Cookie Policy

decide sets at most three cookies of its own. The first, decide_session, exists only to keep you signed in between visits - it stores a signed token identifying your account, nothing else. It's marked httpOnly and secure, so it can't be read by page scripts or sent over an unencrypted connection.

This cookie is strictly necessary for the sign-in feature to work at all - it's only set once you actually sign in, and it's not used for advertising, analytics, or tracking you across sites. Under GDPR/ePrivacy rules, strictly-necessary cookies like this one are exempt from requiring consent, which is why decide doesn't show a cookie-consent banner.

The second, decide_voter, is set only when you vote Keep or Skip on a shared trip. It holds a random id, so voting again on the same line changes your vote instead of adding a second one. It says nothing about who you are, is httpOnly, and is used for nothing else.

The third, decide_ref, is set only when you open a friend's invite link. It holds that link's code for up to 30 days, so your first trip can earn you both a free one, and is removed once it has. It is httpOnly and used for nothing else.

A script from Travelpayouts, our travel affiliate partner, marks booking links so that a booking made through them is credited to decide. It may set its own cookies to do that. It is not used for advertising, and nothing about your trip or account is sent to it.

No third-party advertising or analytics cookies, no cross-site tracking pixels, no fingerprinting. Our own usage stats (how many trips were generated, per day/language) are plain aggregate counters with no cookie and nothing tied to you individually - see the Privacy Policy for details.

A few features use your browser's local storage instead of a cookie - your language preference, your currency preference, your recently-viewed trips, and (if you're not signed in) any countries you've marked as visited. None of this is sent to us automatically; it just lives in your own browser until you clear it.
