Cookie Transparency
Clear information regarding the essential and functional storage technologies that power the Wayheld platform.
Wayheld does not use third-party cross-site advertising cookies or sell browser tracking profiles to data brokers.
We use strictly necessary cookies to keep you signed in, protect against CSRF attacks, and ensure secure payment checkout.
Cookies help remember your preferred units (metric/imperial), map settings, and active journey draft states.
You can manage, restrict, or clear cookies directly within your browser settings at any time.
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, smartphone, or tablet when you visit websites. They are widely used by modern web applications to make websites function efficiently, enhance user navigation, and remember your preferences between sessions.
In this Cookie Policy, we use the term “cookie” to refer to cookies and similar local storage technologies (such as HTML5 `localStorage` and `sessionStorage`) employed on wayheld.com.
We classify the cookies on our platform into three straightforward categories:
These cookies are indispensable for the core operation of Wayheld. They enable secure user login authentication (via NextAuth), session management, CSRF form protection, and secure payment handling. Without these cookies, the service cannot be provided.
These cookies remember your interface choices, such as measurement units (km vs miles), travel pace filters, onboarding step progress, and active map zoom levels so you don’t have to reset them each time you return.
These anonymous cookies help us measure page load speeds, identify API latency issues, and troubleshoot broken links. They collect aggregated data that does not directly identify individual travelers.
The table below details the primary cookies utilized across Wayheld:
| Cookie Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| authjs.session-token | Wayheld / NextAuth | Maintains your authenticated session securely. | 30 Days |
| authjs.csrf-token | Wayheld / NextAuth | Protects against Cross-Site Request Forgery attacks. | Session |
| __stripe_mid / __stripe_sid | Stripe, Inc. | Fraud detection and secure payment processing. | 1 Year / 30 Min |
| wayheld_units_pref | Wayheld | Remembers Metric vs Imperial preference. | 1 Year |
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can configure or modify your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies.
If you choose to reject strictly necessary cookies, you may still access public informational pages of the website, though your ability to log in, compose journeys, and access the member dashboard will be impaired.
For guidance on managing cookies in popular web browsers:
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect technological improvements, security requirements, or regulatory changes. Please revisit this page periodically to remain informed about our use of cookies.
