Cookie Policy
Last updated: 23 August 2026
This Policy explains how the Localbooking.md platform uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our site. This document is directly adapted to the consent options provided in the main banner and complies with Law No. 195/2024 on the protection of personal data in the Republic of Moldova.
The "What are cookies?" option – Technical Information
A cookie is a small text file, made up of letters and numbers, stored on the computer, mobile device or other equipment from which the internet is accessed. The cookie is completely "passive" (it does not contain software programs, viruses or spyware and cannot access the information on your hard drive).
It allows the Localbooking.md platform to recognize your browser in order to ensure a stable experience while browsing and searching for tourist services.
The "Accept" option – What do you activate with this choice?
When you press the "Accept" button on the banner on the homepage, you give your express consent to activate all the cookie modules used by our site, divided into:
- Statistics & Performance cookies (Optional): Help us collect anonymous information about how visitors interact with our pages (e.g. which guesthouses or tours are the most viewed). We use third-party tools such as Google Analytics for this purpose.
- Marketing & Advertising cookies (Optional): Used by advertising networks (e.g. Meta Pixel, Google Ads) to build a profile of your interests and to show you relevant travel offers or promotions on other sites you visit.
The "Decline" option – What happens if you choose this option?
When you press the "Decline" button, the Localbooking.md platform will instantly block the download of all optional statistics and marketing cookies mentioned above. Only the following will be placed on your device:
- Strictly Necessary cookies (Mandatory): These are indispensable for the technical functioning of the site. They allow securing the authentication procedure, remembering the selected currency (MDL, EUR, USD), saving the browsing language (RO, EN, RU) and the proper functioning of the search filters. These cookies do not store personally identifiable information and cannot be disabled in our systems, as the site could not function.
