Cookie Policy
Hostfield sets no tracking or advertising cookies, so there is nothing to accept and no banner to click through. Here is everything the site does store in your browser.
Only what a feature needs
Each item below is set only when you use the feature it belongs to, is read only by Hostfield, and is never shared with anyone else. Browsing, searching, and calling a pro set nothing at all.
Page views are counted with Vercel Web Analytics, which uses no cookies and does not identify you. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track signal, we do not load it.
Turning them off
You can clear or block any of these in your browser's settings. The site keeps working; the only cost is that your saved crew disappears, and a recommendation you file afterwards counts as coming from a new browser.
If we ever add a cookie that tracks you, for advertising or across other sites, we will ask for your permission first and update this page.
What the site stores
| Name | Type | When | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| __Host-hostfield_host | Cookie, 2 years | Set when you recommend a pro. | A random identifier that stops one browser recommending the same pro twice. |
| __Host-hostfield_pro | Cookie, 1 year | Set when you open a listing's private edit link. | A one-way fingerprint of that link, so the owner's browser cannot recommend their own listing. |
| __Host-hostfield_session | Cookie, 30 days | Set when you sign in to a host account. | Keeps you signed in. It holds a random token and nothing about you. |
| hostfield_lang | Cookie, 1 year | Set when a cleaner switches a turnover page between English and Spanish. | Remembers the language choice, and nothing else. |
| hostfield.clean.<link>.checklist | Browser storage | Set when a cleaner checks off a task on a turnover page. | Keeps the checks on the phone until they reach Hostfield, so a dead zone loses nothing. |
| hostfield.stay.<rental>.pin | Browser storage | Set when a guest enters the PIN on a guest guide. | Remembers the PIN on that phone so the guest is not asked again. Cleared if the host changes the PIN. |
| hostfield.crew.v1 | Browser storage | Set when you save a pro to your crew. | Your saved pros. Stays in your browser and is never sent to us. |
| hostfield.crew.notes.v1 | Browser storage | Set when you write a note on your crew sheet. | Your private notes. Stays in your browser and is never sent to us. |
Staff who sign in to the back office also get a session cookie. It is never set for visitors.
