Cookie Policy

This page explains the cookies Hereabouts uses. We keep this deliberately minimal: the site sets one strictly necessary cookie when you sign in, and no advertising or profiling cookies.

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These are required for the service to work and cannot be switched off through our site.

Name	Purpose	Duration
access_token	Keeps you signed in to your Hereabouts account. httpOnly and SameSite=Lax, and only sent over HTTPS in production.	Up to 7 days, or until you log out

Analytics and Advertising

We do not use third-party advertising, profiling or cross-site tracking cookies, and we do not run third-party analytics scripts. If we introduce privacy-respecting analytics in future, we will update this page first.

Managing Cookies

You can delete or block cookies in your browser settings. Blocking the access_token cookie will sign you out and prevent you from staying signed in, but the public parts of the site will continue to work.
