Cookie Policy
Last updated: 5 July 2026
This policy explains how The Sauna Map uses cookies and similar technologies, in line with the EU ePrivacy rules and GDPR.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device that let a website remember information about your visit, such as your sign-in state or preferences.
Cookies we use
| Type | Purpose | Consent required? |
|---|---|---|
| Authentication (set by our sign-in provider, Clerk) | Keeps you securely signed in to your account | No — strictly necessary |
| Preference cookies (e.g. sidebar/layout state) | Remembers small UI preferences between visits | No — strictly necessary |
We do not currently use analytics, advertising, or third-party marketing cookies. If that changes in the future, we will update this page and ask for your consent before setting any non-essential cookies.
Managing cookies
Because we only use strictly necessary cookies, they cannot be switched off without breaking core functionality like staying signed in. You can still clear or block cookies at any time through your browser settings, though this may log you out or reset preferences.
