Cookie Policy

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small files a website stores on your device. Similar technologies (such as localStorage and pixels) work in comparable ways. They can keep you signed in, remember your preferences, and help us understand how the product is used.

2. We are cookie-light by default

SwingVantage is built to use as few cookies as possible. We show no paid ads today, so no advertising cookies run, and we do not sell your data. Before you create an account, most of your data lives only in your browser's local storage and is not sent to our servers.

3. Categories we use

• Strictly necessary: required to sign you in, keep your session secure, and remember essential settings. These are always on because the product cannot work without them.
• Preferences: remember choices like language, theme, and your cookie-consent decision itself.
• Analytics & performance (consent-gated): help us understand which features are used and where the product can improve. Whether these load depends on where you are and on your choice (see Section 4), and they stay off when your browser sends Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control (see Section 6). Where possible we use privacy-friendly, cookieless analytics; those set no cookies and count page views and page speed whatever your choice.
• Advertising (none today; consent-gated if ever used): we show no paid ads today. If we later show ads from Google AdSense on content pages, third-party vendors, including Google, will use cookies to serve them, cap how often you see one, prevent fraud and measure results. We request non-personalized ads only, never show ads inside your analysis or to members or anyone under 18, and in the EU, EEA, UK and Switzerland these cookies load only after you consent. See the Advertising section of our Privacy Policy for opt-out links.

4. Your choices and consent

We ask for consent in a way that respects your region. In the EU, EEA, UK, and Switzerland (and where your region is unknown), non-essential cookies are off until you opt in. Elsewhere, analytics cookies are on by default: the cookie notice says so and has a “Turn off” button, and you can turn them off at any time.

You can change your decision whenever you like using the “Cookie settings” link in the footer of any page. You can also control or clear cookies through your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of the app from working.

5. Third-party services

Some cookies are set by trusted third parties that help us run the service — for example, our cloud authentication and hosting providers, and the consent-gated analytics described above. These providers process data under their own privacy terms. For more detail on how we handle data overall, see our Privacy Policy.

6. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control

If your browser sends a “Do Not Track” or “Global Privacy Control” signal, we honour it in every region, even if you have accepted analytics: Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity do not load at all, and our product analytics (PostHog) records nothing. Because your cookie choice would not change that, we do not show the cookie notice. The cookieless page-view and page-speed counting described in Section 3 is not affected.

7. Changes & contact

We may update this policy as the product changes; we will update the effective date above when we do. Questions? Email privacy@swingvantage.com.

This policy describes our current practices in plain English. We recommend independent legal review before scaling or collecting data from users in regulated jurisdictions.
