Transparency

Last updated: 15/01/2024

Here at Rutas de Nico, we want to be as transparent as possible. That's why we've documented every user data we personally collect. We believe that it is every client's right to be able to list all of its data.
Note that we use third party content providers (cloudfare, google...) who may collect some additional data.

What cookies do we use?

We use cookies to store minimal user information authentication information such as your favorite language. If you sign out of your account, Rutas de Nico will still show in your language and not the default language (Spanish). 

Cookie name Description

excu  Stores hike related data. 

LocalStorage

In order to prevent high data transfer (and reduce your cellular data usage), we store some content directly on-device. This content lets us load this website faster and reduce internet traffic making a better user experience. 

Name Description
excus  Stores crucial content for "related hikes" section on POI pages.
poi  Stores crucial content for POI in map tracks. 
status  Stores RDN status information and manages localStorage custom expiration

 We no longer use localStorage to store user data due to its many limitations.

Indexed DB

Unfortunately, localStorage has its limitations. It is not really secure and has a maximum size limit. We store content on your computer's indexedDB to ensure a better user experience. 

We get it, we don't want an unnecessary application taking all our device storage. That's why we don't save every information of our online database into your computer. Instead, we just save esencial content, we promise!

You can erase (almost) all our content and reset Rutas de Nico by following this link.

One of our goals is to create a tool to help you manage your stored content. We'll keep you informed if you've created an account.

Cache

Last but not least, the cache. It's an automatic process which stores images, scripts and sometime even webpages in your browser. We can't really control it but don't worry, it usually takes around ≈200 Mo of device storage for all webpages. 


You can erase all content stored in your device by clicking on this link. Note that this doesn't affect cache, as we personally haven't fount (yet) a way to clear it. If you wish to clear all your device's cache, visit your browser's settings.
