This policy explains what driftkin.app stores in your browser and why. The short answer: very little, and nothing that tracks you.
Summary
- No advertising cookies, no third-party analytics cookies and no tracking pixels. Nothing on driftkin.app follows you to other websites.
- Our fonts are served from our own domain, and the public site loads no advertising or analytics scripts, videos or social widgets. The one third-party script is Google Maps, which loads on trip pages only, when you scroll near the map (see below).
- The few things we store are strictly necessary or remember a setting you chose. The law doesn’t require consent for those, which is why you don’t see a cookie banner.
What we use
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration | Category |
|---|---|---|---|---|
waypoint-theme | Local storage (driftkin.app) | Remembers whether you chose light or dark mode. Only written when you press the theme button. | Until you clear it | Strictly necessary (a setting you asked for) |
trip-viewed:<trip> | Session storage (driftkin.app) | Notes that you already opened a published suggested trip in this tab, so its anonymous daily view counter adds one visit, not one per reload. It holds no information about you. | Until you close the tab | Strictly necessary (a one-line count that identifies no one) |
sb-…-auth-token | Cookie (driftkin.app) | Keeps authorised staff signed in to the DriftKin admin area. Not set for ordinary visitors. | Until the staff member signs out, or up to 400 days | Strictly necessary |
Google Maps (trip pages) | Script and cookies or similar technologies (set by Google) | Draws the map on a trip page. It loads only when you scroll near the map. Google receives your IP address and browser details and may set or read its own cookies, as described in the Google Privacy Policy. | Set by Google, see its policy | Needed to show the map you asked for |
__cf_bm, cf_clearance | Cookie (set by Cloudflare) | Only set if Cloudflare's security checks need to tell people apart from bots, for example during an attack. | __cf_bm: 30 minutes. cf_clearance: up to 1 year | Strictly necessary (security) |
The delete-account page signs you in only to confirm the account is yours, and saves nothing in your browser.
Why there is no cookie banner
Privacy laws generally require a cookie consent prompt only for cookies that track people, such as advertising or cross-site analytics cookies. Everything in the table above is either strictly necessary to run and secure the site, remembers a setting you chose, or draws the map you asked to see, and none of it is used for advertising or tracks you for us, so there is nothing to ask consent for.
If we ever add analytics, advertising or any other cookie that isn’t strictly necessary, we may update this policy, and where the law requires it, we will ask for your consent first.
In the DriftKin apps
The iOS and Android apps don’t use cookies. They store your sign-in session, settings and a cache of your trips and park data on your device, so the app loads quickly and can show some saved information without a connection. The apps contain no advertising or third-party analytics SDKs, and they don’t access your device’s advertising identifier or track you across other companies’ apps or websites. We keep first-party counts of our own, such as which days you opened the app and which upgrade prompts you saw (see the Privacy Policy). The Google Maps component in the iOS app collects some technical data for Google, including a device-level identifier and crash and performance diagnostics, which Google declares it uses for analytics and to provide the maps, not for advertising or tracking. When the app shows Google Maps, Google may use its own technologies as described in the Google Privacy Policy.
How to control them
You can see and delete cookies and local storage in your browser’s settings, and block them for driftkin.app. If you block them, the site will still work, but it won’t remember your theme, and staff won’t be able to sign in to the admin area.
