Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Last Updated: March 15, 2026

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give website owners useful information about how their site is being used.

Cookies can be "session" cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or "persistent" cookies, which remain on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them manually.

2. Essential Cookies We Use

TripNextDoor uses a limited number of essential cookies that are strictly necessary for the Platform to function correctly. These cookies cannot be disabled without significantly impacting your experience. The essential cookies we use are:

2.1 Session Cookie (_trip_next_door_web_key)

This cookie is used for session management. It keeps you logged in as you navigate between pages and ensures that your session remains secure. This is a session cookie that is deleted when you close your browser.

2.2 CSRF Protection Token (_csrf_token)

This cookie provides cross-site request forgery (CSRF) protection. It helps ensure that form submissions and other actions on the Platform originate from your browser session and not from a malicious third party. This is a critical security measure that protects your account from unauthorized actions.

2.3 Cookie Consent (cookie_consent)

This cookie stores your cookie preferences. It remembers whether you have accepted or declined non-essential cookies so that you are not asked repeatedly. This is a persistent cookie that remains on your device for up to 12 months.

3. Analytics Cookies

TripNextDoor does not currently use any analytics or tracking cookies. We do not use tools such as Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any similar third-party tracking services at this time.

If we introduce analytics cookies in the future, we will update this Cookie Policy before activating them and will provide you with clear information about what data they collect and how it is used. You will be given the option to accept or decline analytics cookies through our cookie consent mechanism.

4. How to Manage Cookies

You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

  • View the cookies stored on your device.
  • Delete all cookies or specific cookies.
  • Block all cookies or cookies from specific websites.
  • Set your browser to notify you when a cookie is being set.

The process for managing cookies varies by browser. Here are links to cookie management instructions for common browsers:

  • Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data
  • Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
  • Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
  • Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data

5. Impact of Disabling Cookies

If you choose to disable or block the essential cookies used by TripNextDoor, please be aware that the following functionality will be affected:

  • Session management will not work: You will not be able to stay logged in. Each page navigation may require you to log in again, making the Platform effectively unusable for authenticated features.
  • Authentication will fail: Without the session cookie, the Platform cannot verify your identity, so you will be unable to access your account, trips, communities, or any personalized features.
  • CSRF protection will be disabled: Without the CSRF token cookie, form submissions (such as creating trips, updating settings, or submitting expenses) will be rejected by the server for security reasons.
  • Cookie preferences will not be saved: Without the cookie consent cookie, you may be prompted to set your cookie preferences on every visit.

We strongly recommend keeping essential cookies enabled for the best experience on TripNextDoor.

6. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. When we make changes:

  • We will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.
  • For significant changes, such as the introduction of new cookie categories, we will notify you through the Platform or via email.

We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
