Cookies

What TravCrew stores in your browser and why.

Last updated: 4 November 2026

The short version

TravCrew only uses necessary cookies: to keep you signed in, remember your language and keep you safe.
There are no advertising, statistics or tracking cookies, and none from other companies.
That is why we do not show a cookie banner: the law does not require one for necessary cookies.
Some preferences are stored only in your browser, not on TravCrew.
If you pay, Lemon Squeezy sets its own cookies in the payment window.

The summary helps you understand; the full text below is what counts.

What a cookie is

A tiny file that a website stores in your browser to remember something, for example that you are already signed in.

TravCrew's cookies

Name	What it is for	How long it lasts
`thq_sid`	Keep you signed in, so you do not have to sign in every time.	90 days, or until you sign out
`thq_lang`	Remember your language.	1 year
`thq_pre`	Security for forms before you sign in (stops fake requests).	1 hour
`thq_oauth_state`	Security when signing in with Google or Discord.	10 minutes
`thq_hook_state`	Security when connecting your alliance's Discord channel.	10 minutes
`thq_return`	Which page to go back to after signing in.	10 minutes
`thq_season`	Which alliance and server you are looking at.	1 year
`thq_demo`	The demo mode session (only if you open it).	1 day
`thq_panel`	Only for the TravCrew administrator: confirms they opened their panel with a second password.	8 hours, or until closed

They all belong to TravCrew, only travel to travcrew.com and cannot be used to follow you on other sites. The ones about your session cannot be read by the page (only by the server) and, with https, travel encrypted.

What stays in your browser

TravCrew also stores some preferences in your browser (this is called "local storage"):

which sidebar groups you left folded;
your raiding timers;
what you were typing in some forms, so it does not get lost;
how you sorted a table, which tab or period you chose and what you highlighted on the map;
whether you already allowed sound and which chat messages you read.

That stays only in your browser: TravCrew does not receive it. It is deleted if you clear the site data in your browser.

Other companies' cookies

There are none on TravCrew. There are two moments when you are on someone else's page:

When paying: the payment window belongs to Lemon Squeezy and it may set its cookies (for the payment and against fraud).
When signing in with Google or Discord: you go to their page and their cookies apply there.

Lemon Squeezy privacy policy

Why there is no cookie banner

The law (in Europe, the ePrivacy directive) only requires consent for cookies that are not necessary. All of TravCrew's cookies are strictly necessary for the service you ask for. If we ever add another one, we will ask for your permission first.

How to delete them

From your browser settings. If you delete the session cookie, you have to sign in again. Without cookies you cannot sign in to TravCrew.
