Cookie Policy
Runtrip sets exactly one cookie, and it is the one that makes the planner work. We use no advertising cookies and no cross-site trackers — which is also why you will not see a cookie banner here.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small files a site asks your browser to store and send back on your next visit. They are how a website recognises that two visits came from the same browser.
2. The one cookie we set
We set a single cookie, named rt_uid. It holds a long random token and nothing else — no name, no email, no trip content.
- →What it does — it is how we recognise your planning session, so the trips you created are still yours when you come back, and so a paid subscription stays attached to you.
- →How long it lasts — up to one year, unless you clear it sooner.
- →How it is protected — it is httpOnly, so scripts in the page cannot read it; it is sent only over HTTPS in production; and it is scoped to Runtrip with SameSite=Lax, so it is not sent to other sites.
- →Why there is no banner — this cookie is strictly necessary to deliver the service you asked for, so under the ePrivacy rules it does not require consent. We set nothing that does.
3. What we deliberately do not use
We do not set advertising cookies, cross-site trackers, or social pixels, and we do not sell data to anyone who does.
We do measure aggregate traffic and page performance using Vercel Analytics and Speed Insights. These are deliberately cookieless: they store nothing on your device and build no cross-site profile of you. That is why analytics does not appear as an optional bucket below — there is nothing to opt out of.
4. Third-party storage
Signing in, subscribing, and paying are handled for us by monetize.software, which serves those screens from its own domain. That provider may set its own cookies or storage on that domain to keep you signed in through checkout, governed by its own cookie and privacy policies rather than this one.
Booking links in a plan take you to partner sites such as airlines, hotels, and booking platforms. Once you follow a link, that site's own cookie policy applies. We do not embed partner tracking on Runtrip itself.
5. Managing cookies
You can clear or block cookies at any time in your browser settings. Because rt_uid is what links you to your saved trips, clearing it will sign you out and start a fresh anonymous session — trips created under the old session will no longer appear, so export anything you want to keep first. If you have signed in, signing back in restores access to your account.
