Cookie Policy
Last updated [DATE]
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use three categories, in line with the TTDSG's consent requirement for anything beyond strictly necessary cookies.
1. Necessary (always on, no consent needed)
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Cookie-consent record | Remembers your cookie choices so we don't ask every visit | 12 months |
2. Analytics (requires your consent)
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| [Plausible / Fathom — to be set up] | Anonymous, privacy-friendly page-view counts. No cross-site tracking, no personal profile. | [per provider] |
3. Affiliate / marketing (requires your consent)
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| [Wise / Remitly / partner tracking cookies — added as partnerships go live] | Attributes a signup to Route Europa so we can earn the disclosed affiliate commission — see Affiliate Disclosure | [per partner] |
Not yet implemented: a proper consent-management banner (e.g. Cookiebot, Complianz, or Iubenda) needs to be installed before any analytics or affiliate cookie actually fires — right now no such cookies are live on this template. Consent must be opt-in, with equal-weight "Accept" and "Reject" buttons (no dark patterns).
How to change your choice
Once the consent banner is live, you'll be able to reopen your cookie preferences at any time via a "Cookie settings" link in the footer. Until then, you can block cookies at the browser level — see your browser's privacy settings.
