Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember your preferences and maintain your session between page loads. Some are essential for login and payment; others are optional and used for analytics or advertising.

These cookies are required for DrivewayNights to function. They cannot be disabled without breaking sign-in and booking:

Your light/dark theme preference is stored in localStorage under dwn_theme - not a cookie - so it stays on your device and is never sent to our servers.

Two analytics tools, with very different cookie footprints:

• Plausible - our core visit counting. Cookie-free and consent-exempt: it sets nothing on your device and collects no personal data. Runs for every visitor.
• Google Analytics 4 - used to understand how our advertising performs. It loads onlyif you choose "Accept all" on the cookie banner, and sets the _ga and _ga_*cookies (lifetime up to 13 months) to recognise repeat visits. Choose "Essential only" and nothing from Google ever loads.

Stripe may set cookies during the payment and identity verification process. These are governed by Stripe's Privacy Policy.

You can manage cookies through your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies will prevent you from signing in or making bookings. Most browsers allow you to:

• View what cookies are set.
• Delete individual or all cookies.
• Block cookies from specific or all sites.
• Block third-party cookies.

We may update this cookie policy if we introduce new cookies or change how existing ones are used. The "last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be announced via email to registered users.
