Cookie notice and privacy choices

Cookies and similar technologies

The ScaleTrip application has no account-session cookies. Google Analytics 4, AdSense and consent services may use cookies, storage or similar identifiers. Which identifiers are set depends on region, browser choices and the published Google configuration.

Purpose and current advertising state

Google Tag Manager loads the analytics configuration. Page-visit analytics requests were observed on the public site. ScaleTrip queues allowlisted interactions to dataLayer; the published GTM configuration determines which reach GA4. The global AdSense loader, also used for site verification, loads and can support account-side advertising and consent services. ScaleTrip's manually configured page ad slots remain disabled. Account-side automatic ads are managed separately. Cloudflare's analytics beacon was observed on the production site. Google: partner sites · Cloudflare Web Analytics.

Temporary journey navigation storage

ScaleTrip uses tab-scoped sessionStorage to remember the journey direction for the arrival transition. The destination page reads and removes that temporary flag during initialization. This flag contains a direction rather than an account identifier, distance input or email address. Browser storage controls can also clear it; navigation still works when storage is blocked.

Analytics retention settings

On 13 October 2026, the GA4 property receiving ScaleTrip data was configured to retain event-level data for 2 months and user-level data for 14 months, with the user-identifier retention timer resetting on new activity. These settings apply to the data covered by GA4 retention controls; aggregated standard reports follow a separate scope. Other Google services and hosting records follow their own settings and terms. Google: GA4 data retention.

Consent and privacy choices

On 13 October 2026, ScaleTrip’s European-regulations message was confirmed published in AdSense, and Google consent-service resources and a loaded IAB TCF API were observed on the public site. Message delivery and controls depend on location, configuration and browser choices; regional first-visit, acceptance, refusal and withdrawal checks remain part of ongoing verification. Where a message is available, use its consent, refusal and manage-options controls. The footer privacy-choice link opens this guide. A separate privacy-settings button appears when Google’s consent API is ready and reports that European regulations apply; pressing it reopens Google’s message so you can change your decision. Its absence does not establish a consent decision. Regional delivery and signal propagation still require verification. You can also inspect, block or remove this site’s stored data through your browser and manage Google ad preferences below.
