Cookie Policy
Last updated: 13 September 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Yipi GmbH ("Yipi", "we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit yipi.life.
A cookie is a small text file placed on your device when you visit a website. Cookies help websites work correctly, remember your preferences, and provide analytics information to site owners. Some cookies are essential for the site to function, while others are used to improve your experience or help us understand how our site is used.
You can manage your cookie preferences at any time by clicking .
Strictly Necessary Cookies
Always activeThese cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They are set in response to actions you take, such as logging in, making a payment, or using the location-based map search. You can set your browser to block these cookies, but some parts of the site may not work as a result.

| m | Device fingerprinting for Stripe fraud prevention. | 2 years | Stripe |
| No cookie | Google Maps renders the search map and each provider's location map. It stores no cookies for this; while a map is shown, your browser sends your IP address and the requested map area to Google. Maps is a core feature of the platform. | — | Google Maps |
| _GRECAPTCHA | Set by Google reCAPTCHA Enterprise (Firebase App Check) to tell real browsers from bots and protect our booking, messaging and payment APIs from abuse. | 6 months | |

| yipi_consent | Stores your cookie consent preferences so we don't ask again. | 1 year (localStorage) | Yipi |
| No cookie | Error monitoring — automatically captures technical crash reports (stack traces, browser and OS version, anonymous user ID, and page URL) to help us detect and fix problems that affect service reliability and security. No personal data is transmitted. Data is sent as an HTTP request to sentry.io; Sentry does not set cookies or use local storage. | Session (HTTP only) | Sentry (Functional Software, Inc.) |
Analytics Cookies
OptionalThese cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. We use Firebase Analytics (powered by Google Analytics 4). If you decline analytics cookies, we will not know when you have visited our site and will not be able to monitor its performance.
| Name | Purpose | Duration | Provider |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Registers a unique ID to generate statistics about how you use the website. | 2 years | Google Analytics |
| _ga_[ID] | Used by Google Analytics to persist session state and track user sessions. | 2 years | Google Analytics |
| _gid | Registers a unique ID used to generate statistical data on how you use the website. | 24 hours | Google Analytics |
Marketing Cookies
OptionalThese cookies are set by the Meta Pixel (Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd.) and let us measure how well our advertising works and show you more relevant ads on Facebook and Instagram. They are only set if you enable marketing cookies — we do not load Meta's code before you do. If you decline, you may still see our ads, but they will not be tailored to you and we cannot tell which ads lead to bookings.
| Name | Purpose | Duration | Provider |
|---|---|---|---|
| _fbp | Registers a unique browser ID so Meta can measure our advertising and show you relevant ads on Facebook and Instagram. | 3 months | Meta |
| _fbc | Stores the advertising click that brought you to our site, so a resulting booking can be attributed to that ad. Only set if you arrive via a Meta ad. | 3 months | Meta |
| No cookie | Conversions API — in addition to the cookies above, events such as a completed booking may be sent to Meta from our servers rather than from your browser, so that advertising measurement still works when a browser blocks tracking. Identifying details are hashed before transmission. This is only done if you enable marketing cookies. | — | Meta |
Meta processes this data in the USA. The transfer is based on the EU Standard Contractual Clauses together with Meta's certification under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework. You can withdraw your consent at any time, with effect for the future, under Manage Cookie Settings below.
