This Cookie Policy explains how PartWolf.Digital (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar spatial web technologies on Urban Score (accessible via urbanscore.eu and related municipal portals such as urbanscorezagreb.com).
It outlines what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control their use in accordance with European Union privacy laws (GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive).
1. Our Privacy-First Commitment
Unlike many commercial platforms, Urban Score is a civic-tech platform built on data privacy by design.
- We do not use cross-site advertising cookies or retargeting pixels (such as Meta Pixel or Google Ads).
- We do not sell your location searches or browsing behavior to advertisers.
- We only use cookies that are strictly necessary to render interactive maps, calculate personalized walkability scores, and maintain secure website operation.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your computer, tablet, or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make sites work more efficiently, deliver smooth user experiences, and provide basic, aggregated usage analytics.
Similar technologies used on our site include:
- Local Storage / Session Storage: Web storage used by your browser to remember your active search filters or UI preferences (e.g., selected walkability priorities) while navigating the app without storing personal identifiers.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
We categorize the cookies and local storage tokens used on Urban Score into three minimal categories:
A. Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are mandatory for the website to function properly. Without them, core features like dynamic route calculations, language switching, and secure page navigation would not work.
| Cookie / Token Name | Type | Duration | Purpose |
us_lang | First-party | 1 year | Remembers your preferred language selection (e.g., Catalan, Spanish, English). |
us_session | First-party | Session | Maintains security state and temporary spatial query parameters while using the score generator. |
__cf_bm / cf_clearance | Third-party (Cloudflare) | 30 minutes | Essential security cookies used to protect the site from automated bot traffic and DDoS attacks. |
B. Functional & Preference Storage
These local storage items help tailor the platform to your personal needs during your session.
| Storage Item | Type | Duration | Purpose |
us_user_priorities | Local Storage | Persistent | Saves your selected amenity priorities (e.g., Parks, Schools, Public Transport) so your score calculations remain consistent as you move across the map. |
C. Privacy-Focused Analytics
We may use lightweight, privacy-friendly analytics tools to measure overall platform performance and system load.
- All IP addresses are anonymized.
- No personal data or cross-website tracking is performed.
- Data is aggregated solely to help us understand which city districts or features require server optimization.
4. Map Tiles & Third-Party Geospatial Services
To display interactive city maps, pedestrian paths, and location ratings, Urban Score integrates open-source mapping services (such as OpenStreetMap tiles and Mapbox GL).
When loading map imagery, your browser communicates directly with these spatial data servers to fetch visual map tiles. These requests include basic technical metadata (such as your IP address and browser type) necessary to deliver the map tiles to your screen. These providers operate under strict privacy compliance to ensure map requests are processed securely and without profiling.
5. How You Can Control & Manage Cookies
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject non-essential cookies.
A. Browser Controls
You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to block essential cookies, you can still visit our website, but certain interactive features—such as map rendering and real-time walkability scoring—may not function properly.

6. Updates to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, new municipal tool features, or updated legal regulations. Any changes will be published on this page with a revised “Last Updated” date.
