Cookies
Convoy uses three kinds of cookies.
- Strictly necessary cookies (below) are always on. The law doesn't require consent for them, because the service can't work without them.
- Advertising cookies are set by Google, and only on pages that show ads (events on the Free plan, and your events list). In the UK, EEA and Switzerland, they're only used if you agree in Google's consent message.
- Ad measurement cookies are only set if you arrive from one of our Google ads and say yes when we ask. They let us count which ads lead to sign-ups, and are never used to personalise ads.
We use no analytics cookies. Change your ad choices any time at Your privacy choices.
