Cookies and local storage

Necessary browser storage

Authentication session tokens are managed by Supabase in browser storage. The language choice is stored under staymates_language. These serve account access and your language preference, rather than advertising. Clearing session data can sign you out.

Drafts on shared devices

Signup and profile drafts use staymates_signup_draft_v2 and staymates_profile_draft_v2:… with a one-hour expiry checked when read. Password fields are excluded. Drafts may still include personal profile fields, so avoid a shared browser or clear drafts when finished. Use the clear-local-drafts button on the privacy request page to remove matching drafts on this browser; it does not delete server data.

Optional audience and performance measurement

The hostaupairs:analytics-consent:v1 preference records accepted or rejected. Optional Vercel Analytics and Speed Insights are loaded only after approval on the production hostname; homepage events are sanitized. Declining does not prevent core account use. Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track are conservatively treated as a decline for optional measurement in this implementation. Measurement preference is an optional choice, not agreement to the terms.

Change or withdraw your choice

Open measurement preferences in the website footer, or use the decline button on this page. Declining after acceptance blocks subsequent events and reloads the page to unload previously injected measurement code. Events already sent cannot be recalled. If storage is unavailable, the site must not silently treat it as acceptance.

Other network connections

Fonts, map tiles, authentication, hosting and email can involve service-provider connection logs, independently of optional measurement. Browser controls and our measurement preference do not erase those logs. See the privacy notice for recipients and why the service makes those connections.

Measurement choice at signup

No measurement banner opens on arrival. At signup, an optional, unchecked box separate from the terms allows Vercel Analytics and Speed Insights in this browser. Without permission these tools are not loaded; necessary hosting logs remain independent. You can also grant or withdraw permission through Measurement preferences in the footer. The preference expires after 180 days without automatically opening a prompt. These tools do not use measurement cookies: Vercel describes an audience hash derived from incoming requests, discarded after 24 hours, and aggregate statistics. This does not mean no data is transmitted. Only the public homepage is measured; URL parameters and fragments are removed, with no account identifiers or conversation content. Accepting the terms does not authorize measurement.
