Cookie Policy

Last Updated: January 17, 2025

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how Loro planner and our third-party partners use cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website.

Key Point: Loro planner does NOT use cookies directly. However, third-party services we integrate with (like Google Analytics and mapping services) may set their own cookies on your device.

For comprehensive information about how we handle your data, please review our Privacy Policy.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit them. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide information to website owners.

2.1 Types of Cookies

  • Session Cookies: Temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser
  • Persistent Cookies: Cookies that remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them
  • First-Party Cookies: Set by the website you're visiting
  • Third-Party Cookies: Set by external services (like analytics or advertising platforms)

2.2 Local Storage vs. Cookies

Loro planner uses browser local storage instead of cookies to save your preferences. The key difference:

  • Cookies: Sent to the server with every request
  • Local Storage: Stays on your device and is never sent to our servers

This means your saved preferences (language, currency, saved itineraries) remain private and under your control.

3. Our Use of Cookies

Loro planner does NOT set cookies directly.

Instead, we use browser local storage to save your preferences locally on your device, including:

  • Language preference
  • Currency preference
  • Saved itineraries or favorites
  • UI customization settings

This data never leaves your device and is not accessible to us or any third parties. You can clear it at any time through your browser settings.

4. Third-Party Cookies

While we don't use cookies ourselves, the following third-party services integrated into Loro planner may set their own cookies:

4.1 Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our website. Google Analytics may set cookies to collect anonymous information about:

  • Pages you visit and time spent on each page
  • How you arrived at our website (referral source)
  • Your browser type, device, and screen resolution
  • General geographic location (country/city level)
  • Interactions with our content

This data is anonymized and used solely to improve our service. Learn more: Google Analytics Cookie Usage

4.2 Google Maps

We use Google Maps to display maps and calculate routes. Google Maps may set cookies to:

  • Remember your map preferences
  • Improve map performance and loading times
  • Collect usage statistics

Learn more: Google Maps Privacy Policy

4.3 Mapbox

We use Mapbox for additional mapping features and visualizations. Mapbox may set cookies for similar purposes as Google Maps.

4.4 Why Third-Party Cookies Are Used

These third-party cookies help us:

  • Understand user behavior to improve the platform
  • Identify and fix technical issues
  • Optimize performance and user experience
  • Validate our MVP concept and measure engagement

We do not use cookies for advertising, tracking across websites, or selling your data.

5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have full control over cookies on your device. Here's how to manage them:

5.1 Browser Settings

Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can:

  • Block all cookies
  • Block third-party cookies only
  • Delete existing cookies
  • Set cookies to expire when you close your browser

How to manage cookies in popular browsers:

  • Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
  • Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
  • Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Cookies and website data
  • Microsoft Edge: Settings → Privacy, search, and services → Cookies and site permissions

5.2 Impact of Disabling Cookies

If you disable or block cookies, certain features may be affected:

  • Google Analytics cookies: Disabling these will not affect your use of Loro planner, but it prevents us from understanding how users interact with our platform
  • Google Maps cookies: May affect map loading performance or functionality
  • Mapbox cookies: May affect map visualization features

Note: Your saved preferences in Loro planner use local storage, not cookies, so disabling cookies will not affect your saved settings.

5.3 Do Not Track (DNT)

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you don't want to be tracked. However, there is no industry standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals.

Loro planner does not track you across other websites. Third-party services may have their own DNT policies—please review their privacy policies for details.

6. Future Changes

6.1 Cookie Consent Banner

When we introduce user registration features, we plan to implement a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations. This will allow you to:

  • Accept or reject non-essential cookies
  • Customize your cookie preferences by category
  • Change your preferences at any time
  • Access detailed information about each cookie type

6.2 Additional Cookies

If we introduce features that require cookies (such as authentication, shopping cart, or personalization), we will:

  • Update this Cookie Policy with clear descriptions
  • Obtain your consent where required by law
  • Provide easy-to-use preference management tools
  • Notify users of significant changes

6.3 Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. When we make changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.

For significant changes, we will provide prominent notice on our website.
