PlayoffHotels.com collects as little as we can get away with. We use analytics to count visits and see which pages are useful (Cloudflare Web Analytics, which is cookieless, and Google Analytics). We do not sell personal data.
Our own site analytics
We also log how the site gets used: pages viewed, searches run, filters and sorting applied, and clicks on booking links, including the hotel and price shown. These logs are kept under a random session identifier that is not connected to your name, email, or IP address, and that resets when you close your browser. We use them to improve search results and to match bookings our partners report back to the visit that produced them. We delete these logs within 90 days and never sell or share them for advertising.
Advertising measurement
We advertise on search engines, and their measurement tags run on this site: Microsoft Advertising (UET). These help us understand whether our ads led to a visit and may be used to show our ads to people who visited us before. They involve cookies and similar identifiers set by those platforms, governed by Microsoft's privacy policy. You can opt out of personalized advertising via those platforms' settings or industry tools like YourAdChoices.
Affiliate links
Links to our booking partners include an identifier that tells the partner the visit came from us, so we can earn a commission on bookings. Some links also carry a random click identifier so the partner can report a resulting booking (hotel, dates, our commission — nothing about you personally) back to us. What you do on a partner's site is governed by that partner's own privacy policy.
If you sign up for playoff hotel alerts, we store your email address solely to send those alerts, and every email includes a one-click unsubscribe.
Cookies
Cookies on this site come from our analytics and advertising-measurement tools (above) and from booking partners' attribution when you follow an affiliate link. The full inventory and how to manage them: cookie policy.
