What are cookies?
Cookies are small files saved in your browser when you visit a site. For similar purposes we also use the browser's local storage (localStorage).
Strictly necessary cookies (no consent needed)
sm_sid: visitor session, so held times and bot protection work (180 days, stored as a hash). sm_pv, sm_pv_mb, sm_pv_acc: short-lived proof of phone verification. sm_member: member sign-in (90 days). sm_biz: business panel sign-in (until the browser closes, or 30 days with "remember me"). sm_admin: admin sign-in. sm_gbp, sm_gbp_state: a business's Google Business Profile connection (15 minutes). sm-cookie-consent (local storage): your cookie choice. Google reCAPTCHA, used on booking and sign-in forms, may set its own cookies for bot protection.
Analytics cookies (only with your consent)
Google Analytics cookies (_ga, _ga_<id>) help us understand how many people use the site, from which pages and how; kept for up to 2 years. They load only if you choose "Accept" in the cookie notice. We use no advertising cookies and do not share data with Google for ad personalization.
Third-party content
Maps load from OpenStreetMap. A business's Instagram, TikTok or YouTube posts load only when you click them; that platform's cookie policy then applies.
Managing your choice
Change your choice at any time with "Cookie preferences" at the bottom of every page. You can delete or block cookies in your browser settings; if you block necessary cookies, booking and sign-in may not work.
