1. What are cookies?
Cookies and similar technologies (e.g., pixels and tags) are small files or code placed on your device when you visit a website. They help a site function, remember preferences, and support analytics and marketing depending on your choices.
2. How we use cookies
We use cookies on hospitalitysocialsummit.com and hoss.events to:
- run the website securely and reliably;
- remember your preferences (including cookie choices);
- understand how visitors use our site (analytics);
- measure marketing performance (advertising/attribution), where enabled.
3. Categories of cookies we use
Our cookie banner (Cookiebot) groups cookies into the following categories:
These are required for the website and consent management to work.
Typical examples:
These support preference features. If you enable Cross-domain Consent Sharing in Cookiebot, Cookiebot uses a “bulk setting” entry (shown as CookieConsentBulkSetting-#) to help apply consent across domains in the same Cookiebot Domain Group.
expiry setting
We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) via Google Tag Manager to understand site usage (e.g., pages viewed, time on site, referral sources) and improve the site. GA4 commonly uses first-party cookies such as _ga and _ga_<container-id>.
Typical example (when cross-domain sharing is enabled):
We use:
Meta Pixel (for advertising measurement/attribution and audience building)
LinkedIn Insight Tag (for conversion tracking/measurement and audience features)
Typical examples:
(commonly months)
bscookie, lidc,
AnalyticsSyncHistory, UserMatchHistory,
li_fat_id, etc.
cookie table
4. Cookie declaration (full, automatically updated list)
Cookiebot can display a Cookie Declaration (an automatically updated list of cookies detected on your site). You can embed it on this page (or a separate page) using the Cookie Declaration script from Cookiebot (“Your scripts”).
5. Managing your cookie preferences
When you first visit our website, you will see a Cookiebot consent banner where you can accept, reject, or customise optional cookies. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time using the cookie settings link/trigger on the site (or by clearing cookies in your browser).
Browser controls are also available in Chrome/Safari/Firefox/Edge. Blocking some cookies may affect functionality.
6. Two domains
(hospitalitysocialsummit.com and hoss.events)
If Cross-domain Consent Sharing is enabled in Cookiebot for a domain group that includes both domains, your consent can apply across those domains (subject to browser restrictions and your chosen settings). Cookiebot explains how this works and what users will see in the banner.
7. Updates to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
