Cookie Policy

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They let a site remember your actions and preferences so you don't have to re-enter them. We also use similar technologies such as local storage.

How we use them

• Essential: keeping you signed in, securing your session, and remembering your selected language and currency.
• Preferences: remembering display choices such as your map theme.
• Analytics: understanding which features are used so we can improve the product (aggregated and non-identifying where possible).
• Payments: Stripe sets cookies needed to process subscriptions securely.

Essential vs optional

Essential cookies are required for the site to function and cannot be switched off through the product. Optional cookies (such as analytics) are used only to improve LightTheMap and are not used to sell your data.

Managing cookies

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings, and most browsers let you block cookies entirely. Note that blocking essential cookies may prevent you from signing in or using core features such as lighting cities.
