Cookie Policy
Last updated: 20 April 2026
In short
Hiking3000 uses only strictly necessary cookies and local storage to operate the site. No advertising cookies, no third-party trackers active at launch.
Google Analytics (GA4) will be offered later with explicit consent. Until activated, no data is sent to third-party services other than those you directly interact with (Garmin widgets, Meteoblue, YouTube embeds in articles).
Essential cookies (no consent required)
sb-access-token / sb-refresh-token
Supabase session cookies. Set only if you create an account and log in. Lifetime: 1 hour (access) and 1 month (refresh). Required for authentication.
Local storage
We use browser localStorage to remember display preferences. Nothing is sent to our servers:
hiking3000.banner.dismissed.<id>
Remembers that you dismissed an announcement banner. Stores just "1".
hiking3000.cookies.ack
Remembers that you acknowledged this page. Stores just "1".
Third-party widgets in articles
Some articles embed external widgets. They are loaded only when you view an article that contains them. They may set their own cookies according to their own policy:
- YouTube (via
youtube-nocookie.comto limit third-party cookies), Google Ireland - Garmin Connect (GPS tracks), Garmin International
- Meteoblue (weather widgets), Meteoblue AG (Switzerland)
- OpenStreetMap (basemaps), OpenStreetMap Foundation
To prevent them from loading, block them in your browser or through a content blocker such as uBlock Origin.
How to control
- Session cookies: if you do not create an account, no Supabase cookie is set. You can log out at any time from your profile (clears the cookies).
- localStorage: clear it from your browser settings (every browser offers a "Clear site data" option).
- Third-party widgets: block them individually with a content blocker, or avoid articles that embed them.
