# Cookie Policy

**Effective date:** 6 November 2026. This policy explains what realromania.info stores on your device and which outside services can set cookies, and how to change your choices at any time.

## Who we are

realromania.info is published by Asociația Curaj Înainte (fiscal code 39175610), Str. Hagi Ghiță 17, Sector 1, 011501 București, Romania. Questions: [contact@realromania.info](mailto:contact@realromania.info).

## What we store ourselves

We set no advertising or tracking cookies. The site keeps a few small items in your browser’s local storage, only on your device, to work as you expect. They need no consent under Law no. 506/2004.

| Name | Purpose | Kept for |
| --- | --- | --- |
| rr-consent | Remembers your choices about videos, maps and statistics | 12 months, then we ask again |
| rr-theme | Remembers whether you chose the light or the dark theme | Until you clear it |
| rr-geo-cache | Stores map coordinates for places you looked up in the route planner, so they load faster next time | Until you clear it |
| wordpress_*, wp-settings-* | Login and editor settings, for the site’s editors only | Session to 14 days |

## Videos and maps — only if you allow them

Some content comes from other services. Nothing is loaded from them until you choose “Allow all”, tick “Videos and maps”, or press a “Load map” or “Play video” button. Once loaded, these providers receive your IP address and may set their own cookies, under their own privacy policies.

| Service | Used for | Provider |
| --- | --- | --- |
| YouTube (youtube-nocookie.com) | The film on the home page and videos in articles | Google Ireland Ltd. |
| Google Maps | The route planner, itinerary maps, the wine and gastronomy maps | Google Ireland Ltd. |
| OpenStreetMap | Map tiles for the transhumance map | OpenStreetMap Foundation |
| GitHub Pages | The photo map on the home page | GitHub, Inc. |

## Statistics — only if you allow them

If you tick “Statistics”, we load Google Analytics 4 to count visits and see which pages are useful. It sets the cookies `_ga` and `_ga_*` (up to 2 years). Google acts as our processor. If you do not allow statistics, Google Analytics is never loaded.

## Changing your choices

Use “Privacy settings” at the bottom of every page, or the button below. You can also delete local storage and cookies from your browser settings; the site will ask again.

## Changes to this policy

If we add or remove a service, we update this page and the effective date above.
