1. What are cookies

Cookies are small files stored on your device when you visit our website. They help us make the website work and improve it.

2. Which cookies we use

Type	Purpose	Retention
Functional	Remembering your language, your theme (light/dark) and your cookie choice on this device	Until you clear your browser data
Analytics (Google Analytics)	Measuring website usage to improve Kavelradar	Up to 14 months
Logging in	Keeping you logged in: your login session is stored in your browser's local storage	Until you log out or the session expires
Local storage	Quickly showing your saved plots, progress list and search preferences. If you are logged in they are also kept in your account; when you log out we clear them from your browser. With Pro we keep the Pro content (such as plots that are locked for Free) in your browser until you log out, so pages load instantly. We also remember, in the tab you are browsing in, your last plot overview (chosen municipality and filters), so that "Back to plot overview" takes you back there; this disappears as soon as you close the tab. If you open an invitation link from someone, we remember that invitation code for 30 days, so it is included if you create an account within that time	Until you log out or clear your browser data
View counter	Remembering that you already viewed a plot page today, so your visit only counts once for "views this week"	Until you clear your browser data

3. External services

For the maps, logging in and saving your data we use external service providers. These may technically receive your IP address. When you check out for Kavelradar Pro, you are redirected to a payment page hosted by Stripe; Stripe's own cookies and privacy policy apply there, not this cookie policy. Read our privacy policy for more information.

4. Managing consent

On your first visit we ask for consent via the cookie banner. You can decline analytics cookies; functional cookies are necessary for the website to work.
