Cookie Policy.

Last updated: 5 August 2026

This is a draft prepared by MSM Rentals and has not been reviewed by a lawyer. It states what is true of this website today and marks, in plain sight, every fact still to be confirmed. It must be reviewed and completed before it is relied upon commercially.

What this page is

A complete list of what this website stores on your device and what it loads from anyone else. It is not written by hand: it is generated from the same register the website uses to decide what may run, so a technology cannot appear on the site without appearing here.

“Cookies” is used loosely here, as everyone uses it. Where the site actually uses browser storage rather than a cookie, the list says so.

Your choice, and how to change it

On your first visit you are asked once. Accepting and rejecting are equally easy, nothing optional is pre-selected, and until you choose, nothing optional runs — no cookie, no storage, no script, no request to anyone else.

You can change or withdraw your choice at any time from “Cookie settings” at the bottom of every page. Your choice is stored on your own device and is never sent to us, which also means clearing your browser storage will make the site ask again.

We ask again only if we introduce something genuinely new. Rewriting this page, changing the design, or removing a technology will not re-ask you.

The four categories

Strictly necessary — needed for the site to work at all. Cannot be switched off, and never used for tracking.
Preferences — remembers convenience choices and loads optional features you have asked for.
Analytics — would count visits. Nothing of the kind is active on this website.
Marketing — advertising and audience tracking. We use none of it.

These four never change. A future technology joins one of them; the categories do not multiply, and an empty one says it is empty rather than quietly looking full.

Everything this website uses

Strictly necessary

Cookie preferences

Remembers the cookie choices you made, so you are not asked again on every page. It is stored on your device and never sent to us.

Provider

MSM Rentals · first-party

What it stores

msm.consent — localStorage · Until you change your choices or clear your browser storage

Guest Companion session

Keeps a guest signed in to their own stay after they open their personal Companion link. Set only on the Companion, never while browsing the website.

Provider

MSM Rentals · first-party

What it stores

msm_stay_pending — cookie (/companion) · Until you close the browser tab
msm_stay — cookie (/companion) · Until you close the browser tab

Guest Companion language

Remembers the language a guest explicitly chose in their Companion, so their stay information stays in that language. Written only when a guest makes that choice.

Provider

MSM Rentals · first-party

What it stores

companion-lang — cookie (/) · 1 year

Stripe payment form

Displays the card form and completes the payment when you choose to pay for a booking. Your card details are entered inside Stripe's own secure frame and never reach MSM. Stripe sets its own cookies to detect fraud. Nothing from Stripe loads until you have chosen to pay.

Provider

Stripe Payments Europe, Ltd. · third-party · stripe.com/privacy

What it stores

__stripe_mid — cookie (/) · 1 year
__stripe_sid — cookie (/) · 30 minutes

What is transmitted

When the payment form loads, your IP address and browser information are sent to Stripe, which processes payments outside the EEA.

Property photography

Delivers the photographs of the homes. The images are the page's content, so they are not optional — but nothing is stored on your device and no cookie is set.

Provider: OwnerRez, Inc. · third-party · www.ownerrez.com/privacy
What it stores: Nothing is stored on your device
What is transmitted: Loading a photograph sends your IP address to OwnerRez's image service (uc.orez.io).

Preferences

Interactive map

Shows the homes on an interactive map, and remembers whether you asked results to follow the map as you move it. The list of homes beside the map is complete without it.

Provider

OpenStreetMap Foundation · third-party · osmfoundation.org/wiki/Privacy_Policy

What it stores

msm.map.autoUpdate — sessionStorage · Until you close the browser tab

What is transmitted

Loading the map requests map tiles from openstreetmap.org, which sends your IP address to the OpenStreetMap Foundation.

Analytics

No analytics technology is active on this website.

Plausible Analyticsdeclared, not active

Counts page views so we can see which homes people look at, without cookies and without profiling anyone. It is prepared but NOT enabled on this website; if it is ever switched on, it will load only with your Analytics consent.

Provider: Plausible Insights OÜ · third-party · plausible.io/privacy
What it stores: Nothing is stored on your device
What is transmitted: If enabled, a page view sends your IP address to Plausible, which discards it after deriving a country and does not store it.

Marketing

No marketing or advertising technologies are used on this website.

Consent policy version: 2026-08-05

What we deliberately do not use

Stated because the absence is a choice, and because it is checkable:

No third-party fonts. The two typefaces are served from this website's own domain; your browser makes no request to a font provider.
No tag manager, and no advertising, conversion or social pixel.
No CAPTCHA, no session recording, no heatmaps, no A/B testing tool, no chat widget.
No embedded third-party video or social content.
No cookie is set by our server on any public page of this website.

Changes to this policy

The list above changes with the website, in the same release. The date at the top of this page is when the surrounding text was last written.
