NightsBridge
NightsBridge is an online commerce platform. This page explains its cookies, your GDPR and ePrivacy obligations, data transfers and how to deploy it with valid consent.
What does NightsBridge do?
What NightsBridge is and how it works
NightsBridge is an online commerce service operated by NightsBridge. It powers the storefront, the basket and the checkout, so it processes the personal data your customers provide to place and manage an order.
What data and cookies NightsBridge processes
NightsBridge processes the data needed to run a shop, including name, address, contact details, order history and a session cookie that keeps the basket and the login active during a visit.
GDPR and ePrivacy implications
Running a shop mixes several lawful bases. Session and order data rest on the performance of the contract, while any analytics or marketing layered on top needs separate consent and a clear separation in the cookie banner.
Do you need consent
Because NightsBridge sets cookies or processes identifiers that are not strictly necessary, you must obtain prior, informed and freely given consent before it loads.
International data transfers
NightsBridge hosts its booking engine in South Africa, a country outside the European Economic Area without a European Commission adequacy decision. Map this transfer, identify the safeguard you rely on such as an adequacy decision or Standard Contractual Clauses, and document it in your records of processing.
How to stay compliant with NightsBridge
Separate the strictly necessary cookies from the optional ones in NightsBridge, gate analytics and marketing behind consent, sign a data processing agreement with NightsBridge, and publish a clear privacy notice covering orders, payment and delivery.
NightsBridge and the GDPR
NightsBridge is classified as “Preferences”. On a site that targets European visitors, it must only load after the visitor consents, and it must be listed in your cookie policy.

How do I implement NightsBridge in a compliant way?
Implement NightsBridge through your consent layer: keep strictly necessary functions always on, gate optional ones behind consent, sign a data processing agreement with NightsBridge where it acts as a processor and keep your cookie policy in sync with the real cookies.
What are the alternatives to NightsBridge?
Alternatives include other commerce platforms, but every shop processes order data, so the contract basis and the need to gate optional tracking behind consent apply to all of them.
How do I update my cookie policy for NightsBridge?
List every cookie NightsBridge sets in your cookie policy with its name, purpose and retention, state the legal basis, name NightsBridge where relevant, and update the policy whenever the tool changes so refusals in your banner are always honoured.
