01 Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how the GUESTHOUSE BUTLER website (the "Website") uses cookies and similar local storage technologies. By using our Website, you acknowledge the practices described in this policy.
Our approach to cookies is intentionally minimal. We believe that respecting your privacy is more valuable than any insight we might gain from tracking your behaviour.
In short: The only thing our website remembers about you is which language you prefer. We do not use any tracking, advertising, or analytics cookies whatsoever.
02 What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device to remember information between visits. The term "cookies" in this policy also refers to similar technologies such as localStorage, which is a modern browser feature that works in the same way for the purposes of privacy law.
03 What We Use
Our Website uses one piece of local browser storage:
- Language preference — When you select a language using the language switcher (for example, English, Bulgarian, or any of the other supported languages), we store your choice in your browser's localStorage so that the next time you visit, the website automatically loads in your preferred language.
This is a strictly necessary functional cookie. Under the GDPR and the EU ePrivacy Directive, no consent is required for cookies of this type because they are essential for the basic functionality you have explicitly requested.
04 What We Do NOT Use
To be completely transparent, our Website does not use any of the following:
- Analytics cookies — We do not use Google Analytics, Plausible, Matomo, Fathom, or any similar service.
- Advertising cookies — We do not run advertising of any kind.
- Social media cookies — We do not embed Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or other social media tracking pixels.
- Marketing cookies — We do not track visitors for retargeting or remarketing purposes.
- Performance/profiling cookies — We do not record sessions, heatmaps, or user behaviour.
- Third-party cookies — No external service writes cookies on our domain.
05 Third-Party Services
Our Website loads fonts from Google Fonts (fonts.google.com) for typography purposes. According to Google's documentation, the Google Fonts API does not set cookies. However, your IP address may be logged temporarily by Google's servers when fonts are requested, which is standard for any web request.
If you prefer to avoid this, you can use browser extensions that block external font loading, or browse with privacy-focused browsers such as Brave or Tor.
06 How to Control or Delete Local Storage
You have full control over the data stored in your browser. To delete the language preference (or any other data), you can:
- Clear your browser data — Use your browser's settings to clear cookies and site data for our domain.
- Use private/incognito mode — Browsing in a private window prevents any data from being stored on your device.
- Use developer tools — Open your browser's developer console (F12) → Application → Local Storage, and delete the entry for our domain.
Disabling localStorage or clearing the language preference will not break the Website. The next time you visit, the Website will simply use your browser's default language.
07 Mobile Application
This Cookie Policy applies only to the GUESTHOUSE BUTLER website. The mobile application stores data exclusively on your device using a local SQLite database, and does not use cookies or send data to any server. For information about the mobile application, please see our Privacy Policy.
08 Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when changes were last made. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
