Cookie and Local Storage Notice
Version:
KAA uses only the cookies and browser storage it needs to work. We use no advertising or cross site tracking cookies, so there is nothing to opt out of.
| Name or type | What it does | How long |
|---|---|---|
| Session cookie | Keeps you signed in securely | Until you sign out, or 30 days after you last used KAA on that device. That is the current period: our security settings can change it, but never to more than 90 days after your last use. For our team it lasts at most 8 hours after sign in |
| Sign up code cookies | Only when email codes are switched on: check your sign up code | 10 minutes, then 30 minutes once confirmed |
| Sign up in progress cookie | While you sign up with an invitation: which sign-up on our server is yours, so your invitation stays held for you and you can continue where you stopped | 30 days, or until you finish signing up |
| Invitation attempts cookie | A random ID for this browser, set when an invitation code is typed, used only to limit wrong codes | 30 days |
| Local storage: language | Remembers Hebrew or English | Until you change it |
| Local storage: accessibility settings | Remembers your accessibility choices, such as text size, contrast and motion | Until you change them |
| Local storage: signed in marker | Lets the map start loading sooner for members | Until you sign out or clear it |
| Local storage: last member | Your member ID, role (member, moderator or admin) and first name, so the app and your saved tabs open at once while your session is checked, and the Face ID lock screen can greet you before anything loads; ignored if the saved tabs belong to someone else | Until you sign out |
| Local storage: saved tabs | Keeps the tabs you opened (places, and the place pages you opened or that were shown in the map's strip, events, community recommendations, people, your trip, and the Emergency screen's hospitals and place names for your island) on this device, so they open at once and work offline | Until you sign out |
| Local storage: plan draft | A "Who's in?" plan you started and did not post yet (the activity, place, meeting point, day, time, spots and who can see it), kept with your saved tabs so the form opens where you left it | Until you post the plan or sign out |
| Local storage: Island content draft | A place or a recommendation you started with "+" and did not send yet (the area, the place's name and details, the spot if you added one, the recommendation's text and linked place; never the photo), kept with your saved tabs so the form opens where you left it | Until you send it or sign out |
| Local storage: driver directory | The island's listed drivers as last read (names and numbers, and your own ratings), so the page opens with no connection | Until you sign out; replaced each time you open the page |
| Local storage: party draft | A villa party or an event you started and did not send yet (the photo, name, link, night and times, address and pin, area, capacity, price, guest approval, dress code, vibe, lineup, description and contact), and your own last party so "Duplicate my last party" is there at once. Kept with your saved tabs. One draft for a villa party and one for an event | Until you send it or sign out |
| Local storage: island picker | Remembers that you have seen the island picker | Until you clear it |
| Local storage: app lock | In the iPhone app, whether Face ID locks KAA (Settings, Security), whether we have offered it, and whether the one time explaining line was shown | Until you change it |
| Session storage: unlocked | In the iPhone app, that you unlocked or signed in, so Face ID is not asked again while you use it, and that this open was counted for the Face ID offer | Until the app closes |
| Session storage: intro | Remembers that the opening animation has played, so it plays once per visit | Until you close the tab |
| Local storage: sign up | Keeps your invitation (link or code), name, email, username, birth date, Instagram and Facebook if you typed them, so you can continue if the app closes in the middle (never your password or photo) | Until you finish signing up, or 7 days |
| Session storage: your new invitation | The invitation you just created (its code, link and when it expires), so the code stays on screen if the page reloads | Until it expires or you close the tab |
| Session storage: sign up steps | Which sign-up screens this tab has already counted, so each is counted once in our own statistics | Until you finish or close the tab |
| Map tiles | The map provider receives your IP address when tiles load in your browser | Set by the provider |
When enabled, place details from Google (ratings, reviews, hours, photos) load on your device from Google when you open a place, so Google sees your IP address and may set its own cookies under its privacy policy.
You can clear cookies and site data in your browser settings at any time. If you block essential cookies, you will not be able to sign in.
If we ever add analytics, we will list it here first and ask for consent where the law requires it.
