What cookies and local storage are
A cookie is a small file a site stores in your browser, which the browser sends back on every visit. Local storage (localStorage) is similar, but it stays on your device and does not travel with each request. Both are used to remember things between visits.
What this site stores
This site sets no cookies of its own: the analytics and advertising cookies are Google's and are only set if you accept (below). For the features you use, it can keep these values in your browser. They are not cookies: this is storage the feature you use needs, and it does not travel with each request. The two account keys (asv:cuenta and asv:trip-sync) only exist if you sign in to your "My trip" account, and asv:cuenta is only used to talk to the account service while you are signed in. With an account, your trip (asv:trip, asv:trip-days and asv:trip-route) is also saved in it; without one, none of this leaves your device. The first seven go in local storage (localStorage) and stay until you delete them or sign out; the last two, in session storage (sessionStorage), which the browser deletes when you close the tab:
| Key | Purpose | Lasts |
|---|---|---|
| asv:trip | The places you save to "My trip". | Until you remove them or clear the site's data. |
| asv:trip-days | The route days of each place you save from a route, to order it in "My trip". | Until you remove those places or clear the site's data. |
| asv:trip-route | The start and end of your trip and the days you arrange by hand in "My trip", if you change them. | Until you change them or clear the site's data. |
| asv:consent | Your decision about analytics and advertising cookies, if you make one. | Until you change it or clear the site's data. |
| asv:idioma | The language you choose in the language selector (Spanish or English), to open the home page in that language when you go to asesordeviaje.com without a language. | Until you choose another language or clear the site's data. |
| asv:cuenta | Your session in your "My trip" account, if you sign in: your email, your account identifier and the access credentials (one that expires within an hour and another that renews it while you keep using the account). It is only used to talk to the account service. | Until you sign out, delete your account or clear the site's data. |
| asv:trip-sync | The state of the sync of "My trip" with your account: the last version the account confirmed and whether there are changes to upload. | Until you sign out (if your trip is saved in your account), delete your account or clear the site's data. |
| asv:map-view | Whether you see a map's places as a map or as a list. Outside the country maps, the key carries the page's address after it (asv:map-view:/…). | Until you close the tab (session storage). |
| asv:cuenta-comprobada | That your session was checked with the account service a moment ago, so it is not asked on every page: your account identifier and until when that check counts (5 minutes). | Until you close the tab (session storage). |
Google Analytics cookies
We use Google Analytics 4, from Google LLC, to measure visits to the guide, only with your consent: without it, its tag does not load and sets no cookies. In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland you decide in Google's message; in the rest of the world, in our notice: "Accept" loads it and sets these cookies; "Essentials only" does not load it. If you withdraw your consent, the tag stops loading on the following pages. We do not use its advertising features.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Lasts |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google LLC (Google Analytics) | Tell visitors apart. | 2 years |
| _ga_1525ZE5SJ3 | Google LLC (Google Analytics) | Keep the session state. | 2 years |
Google cookies in advertising
We show Google AdSense ads to keep the guide free, always labelled "Advertisement". Google's code loads when each page opens, without requesting ads until you decide, and its services may set cookies and use identifiers from your device. In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland you decide in Google's message, a consent platform certified by Google that uses IAB Europe's TCF framework and saves your decision in your browser. In the rest of the world you decide in our cookie notice: with "Accept" the ads are shown and their cookies are turned on; with "Essentials only" no ads are shown and nothing from Google loads on the following pages. If Google's message cannot load (for instance, because of a blocker), our notice asks you.
| Provider | Purpose | More information |
|---|---|---|
| Google LLC (AdSense) | Show ads, limit how often you see one, measure performance and, depending on your Google settings, personalise them. | Google advertising technologies |
| Google LLC (AdSense partners) | Data about your visit that Google may share with its advertising partners. | How Google uses information from sites that use its services |
Maps
The guide's maps set no cookies. When shown, they request their images from Stadia Maps, which sees your IP address as any server does when your browser asks it for a file. The waitlist confirmation and unsubscribe pages store nothing in your browser.
Changing your decision
"Manage cookies", at the foot of every page, and the button below reopen the notice where you decided: Google's message in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, and our notice in the rest of the world. Any cookies Google has already set can be deleted from your browser settings. If you withdraw your consent in our notice, the site also deletes the _ga and _ga_* cookies from your browser.
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you clear this site's data, you will lose your "My trip" list in this browser and be signed out of your account, if you had one; what is saved in your account comes back when you sign in again.
