Cookies Policy for Authorize OnlineR
This Cookie Policy explains how INNsight.com, Inc. (“INNsight,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on the AuthorizeOnline website (www.authorizeonline.com) and related AuthorizeOnline services. AuthorizeOnline is an all-in-one hospitality platform that includes credit card authorization, guest identification and ID scanning, mobile check-in, chargeback defense, fraud-prevention tools, Do Not Rent management, and cookie/consent management tools that Clients may deploy on their own websites.
This Policy describes the technologies we use on our own site, why we use them, and the choices available to you. For personal information collected through these technologies, our Privacy Policy also applies. When a Client deploys AuthorizeOnline’s consent tools on its own hotel or hospitality website, the Client’s cookie and privacy policies govern that Client’s site.
Non-essential cookies and similar technologies (including analytics, advertising, and social tools) on www.authorizeonline.com do not load or fire until you provide affirmative consent through our cookie banner. You may reject all non-essential cookies on the first layer of the banner. Essential cookies, limited to those strictly necessary for the site to function, may load without consent. We treat a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal as a valid opt-out of non-essential cookies and of any sale or sharing of personal information.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. First-party cookies are set by us. Third-party cookies are set by other companies and may enable analytics, advertising, or additional features. Those third parties may recognize your device across sites that use their services.
Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:
- Essential — to operate the site securely, maintain sessions, and provide core functionality.
- Performance and functionality — to remember preferences such as language or display settings (loaded only after consent).
- Analytics — to understand aggregate site usage and improve performance (loaded only after consent).
- Advertising — to measure and deliver relevant advertising (loaded only after consent).
We do not use non-essential cookies for these purposes until you have given affirmative consent.
How You Control Cookies
You decide whether to accept non-essential cookies. Our banner presents “Accept All” and “Reject All” options with equal prominence. You may also open “Cookie Settings” (available in the banner and linked in the site footer) to make granular choices or withdraw consent at any time. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent given before withdrawal.
You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most advertising networks offer additional opt-out tools at optout.aboutads.info and youronlinechoices.com.
Our consent management tools record the choices you make and enforce them so that non-essential technologies do not fire unless you have consented.

Other Tracking Technologies

Data Retention
Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies are retained only as long as needed for their stated purpose and, for non-essential cookies, no longer than necessary (generally no more than 12 months). Consent choices are stored so we can honor them on return visits.

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in the technologies we use or for operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. The “Last Updated” date at the top indicates when the Policy was last revised. Please review it periodically.
