Cookie Policy

Last updated: May 2026

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide information to the site owners. Equivalent client-side storage mechanisms — including localStorage, sessionStorage, and IndexedDB — serve similar purposes and are covered by this policy.

2. Categories we use

Category	Purpose	Duration	Consent
Strictly necessary	Authentication session, CSRF protection, load balancing, security headers.	Session — 30 days	Not required
Preferences	Remembering your selected interests, last opened trip, accessibility-panel choices, cookie-banner decision.	Up to 12 months	Not required (essential to feature you used)
Analytics	Aggregated, pseudonymised usage statistics to understand which features are used and where the product can be improved.	Up to 13 months	Consent required
Marketing / advertising	EME does not currently use marketing, advertising, or cross-site tracking cookies. If this changes, we will update this page and request fresh consent.	—	Would require consent

3. Third-party cookies

Some pages embed third-party components that may set their own cookies subject to those parties' policies:

Google — OAuth sign-in flow and Google Places autocomplete on the trip builder.
Stripe — fraud-prevention and session cookies on the checkout page.
Travelpayouts / Aviasales — affiliate flight-search widget.
Stay22 — affiliate hotel-search widget.
OpenStreetMap — map tiles; no personal cookies are set.

We surface these third parties in section 7 of the Privacy Policy with their location and legal-transfer basis.

4. How to change your choices

You can re-open the cookie banner and change your consent at any time:

In your browser's site-data settings, clear the eme_cookie_consent entry for this site. The banner will reappear on your next visit.
Most browsers let you block or delete cookies for specific sites: see Settings → Privacy in Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or Edge.
We honour the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal sent by browsers and extensions as a request to opt out of non-essential tracking.
You may also use the "Essential Only" choice in the cookie banner to keep the service usable without analytics.

5. Updates

We may update this Cookie Policy when our cookie usage changes. If we introduce a new category that requires consent, the banner will reappear so you can make a fresh choice.
