1. What are cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website. They let the site remember you across pages and visits. Modern equivalents — local storage, session storage, mobile-app keychain entries — work the same way and are covered by this notice.
2. What we use them for
- Strictly necessary — in the app, to keep you logged in, hold your booking through checkout and prevent fraud; on the website, to remember your answer on the cookie banner.
- Preference — in the app, your language and dark/light mode; on the website, that you closed the note offering this page in your language.
- Ad measurement — in the app, optional and off until you allow it: Meta’s app-events software, to measure our own ads (section 6).
- Campaign link — on the website, for one visit: how you arrived, so the App Store and Google Play links on the site can say which campaign or search engine brought you.
- Measurement — on the website, optional: count visits and see which pages and links bring people to the app.
Measurement uses Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics, and only if you accept. Until you answer the banner, and if you decline, the website does not load them at all: it requests nothing from Google and sends Google nothing, with or without cookies. (Following a link to one of Google’s own sites, such as Google Play, takes you to Google, under its own policy.) If you press accept, the website loads Google Tag Manager, which runs Google Analytics; Google Analytics then sets the cookies listed in section 3. On later visits it loads again only while that answer stands. If you change an earlier accept to decline, the site deletes the Google Analytics cookies already on your device and reloads any of its pages open in your browser on which Google’s tools are running, so they stop there. As such a page closes, it may still send Google one last signal, without cookies. Declining changes nothing else on the site.
The website loads no advertising tags. We do not sell your data, and we do not run tags from companies we have not named in this notice.
3. What the website stores
The website sets no cookies of its own. It keeps these entries in your browser’s storage:
dn_consent(local storage) — your answer on the cookie banner, when you gave it, and which version of the banner you answered. Strictly necessary. We ask again after 6 months, or sooner if what the banner asks changes; until then it stays until you clear this site’s data.daynight.attribution.v1(session storage) — how this visit arrived: the campaign code in the link you followed (for example a printed QR code), or the kind of site that sent you (Google, Bing, Yandex or another site, never its address), or neither; plus the page you landed on and its language. It is added to the App Store and Google Play links on the site, and to a partner application if you send one. It holds no name, email address or phone number, and it is deleted when you close the tab. It works whatever you answer on the cookie banner, because it holds no identifier and lasts one visit. If you follow a store link, the store receives these codes as part of that link, whatever your answer. Only if you have accepted may Google Analytics also record the address of a store link you click, these codes included.daynight.languageHint.dismissed(local storage) — that you closed the note offering this page in your language. Preference. It stays until you clear this site’s data.- Only after you accept: Google Analytics cookies on daynighteg.com (
_ga,_ga_*), typically kept for up to 2 years, or until you change your answer to decline (the site then deletes them).
4. Third-party cookies
- Google — Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics, loaded on the website only after you accept; Google Analytics then sets the measurement cookies in section 3. Before you answer, and if you decline, neither is loaded. Google’s own privacy policy applies to what it receives.
- Our payment provider sets cookies on its checkout iframe in the app to authenticate the card transaction. These are governed by the provider's own privacy notice.
- Meta (Facebook, Instagram) — Meta’s app-events software in the app, started only if you allow ad measurement (section 6). Meta’s own privacy policy applies to what it receives. The website loads nothing from Meta.
- Apple / Google may set cookies if you sign in with their identity providers — only on the sign-in screen, only at your initiation.
5. How to control them
Most browsers let you block or delete cookies and other site data in their settings. On daynighteg.com that clears the entries in section 3 (the banner then asks again); nothing else on the website depends on them. The website has no sign-in and takes no payments: those happen in the app.
On daynighteg.com, use “cookie settings” at the bottom of any page to change your answer at any time. Accept loads Google’s measurement tools from then on; decline stops them and deletes their cookies (section 2).
6. Mobile app trackers
The daynight app contains Meta’s app-events software (Facebook and Instagram), used only to measure how our own ads perform. It is off until you agree: on iPhone, only if you choose Allow when Apple’s App Tracking Transparency prompt asks; on Android, only if you tap Allow in the app’s one-time question. Until then, and if you say no, the app does not start it and sends Meta nothing.
What it sends if you allow it, and how to switch it off, is in our Privacy Policy (section 8). The app contains no other advertising or cross-app tracking software.
