TinyBell pixel cookies (on your hotel website)
The TinyBell pixel script uses localStorage and sessionStorage instead of cookies for most functionality:
| Storage key | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|
__[pixel_key]_[id]_notification_display_frequency | Functional | Track if a notification was already shown (once_per_session / once_per_browser) | Session or permanent |
__[pixel_key]_[id]_notification_manually_closed | Functional | Remember that the visitor closed a notification | Session |
__[pixel_key]_[id]_notification_hover | Functional | Prevent duplicate hover tracking | Session |
The TinyBell pixel does not set any third-party cookies on hotel websites. All storage is first-party and scoped to the hotel’s domain.
Cookie consent on hotel websites
TinyBell provides a Cookie Notification widget type that hotels can use to collect cookie consent from their visitors. This widget:
- Supports granular consent (necessary, analytics, targeting)
- Logs consent choices with timestamp, device type, and browser language
- Can be customized to match the hotel’s branding
- Respects the visitor’s choice by storing it in localStorage
How to manage cookies
On the TinyBell dashboard

On hotel websites using TinyBell
The hotel website’s cookie policy governs how cookies are managed. TinyBell provides the tools, the hotel (as data controller) decides the implementation.
GDPR and ePrivacy compliance
- TinyBell acts as a data processor on behalf of hotels (data controllers)
- The pixel does not track visitors across websites
- No personal data is shared with third parties for advertising
- Consent preferences are stored locally on the visitor’s device
- Hotels can configure notifications to only appear after cookie consent is given (using display triggers)
