What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files a website stores on your device. Websites also use similar browser storage (local storage, IndexedDB). This policy covers both.
Our short answer
We only use what is needed to run the service: keeping you signed in, remembering your language and letting the hotel app work offline. We do not use advertising cookies, cross-site tracking, analytics platforms such as Google Analytics, or social media pixels. Because of this we do not ask you to accept optional cookies; we show a short notice instead.

App data (essential)
- Keys:
lodge-manager-store(local storage) and an offline database (IndexedDB) - Where: jhotels.somict.com/app

Third-party content
Our pages load fonts from Google Fonts and icons from Cloudflare's CDN. These providers receive your IP address when the files are downloaded but do not set cookies through our pages.
How to control cookies
You can view, block or delete cookies in your browser settings: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge.
If you block the session cookie you will not be able to sign in to the hotel dashboard. Clearing app data on a device removes any offline changes that have not synced yet.
Changes to this policy
If we change what we store, we will update this page and the date above.
