This Cookie Policy explains how Pixelo Mobile Ltd (trading as Walk Via Francigena) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit walkviafrancigena.com. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device to remember information between visits — for example, that you are logged in, or which language you prefer. Similar technologies include localStorage and sessionStorage, which we also use.
When you first visit the site you are asked to either "Accept all" cookies or use "Essential only". You can change your preference at any time by clicking the button below:
The button deletes your stored choice, so that the banner asks you again, and deletes the analytics cookies listed in section 3 that this site has already set in your browser, together with the copy the analytics software keeps in your browser's storage, and any invite code kept in your browser (section 3). It does not sign you out, and it cannot delete what the analytics services have already received.
Your preference is stored in the lw-cookie-consent item in your browser's localStorage. Clearing your browser data will also clear it and re-prompt you.
Essential cookies are required for the site to function and are set regardless of your consent choice:
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
lw_admin_jwt | Admin authentication (only if you log in to the operator admin) | 30 min |
lw_admin_refresh | Admin session refresh | 8 hours |
lw-cookie-consent | Remembers your cookie choice | Permanent (until cleared) |
walktorome-tokens | Login session: a short-lived access token and when your session ends | Permanent (until logout) |
lw_member_refresh | Keeps you signed in by renewing your login session. An HttpOnly cookie set by our server; page scripts cannot read it | 3 days, renewed while you use the site; removed at logout |
walktorome-user | Cached user profile for instant page render | Permanent (until logout) |
walktorome-lang | Language preference | Permanent (until cleared) |
lw_lang_prompted | Remembers whether we've asked about language | Permanent (until cleared) |
walktorome-is-provider | Caches whether you're a provider (for menu rendering) | Permanent (until logout) |
Some pages also keep small items in your browser's localStorage or sessionStorage for a feature you are using, such as a form you have started or a tip you have closed. They are used only for that feature, never for analytics or advertising, and clearing this site's data in your browser removes them.
Invite code — if you open an invite link (a link with ?ref=), we can keep its code in the walktorome-referral item of your browser's localStorage, so that if you sign up within 30 days we can record who invited you. We keep it only if you click "Accept all" (and your browser does not send Do Not Track), or once you start filling in our sign-up form, because the sign-up then needs it. Until then the code stays only in the open page, and the invite page passes it to the sign-up form in its link. It is removed when you sign up, and our pages delete it once it is 30 days old, the next time you open one of them.
Analytics cookies — Google Analytics (Google LLC), set only after you click "Accept all", and never while your browser sends Do Not Track (section 5). It records which pages you view, the page you came from, your browser and device type, and your approximate location, worked out from your IP address. We do not send it your name, email address or account details.
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
_ga | Google Analytics — a random ID that tells repeat visits apart | 2 years |
_ga_* | Google Analytics — keeps the current visit together | 2 years |
Marketing cookies — none. We do not run a tracking pixel, retargeting, or advertising ID on the website.
Some pages load content from other companies, which receive your IP address and may set their own cookies:
See the Subprocessors section of our Privacy Policy for the services we use, and Map tiles from OpenStreetMap for the maps.
We treat a browser-level DNT: 1 (Do Not Track) signal as "Essential only": the analytics in section 3 do not load in a browser that sends it, even if you clicked "Accept all" before. We run no marketing tracking.
