Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide information to site owners.

2. How We Use Cookies

Trip on Rails uses cookies for the following purposes:

Essential cookies

These cookies are required for the Service to function and cannot be disabled. They include:

• Authentication cookies — managed by Clerk to keep you signed in
• Session cookies — to maintain your session state

Analytics cookies

We use Vercel Analytics to understand how visitors interact with the Service. These cookies collect anonymous usage data such as pages visited and time spent on the site.

Preference cookies

These cookies remember your preferences, such as your selected theme (light or dark mode) and sidebar state.

3. Third-Party Cookies

Some third-party services integrated into the Service may set their own cookies:

• Clerk — authentication session management
• Google Maps — map functionality and preferences
• Stripe — fraud prevention during payment processing
• Vercel — analytics and performance monitoring

4. Managing Cookies

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

• View what cookies are stored and delete them individually
• Block third-party cookies
• Block cookies from specific sites
