Privacy and data flows

Local 95 starts with no optional storage. One required cookie remembers your privacy choice; preferences and session analytics are enabled only when you choose them.

Your choicePurpose gateLimited storage or recipient

Necessary (required)

Remember your privacy decision and provide catalogue features you explicitly request.

Data: Privacy policy version; Consent choices; Decision time
Storage: Signed first-party l95_privacy cookie; no visitor identifier
Retention: Six months
Recipients: Local 95; Stadia Maps when you explicitly open /map

Preferences

Automatically load map previews and support future convenience settings.

Data: Permission to load optional map previews
Storage: Recorded in the required privacy-choice cookie; no separate preference cookie yet
Retention: Until the privacy choice expires or is changed
Recipients: Local 95; Stadia Maps for automatically loaded previews

Analytics

Measure anonymous aggregate journeys through the catalogue for statistics and tree art.

Data: Normalized route type; Public catalogue slug; Event order and server receipt time
Storage: Signed browser-session cookie plus pseudonymous navigation rows in PostgreSQL
Retention: Session-level paths: 90 days; anonymous daily nodes and edges: indefinite
Recipients: Local 95 only

Navigation analytics

With Analytics enabled, Local 95 links normalized pages within a short pseudonymous browser session. Sessions rotate after 30 minutes without activity. We do not put query strings, search terms, selected map locations, coordinates, referrers, IP addresses, or browser fingerprints in analytics tables. Session paths are deleted after 90 days; daily page and transition totals contain no session identifier and may be kept for statistics and tree art.

Withdrawing Analytics deletes the identifiable current raw session when it is still available and stops collection. Counts already incorporated into anonymous aggregates remain.

Maps

Opening the dedicated map is an explicit request, so its Stadia basemap loads under Necessary only. Detail-page previews load automatically with Preferences; otherwise, “Load map once” makes only that one request and stores no preference. Stadia receives ordinary network request information such as an IP address and browser headers.
