Cookies and storage

What Ridden keeps on your device, why, and for how long.

Ridden shows no cookie banner, and that is not an oversight. We only use what the site needs to work: no tracking, no advertising. Visitor statistics are counted without cookies and without keeping anything that can be traced to you. For functional cookies and statistics like these the law requires that we tell you about them, on this page, not that we ask permission.

Cookies

Language choice1 year

Remembers whether you read the site in English or Dutch, so you don't have to pick again every visit.

Sign-in session30 days

Keeps you signed in. Only set if you have an account and sign in.

AppUntil you close the app

Remembers that you're using Ridden in the Android app, where nothing can be bought.

Storage in your browser

Not cookies, but still kept on your device. None of it is ever sent to us — it stays in your browser.

Theme preferenceUntil you clear it

Whether you want the site light or dark.

Profile picture cacheUntil you close the tab

Stops us fetching your profile picture again and again within one visit.

Onboarding draftUntil you finish the welcome flow

Keeps the parks, visit dates and rides you picked during the welcome flow, so a closed tab does not lose them. Removed when you finish the flow.

Assistant conversationUntil you close the tab

Keeps your conversation with the assistant and its number in this tab, so a reload does not lose it. The conversation goes along with a question, so the assistant knows what you were talking about.

Assistant: do not keepUntil you clear it

Remembers that you ticked "Do not keep this conversation", so it stays off on your next visit.

What third parties see

A few parts of the site are served by others. They set no cookies, but they do see your IP address — unavoidably, because your browser fetches those files straight from them.

  • Image CDN — serves the park and ride photos
  • Map tiles — only on pages with a map
  • Typefaces — serves the site's fonts
  • Database and sign-in system — hosted in the EU
  • Video thumbnails — only for videos creators link to rides; the video itself does not play on Ridden
  • Visitor statistics — from our hosting provider: counts page views and visitors without cookies; your IP address is not kept
  • Partner links — only when you click one: you leave Ridden and the seller records which site you came from, possibly with a cookie on its own site. Ridden itself sets nothing for this

Clearing them yourself

Everything above can be cleared from your browser settings, under site data for ridden.club. You will be signed out and your language and theme go back to the default. The site keeps working.

If this changes

The moment anything arrives that does set cookies or follows you across sites, the picture changes: consent up front becomes required and a choice screen appears. This page will be updated before anything like that goes live.
