We use only cookies needed to sign you in and keep the site working. No analytics, no advertising. Cookies are small text files stored in your browser.

Some display settings (look, layout of the Race Lab, the Back button's last page) are kept in your browser's own storage (localStorage, sessionStorage), not in cookies; they never leave your device.
Analytics and advertising
None. We use no analytics or advertising cookies. Crash reports (Sentry, see the privacy policy) set no cookies.
Third parties
They set nothing on our domain — only their own cookies on their own domain, and only when you use that feature:
- Google — when you sign in with Google.
- Apple — when you sign in with Apple.
- Revolut — when you pay (Revolut processes the payment).
Satellite map images load from Google's servers (track outlines come from our own server); a few pages embed a YouTube video (privacy-enhanced mode) or a Windy weather map. These load from the provider's servers, which see your IP address, and set nothing on our domain.
How to manage cookies
You can clear cookies in your browser any time (Chrome: Settings → Privacy → Cookies; Safari: Preferences → Privacy; Firefox: Settings → Privacy). Clearing them signs you out.
