and how far they get in each step of a booking.
Measurement scripts load only after Termly confirms consent for the analytics category.
Marketing and advertising
If you accepted the advertising category, we use the Meta Pixel (Facebook and Instagram) to measure which ads led to bookings and to show you more relevant advertising. Marks whose names start with tm_meta_ stop the same booking from being counted twice.
We do not sell your data and we do not pass it to advertisers unconnected to us.
Third-party services
Some services we rely on set their own cookies, including ones unrelated to advertising:
- Stripe: processes payments and detects fraudulent transactions. Required to complete a paid booking.
- Google Sign-In: provides the option to sign in with Google when you choose to use it.
- Google Maps: displays maps on service pages and suggests addresses as you type them in the transfer form, and loads only after performance consent.
- Termly: provides the consent banner, cookie scan and preference center.
- Top Rent A Car, Skyscanner: our car rental search and our flight links take you to their websites, which set their own cookies there, under their own policies.
Each of these has its own privacy policy, and we do not control the cookies it sets.
