Cookie Policy
Version 2026-10-23
RoadTripDesk uses necessary first-party session/security state. Optional Google Ads conversion tracking can also be enabled after you make a choice in the privacy banner.
Necessary cookies
A first-party RoadTripDesk session cookie is used for sign-in, CSRF protection, account security and continuity between requests. It is marked HttpOnly and SameSite=Lax, and it is Secure in beta/production so the browser only sends it over HTTPS. This cookie is required for authenticated RoadTripDesk features. A separate first-party preference cookie stores your optional analytics/ads choice so the same choice can be respected across roadtripdesk.com and app.roadtripdesk.com.
Preferences
Preferences such as time format, map preference and whether the welcome guide has been completed are stored with your RoadTripDesk account where practical, rather than in optional browser tracking storage.
Third-party map and partner services
Map tiles or other feature content can be requested from the selected external provider when you use that feature, for example OpenStreetMap or Mapbox. Server-side routing, geocoding and accommodation lookups may also contact external providers with the minimum information needed for the request. Affiliate partners may use their own cookies or tracking after you actively follow a partner link away from RoadTripDesk.
Analytics and advertising measurement
RoadTripDesk records limited first-party product events on the server to understand whether registered users create trips, calculate routes and use key features. These records do not contain copied route addresses, notes or trip content and are retained for up to 180 days.
If Google Analytics or Google Ads measurement is enabled, the Google tag is not loaded until you choose Allow analytics & ads. When allowed, Google Analytics may receive standard page/session measurement and Google Ads may use advertising/analytics storage and conversion identifiers to attribute a verified RoadTripDesk signup to an ad interaction. You can change this choice at any time using Cookie settings in the footer. If you withdraw consent, RoadTripDesk sends denied consent signals, removes first-party Google measurement cookies that are accessible to RoadTripDesk, and reloads the current page so the optional Google tag is no longer running on that page.
