A cookie is a small text file a website asks your browser to store. Cookies let us recognise you across pages, keep your session alive and remember useful preferences, without asking you to sign in on every page load.
Cookie categories we use
- Essential: required for the Service to work — authentication and session continuity. These cannot be switched off without breaking sign-in.
- Functional: remember convenience state such as your recent searches. Optional; clearing them only costs you the convenience.
- Analytics: aggregate, non-identifying page metrics, and only where an analytics measurement ID is configured for the deployment. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies, and we do not sell cookie data.
Cookies we set
| Name | Purpose | Duration | Category |
|---|---|---|---|
| as_session | Holds your signed session token after sign-in so you stay authenticated across pages. Without it every /app page would ask you to sign in again. | 1 hour (refreshed in the background while you are active) | Essential |
| as_refresh | Refresh token used to obtain a new session token without re-entering your password. Enables the "stay signed in" behaviour. | 60 days | Essential |
| recent_searches | Remembers your last few rate searches so they can be offered as quick links. Airport pairs and weights only — no personal data. | Until you clear browser storage | Functional |
Third-party cookies
Stripe sets its own cookies on the checkout and billing-portal pages it hosts, for fraud prevention and to keep your payment session. Those pages are Stripe's, governed by Stripe's privacy policy. Where analytics is enabled for a deployment, Google Analytics sets measurement cookies. No other third party sets cookies through our pages.
How to control cookies
- Every major browser can block or delete cookies per site — usually under Settings → Privacy.
- Blocking essential cookies will prevent sign-in; the rest of the public site keeps working.
- Signing out clears your session and refresh cookies immediately.
Changes to this Policy
If we add or remove a cookie, this table and the "last updated" date change with it.
