Cookie Policy

Cookies are small files a website leaves in your browser to remember something between pages or visits. Below are all the ones craiul.ro uses, with their purpose and duration.

Strictly necessary

The site does not work without them (sign-in, security, language), so they do not require consent (Art. 4(5) of Romanian Law 506/2004). They are all ours and are not shared with anyone.

• `craiul-session`: your sign-in session. Expires after 2 hours of inactivity.
• `XSRF-TOKEN`: protects forms against forged requests (CSRF). 2 hours.
• `remember_web_…`: keeps you signed in when you ticked "remember me" or signed in with Google, Facebook or Apple. Up to 400 days, or until you sign out.
• `craiul_oauth_nonce`: checks the return from Google, Facebook or Apple when you sign in through them. 10 minutes.
• `NEXT_LOCALE`: the language you chose on the site. Deleted when you close the browser.
• `craiul.analyticsConsent.v1`: remembers whether you accepted or declined statistics, so we do not ask you on every page. 180 days.

Statistics (only with your consent)

Set only after you click "Accept" in the statistics banner. They are set by Google Analytics 4 (Google Ireland Limited), so we can see which pages are opened and what people search for. Advertising features and Google Signals are off.

• `_ga`: tells one browser from another, without knowing who you are. 2 years.
• `_ga_<ID>`: keeps the state of the current visit. 2 years.

If you decline or withdraw your consent, the Google script is not loaded and existing `_ga` cookies are deleted.

What else the browser keeps (not cookies)

A few preferences are kept in the browser's local storage (localStorage). They never leave for the server.

• `theme`: light or dark theme.
• `craiul.recentSearches.v1`: your last 5 searches, so they are at hand.

You can delete them in your browser settings, under "site data".

No third-party resources

The maps (background, labels, icons), the website fonts and route calculation are hosted by us. Pages contact other servers only for statistics, with your consent, and for error reporting to Sentry.

In the phone app

The app does not use cookies. In the phone's secure storage it keeps the sign-in key, your language, the choices from the first step (whether you live in Craiova or are visiting), your choice about statistics and your recent searches. Firebase Analytics starts only after you say "Yes" to statistics. You can change your choice at any time in Account → "Usage stats".

How to change your choice

• On the website: "Cookie settings" in the footer of any page reopens the choice.
• In your browser: you can delete or block cookies at any time. Without the strictly necessary ones, signing in no longer works.

How we process personal data is described in the Privacy Policy.

This is a translation. If it differs from the Romanian version, the Romanian version prevails.
