1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how The Hideout ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website at www.comehideout.com ("Website").
 
This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides comprehensive information about how we collect, use, and protect your personal data.
 
By using our Website, you consent to the use of cookies in accordance with this Cookie Policy. You can manage your cookie preferences at any time as described in Section 5 below.
 
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function properly, improve performance, and provide information to website operators.

Cookies may be:








 




3. How We Use Cookies
Our Website is hosted on Wix.com, which uses cookies and similar technologies to enable core functionality, security, and analytics.
 
How Wix cookies work on our site
Wix places several types of cookies on our Website.

These are categorized as follows:
























What we currently use and don't use
























 


Important notes on custom code and third-party apps
 
Custom code: If we add custom code to the Website (e.g., embedded scripts, tracking snippets, or custom functionality), it is categorized as "Essential" by default in Wix and will load before consent is given. We are responsible for reviewing any custom code and re-categorizing it correctly as Essential, Marketing, Analytic, or Functional. We commit to reviewing all custom code for proper categorization.
 
Third-party apps from the Wix App Market: Wix cannot guarantee that the cookie consent banner will block non-essential cookies placed by third-party apps installed from the Wix App Market. We will review any third-party apps installed on our Website and, where possible, ensure they respect cookie consent settings. If a third-party app places non-essential cookies that cannot be controlled via the consent banner, we will disclose this in this Cookie Policy.
 
Wix Analytics and IP addresses

Wix Analytics uses IP addresses to provide data such as visitor location for traffic reports.

Importantly:

• Wix Analytics only collects visitor data — including IP-based location data — after the visitor actively consents to analytics cookies via the cookie consent banner

• If you do not consent to analytics cookies, Wix Analytics does not collect your data

• If we use Wix Session Recordings, we operate in Maximum Privacy mode, which hides visitor IP addresses and provides the highest level of anonymity

• We do not currently use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or Google Ads. If we connect any of these in the future, they will be automatically disabled by the cookie banner until you consent, and we will update this Cookie Policy

• Wix automatically excludes the site owner's visits from analytics reports

3.1 Cookie Categories
a) Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies
These cookies are essential for the Website to function properly. They are loaded automatically when you visit the site and are used for security, fraud detection, and core site functionality. The Website cannot function correctly without these cookies.
 
These cookies do not require your consent under the ePrivacy Directive (as implemented in Germany via the TTDSG — § 25 Abs. 2 Nr. 2) because they are strictly necessary for the service you have requested.
 
No visitor analytics data, including IP-based location data, is collected through essential cookies.






















 
Note: The exact cookies used may vary as Wix updates its platform. We use the Usercentrics for Wix cookie scanning tool to periodically audit and verify the cookies on our site. This table reflects the most recent audit at the time of publication.

b) Analytics and Performance Cookies
These cookies collect information about how visitors use the Website — for example, which pages are visited most often, how long visitors spend on a page, and visitor location (based on IP address).
 
These cookies are disabled by default and are only activated after you consent via the cookie consent banner. If you do not consent, no analytics data is collected.












 
Wix Session Recordings: If we use Wix's Session Recordings feature (which records how visitors interact with the site for usability improvement purposes), we operate in Maximum Privacy mode.
This means:

• Visitor IP addresses are hidden

• The highest level of visitor anonymity is applied

• No personally identifiable information is captured through session recordings

• Session recordings are only activated if you consent to analytics cookies
   

Wix Analytics data is used solely to understand website usage patterns and improve the user experience. We do not use this data for advertising, profiling, or individual tracking.
 
c) Functional Cookies
These cookies enable the Website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization — for example, remembering your language preference or region.
These cookies are disabled by default and require your consent before they are set.














 
d) Marketing and Advertising Cookies
We do not currently use any marketing, advertising, or retargeting cookies.
We have not connected Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, Google Ads, or any other third-party marketing or advertising integration.
 
If we add any of these integrations in the future:

• They will be automatically disabled by the Wix cookie banner until you provide consent

• This Cookie Policy will be updated to list the specific cookies and their purposes

• The Privacy Policy will be updated to disclose the new processor

• Your consent will be required before any marketing cookies are activated

3.2: Cookie Consent Banner and Scanning

Our Cookie Consent Banner
We use the Usercentrics for Wix cookie consent banner to manage cookie consent on our Website.

This banner:

• Appears when you first visit the site, before any non-essential cookies are set

• Allows you to accept all, reject non-essential, or customize your cookie preferences

• Records your consent choice so you are not asked again on subsequent visits (your preference is stored via the consent-policy cookie for 12 months)

• Automatically blocks analytics, functional, and marketing cookies until you provide consent

Website Cookie Scanning
We use the Usercentrics for Wix scanning tool to periodically audit the cookies on our Website.

This scan:

• Identifies both Wix and third-party components on the site

• Describes the cookie types each component uses

• Suggests specific categorization actions where needed

• Helps us ensure that all cookies are properly categorized and that non-essential cookies are blocked until consent is given
   

We commit to running a cookie scan:

• Before initial publication of the Website

• After installing or removing any Wix App Market apps

• After adding or modifying any custom code

• At least once annually as part of our regular compliance review
   

The results of these scans inform the cookie tables in this Cookie Policy. If a scan reveals new cookies, we will update this policy accordingly.

a) Third-Party Wix App Market Apps
If we install apps from the Wix App Market, these apps may place their own cookies on your device.
Important limitation: Wix has stated that it cannot guarantee that the cookie consent banner will block non-essential cookies placed by third-party apps from the Wix App Market. This means that some third-party app cookies may be loaded before or without your consent, despite the cookie banner being active.
 
We take the following steps to mitigate this risk: 














Third-party apps currently installed:








 
This table will be updated whenever new third-party apps are installed or removed.

b) Embedded Content
Our Website may occasionally embed content from third-party services (e.g., YouTube videos, Google Maps, social media feeds). When you interact with embedded content, the third-party provider may set their own cookies on your device.
 
We do not control these cookies. Please refer to the respective third party's cookie and privacy policies for more information: 








 

 

 
If you do not currently embed any third-party content, this section serves as a proactive disclosure in case you add embeds in the future.
 
5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have the right to decide which cookies you accept and which you reject (except for strictly necessary cookies, which are required for the Website to function).

a) Cookie Consent Banner
When you first visit our Website, a cookie consent banner will appear, giving you the option to:

• Accept all cookies — all cookie categories will be activated

• Reject non-essential cookies — only strictly necessary cookies will be set

• Customize your preferences — choose which categories of cookies to accept or reject

You can change your cookie preferences at any time by:

• Clicking the cookie settings link in the website footer (if available)

• Clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the Website (the consent banner will reappear)

b) Browser Settings
You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

• View which cookies are stored on your device

• Delete some or all cookies

• Block cookies from specific websites or all websites

• Set your browser to notify you when a cookie is being set
   

Here are links to cookie management instructions for common browsers: 











 
Please note: Blocking or deleting cookies may affect the functionality of the Website and your user experience. Some features may not work as intended if cookies are disabled.

c) Do Not Track (DNT)
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) setting. There is currently no universal standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. Our Website does not currently respond to DNT signals, but you can control tracking through the cookie consent banner and browser settings as described above.
 
6. Legal Basis for Cookie Use: 
















 
Under German law (TTDSG — Telekommunikation-Telemedien-Datenschutz-Gesetz, § 25), consent is required for storing or accessing information on a user's device unless the cookie is strictly necessary to provide the service explicitly requested by the user. This implements the EU ePrivacy Directive (2002/58/EC) in German law.
 
7. Data Collected Through Cookies
The data collected through cookies on our Website is primarily technical and anonymized. It may include:

• Browser type and version

• Operating system

• Screen resolution

• Referring URL

• Pages visited and time spent

• Date and time of visit

• General geographic region (based on anonymized IP)

This data is not combined with personal data you provide to us (e.g., through booking forms or email sign-up) and is not used to identify you personally.
 
For full details on how we handle personal data, please refer to our Privacy Policy.
 
8. Wix-Specific Cookie Information
As our Website is hosted on Wix, Wix is responsible for setting and managing certain cookies on our behalf (as a data processor).

9. Similar Technologies
In addition to cookies, our Website may use similar technologies, including: 











 
These technologies are subject to the same consent requirements and legal bases as cookies, as described in Section 6.
