Cookie Policy
Last updated: April 2026
ScanTheGap uses essential cookies only — no tracking, no advertising, no analytics. This page explains exactly what is used and why.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the website remember information about your visit. Even without setting cookies, some services receive your IP address when your browser loads resources — such as fonts — from their servers. We explain all of these below.
2. Cookies We Use
ScanTheGap sets three essential cookies only. All are strictly necessary — the site cannot function correctly without them.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration | Legal Basis |

| XSRF-TOKEN | Security token — prevents cross-site request forgery attacks | Session end | Legitimate interest — essential security (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) |
| cookie_consent | Remembers your cookie consent choice | 1 year | Legitimate interest — required to honour your choice (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) |
3. Third-Party Services and Data Transfers
Even without setting cookies, the following services receive your IP address and basic browser information when your browser loads resources from their servers. All providers below are based in the EU or operate under GDPR-compliant agreements.
