What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit. They allow the site to remember information about your visit — such as whether you're logged in — making your next visit easier and the site more useful to you.
Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the Site to function. They cannot be disabled without breaking core functionality such as logging in or completing a purchase.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| better-auth.session_token | Authenticates your session so you remain logged in between page loads. Set by our authentication system (Better Auth) after you sign in. | 4 hours |
| better-auth.csrf_token | Protects against Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks by verifying that form submissions originate from our Site. | Session |
| cf_clearance | Set by Cloudflare Turnstile to verify you are a real person when submitting forms (contact, sign-in, checkout). Helps protect the Site against bots and abuse. | Up to 30 min |
Third-Party Cookies — Payment Processing
When you proceed to checkout, our payment provider Stripe sets cookies on your device. These are required to process your payment securely and detect fraud. Roaming Kiwi does not control these cookies.
Stripe — stripe.com
Stripe sets cookies to remember your payment session, prevent fraudulent transactions, and (if you save a card) identify your browser on your next visit. These cookies are subject to Stripe's Cookie Settings and Privacy Policy.
Stripe cookies are only set when you visit the checkout page.
Analytics
We use Rybbit, a self-hosted, privacy-focused analytics tool, to understand how visitors use our Site. Rybbit does not set any cookies on your device.
Rybbit processes your IP address to determine your approximate location (country level) but does not store it or link it to your identity. All analytics data is aggregated and cannot be used to identify individual visitors.
Analytics data is not shared with any third party — it stays on our own infrastructure. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies of any kind.
Advertising Cookies
We do not use advertising or tracking cookies. We do not sell your data to advertisers or allow third-party ad networks to set cookies on our Site.
How to Control Cookies
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- View and delete cookies currently stored on your device
- Block all cookies from all sites or specific sites
- Set preferences for cookies on a site-by-site basis
Please note that blocking essential cookies will prevent you from logging in or completing a purchase on our Site.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time as we add or remove features. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
