Overview
Seatly uses a minimal number of cookies. We do not use analytics cookies, advertising cookies, tracking cookies, or social media cookies. The only cookie set when you interact with a Seatly-powered booking form is a strictly necessary security cookie placed by Cloudflare Turnstile to protect the form against automated spam and abuse.
Because we only use strictly necessary cookies, no cookie consent banner is required.
Cookies We Use
| Cookie | Set By | Purpose | Type | Duration | Consent Required? |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
cf_clearance (or equivalent Turnstile token) | Cloudflare Turnstile | Anti-spam and bot detection on the booking form. Verifies that a form submission originates from a human user rather than an automated script. | Strictly necessary | Session or up to 30 minutes | No — exempt under PECR Regulation 6(4) |
Why No Consent Banner Is Required
The Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR), Regulation 6(4), provides an exemption from the requirement to obtain prior consent for cookies that are:
- used solely for the purpose of carrying out or facilitating the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network; or
- strictly necessary to provide an information society service explicitly requested by the user.
The Cloudflare Turnstile cookie falls within this exemption. It is strictly necessary to protect the booking form from automated abuse and to allow a genuine user to complete a booking request. Without it, the form could not function reliably or securely. No consent pop-up or cookie banner is displayed, in accordance with the ICO’s guidance on strictly necessary cookies.
No Third-Party Analytics, Advertising, or Social Media Scripts
Seatly does not load any of the following on its booking or admin widgets:
- Analytics platforms (e.g. Google Analytics, Mixpanel, Hotjar)
- Advertising networks or pixel trackers (e.g. Meta Pixel, Google Ads tags)
- Social media scripts (e.g. X/Twitter, LinkedIn, TikTok)
- A/B testing or personalisation tools
- Session recording tools
No data about your browsing behaviour is collected or shared with any third party for marketing or profiling purposes.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The version number and “Last Updated” date at the top of this page will reflect any changes. As we currently use only strictly necessary cookies, substantive changes are unlikely without a corresponding change to the features of the product.
