At DEVSTAYZ Limited (referred to here as "we," "us," or "DEVSTAYZ"), we use cookies and similar technologies across our website, www.DevStayZ.com, for a few key reasons. Primarily, these tools help us monitor how you use our site, perform detailed website analytics, and deliver the most relevant marketing and advertising to you. By continuing to use our website and any related services, you are signaling your acceptance of this comprehensive DEVSTAYZ cookies policy and agreeing to our use of the cookies detailed below. Think of this document as your transparent guide to how we handle these small but important pieces of data.
This policy is designed to clearly explain what cookies are, exactly how we use them, and—crucially—how various third parties might also set cookies or similar technologies on our website to power their features or functionality. Most importantly, we’ll show you your choices when it comes to cookies, including straightforward instructions on how to opt-out of cookies if you choose to. Because your data privacy is paramount, you should read this policy together with our separate privacy policy for a full picture of our data practices. If, after reviewing everything, you still have questions or need more clarity on the use of cookies on our website, please don't hesitate to reach out to us directly via email at operations@DevStayZ.in.
In simple terms, website cookies are tiny text files. They contain small amounts of information that are downloaded to your browsing device—whether that's a computer, smartphone, or tablet—when you visit a website. Cookies are smart: the website that originally placed them can recognize them, and so can other websites that use the same cookies. This recognition is how websites "know" if your specific browsing device has visited them before.
They perform a surprisingly wide range of functions that dramatically improve your online experience. For example, cookies help us understand how people are using our site, enable seamless page navigation, remember your specific preferences (like language settings), and generally make your browsing much smoother. Additionally, they can help ensure that the online marketing you see is more relevant to your individual interests.
When we talk about this DEVSTAYZ Cookies Policy, we also use the term "cookie" to cover similar online tracking technologies, such as web beacons. A web beacon (also known as a pixel tag or clear GIF) is a tiny, clear string of code that works hand-in-hand with a cookie.
Here’s the key difference: cookies are stored on your computer's hard drive, but web beacons are embedded invisibly on web pages or within emails. A web beacon allows us to capture specific additional details about a visitor's actions. This includes things like your cookie number, the exact time and date of your visit, the duration and number of pages viewed, a description of the page where the beacon is placed, and details about any purchases made.
These beacons are invaluable tools that help us analyze our customers' online behavior and accurately measure the effectiveness of both our website and our digital advertising campaigns. We partner with specialized service providers who help us track, collect, and analyze this crucial information.
We want you to be aware that we may update or modify this policy periodically without giving you a direct notification. Because of this, we strongly encourage you to check back on this policy from time to time. We implement any changes by simply uploading a revised policy onto our website. Unless we specifically state otherwise, any update will be effective from the date we upload that revised version.
This version of the DEVSTAYZ Cookies Policy was last updated on 01st Oct 2025.
The cookies used by DEVSTAYZ and most modern websites generally fall into five key categories. Understanding these types is essential for managing your preferences. You can view the specific cookies we use here.
These are the most fundamental cookies—they are absolutely essential for the basic and full functionality of our website. They allow you to move smoothly around our site and use its core features, such as accessing secure areas like a membership login page. Without these cookies, you might not be able to access all the critical functions of our website. For example, imagine a digital lock on a door; the strictly necessary cookie is the key that lets you open it.
These cookies are all about optimization. They anonymously collect information about how you use our website or services. This includes data points like which pages are the most visited and whether you encounter any error messages while navigating. The key takeaway is that these cookies do not gather information that identifies you personally. All data collected is anonymous and is used only to improve how our website operates and enhance our delivery of services to you.
Functionality cookies make your life easier by allowing our website to remember the choices you make. This could be your user name, your preferred language, or the region you are browsing from. They can also be used to provide services you specifically request, such as enabling you to comment on a blog post. While the information they collect may sometimes be anonymous, they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.
These cookies go a step further to provide enhanced features and display content that is genuinely relevant to you. They help us decide what information is shown on our website based on how you have used our website and our services in the past. To do this, these cookies also track your browsing activity on other websites. For instance, if you view several articles about a specific type of travel on a third-party site, these cookies might help us present you with DEVSTAYZ content related to that travel.
Targeting cookies are focused purely on advertising. They are used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests. They serve two main purposes: limiting the number of times you see a particular advertisement and helping us measure the effectiveness of an advertising campaign. They remember that you have visited a website, and this information may be shared with other organizations, such as advertisers.
This is why you might visit DevStayZ.com, and then later, while browsing a news site, you see an advertisement for our products—this is called retargeting.
We understand you may not want to receive targeted advertising. You have the right to opt out, and you can learn more about interest-based advertising and opt out of it from participating online advertising companies at the following links:
Note: Opting out of interest-based advertising does not mean you will no longer see ads. It simply means the ads you receive will be generic, non-targeted advertisements.
The lifespan of a cookie depends on whether it is a persistent cookie or a session cookie.
| Cookie Type | Duration on Device | What it Does |
|---|---|---|
| Session Cookie | Stays only until you close your browser. | Used for temporary functions, such as keeping you logged in during a single visit. |
| Persistent Cookie | Stays until it expires (which could be days, months, or years) or until you manually delete it. | Used to remember your long-term preferences, like a login username for your next visit. |
Note: Session cookies are the digital equivalent of a visitor's pass—they expire when the visit is over. Persistent cookies are more like a long-term membership card.
The most direct way to control or delete cookies is through the settings of the browser you are using (like Chrome, Firefox, Safari, etc.). To do this, simply follow the specific instructions provided by your browser's help section.
A Word of Caution: If you configure your browser to entirely disable cookies, you may find that you cannot access certain secure or restricted areas of the website. Furthermore, other essential parts of our website may not function correctly. For example, you might be unable to log in or save your preferences.
You can find more detailed, universal information about how to change your browser cookie settings at: aboutcookies.org.uk/install.php (note: this is an external third-party site).
Our website may contain links to or features from other sites, including those of our global distributors. These external websites and applications may use different online tracking technologies than the ones we use.
It’s important for you to understand and agree that we are not responsible for any third-party websites or applications, and you access them entirely at your own risk. Always remember that these external sites are independent from us, so you must inform yourself by reading their separate cookie policies and privacy statements.
| Type of Cookie | Who Serves These Cookies | How to Turn These Off and Further Information |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary | DEVSTAYZ (Cloudflare, FeedGrabbr, Statcounter) | These cookies are essential for our website to function as you expect. They help identify trusted web traffic. Because they are strictly necessary, you cannot technically refuse them without breaking the site. You can block or delete them by changing your browser settings, but blocking them entirely will prevent access to restricted areas, like logging in for webinars or whitepapers. |
| Performance | DEVSTAYZ, LiveChat Inc | These cookies collect anonymous, non-identifying data on how you use our site and services. This information is solely used to improve our website and service provision. To refuse these cookies, please follow the instructions in the section "Controlling and Deleting Cookies Through Your Browser" above. |
| Functionality | DEVSTAYZ, LiveChat Inc, LinkedIn | We use these to remember your operational preferences on the website (e.g., language, view settings) so you don't have to re-set them on every visit. To refuse these cookies, please follow the instructions in the section "Controlling and Deleting Cookies Through Your Browser" above. |
| Performance (Analytics) | Google Analytics | We use these to collect unique but anonymous data from visitors, which Google reports back to us as aggregated numbers and website trends. To refuse these cookies, follow the browser instructions above. You can also opt out of Google Analytics’ cookies specifically at: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. |
| Targeting | DEVSTAYZ, Facebook, LinkedIn, Google Adwords, Google DoubleClick, Twitter | We use these, or partner with third parties, to show you online advertising and email marketing we think will interest you, including showing you ads after you leave our site (retargeting). We also work with companies to reach new people who haven’t yet visited our website. |
A: Not at all. Accepting the DEVSTAYZ cookies policy means you agree to the way we use specific, non-identifiable data to improve your experience and service.

A: A first-party cookie is set directly by DEVSTAYZ (www.DevStayZ.com) for site functionality like remembering your login. A third-party cookie is set by other domains (e.g., Google, Facebook) and used for analytics or advertising. This helps keep our site relevant and free to use.
A: Clearing cookies resets your visit history. When you revisit DevStayZ.com, you’ll be treated as a new visitor—you’ll need to re-enter your login details, re-set preferences, and accept cookies again.
A: These cookies personalize your experience—like a virtual assistant. They track your preferences and show you the most relevant articles or services instantly, saving time and improving your site experience.
A: Yes. Targeting cookies are optional and used for advertising. You can refuse them via opt-out links or browser settings. You’ll still access the site, but ads will be generic rather than personalized.
A: A web beacon (or pixel tag) is a small invisible image or code snippet that reports user actions like opening an email or viewing a page. It helps DEVSTAYZ analyze site traffic and ad effectiveness.
