What are cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember information about your visit (such as your preferred search settings) to make the experience more useful.
How we use cookies
ErasmusCourse currently uses only functional cookies: small pieces of data stored in your browser that are strictly necessary for the platform to work correctly. We do not currently use advertising cookies or third-party tracking cookies.
We also use localStorage (browser storage, not a cookie) to remember your last search (city and dates) so returning visitors see relevant results faster. This data never leaves your browser and is never sent to our servers.
Cookies we set
| Cookie | Purpose | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| session | Maintains your login session if you are signed in to the platform | Functional | Session |
| last_search | Remembers your last destination search (localStorage, not a cookie) | Functional | Persistent (browser) |
Analytics cookies
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use the platform and which pages are most useful. Google Analytics sets cookies to track sessions and page views. This data is processed by Google and subject to Google's Privacy Policy.
Google Analytics data is anonymised and used only for improving the platform. We do not use it for advertising or share it with third parties. You can opt out using the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on or by disabling analytics cookies in your browser settings below.
Managing cookies
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling functional cookies may affect how the platform works. For example, you may be signed out between visits.
