ContactThis is an English translation. If it differs from the Hungarian version, the Hungarian version prevails.
This policy explains which cookies the Swipr website (swipr-app.com: the home page, the legal pages, the account deletion page and shared event pages) uses, and what the Swipr mobile app (the "App") stores on your phone. How we handle personal data is described in detail in our Privacy Policy: Privacy Policy.
1. What a cookie is
A cookie is a small text file that a website places in your browser and that your browser sends back the next time you open the website. Cookies let a website remember certain settings, such as the language you picked.
2. The cookie the website uses
The website uses a single cookie:
- Name:
site_locale - Purpose: remembers whether you want to see the website in English or Hungarian.
- When it is set: only when you pick a language: with the EN / HU switch on the page, or by opening a link that sets the language. Until you do, the website sets no cookie and is shown in the language of your browser settings.
- How long it lasts: 1 year, or until you delete it from your browser.
- Who sets it: the Swipr website itself (a first-party cookie); it is not shared with any third party.
- Type: a strictly necessary (functional) cookie that only stores a setting you explicitly asked for.
The website does not use sessions for visitors, so it sets no session cookie either.
3. What we do not use
- No analytics, statistics or audience measurement cookies.
- No advertising, remarketing or tracking cookies.
- No social media cookies, embedded social buttons or social content.
- No other third-party cookies.
- Fonts, images and other files are served from Swipr's own server; the website loads nothing from outside providers (such as Google Fonts or a content delivery network, CDN).
4. Pictures on shared event pages
Shared event pages load the event's pictures from the Swipr server through temporary signed links. These links expire after a while and set no cookies in your browser.
5. The mobile app
The App does not use cookies. It keeps a few things it needs to work in your phone's own storage, in the phone's secure storage:
- the sign-in token, so you don't have to sign in every time you open the App;
- the signed-in account's profile data, so the App starts quickly, even on a weak connection;
- the language you picked in the App;
- your recent searches, so you can quickly run them again.
These stay on your phone, do not follow you into other apps or websites, and are not used for advertising. The sign-in token and the profile data are deleted from the phone when you sign out.
The outside services built into the App also store on the phone what they need to work:
- push notifications (Firebase Cloud Messaging): the phone's notification token and the installation identifier that goes with it;
- error tracking (Sentry): error reports not sent yet, until they are sent;
- the map (Mapbox): the map areas already viewed, so they load faster.
These are not used for advertising either, and they are removed from the phone together with the App.
6. Consent
The site_locale cookie is strictly necessary for a service you explicitly ask for (remembering the language you picked), so under the law no separate consent is needed to set it. That is why the website shows no cookie consent pop-up. If you don't want the website to set a cookie, simply don't use the language switch, or block cookies in your browser.
7. How to delete cookies
You can view, delete or block cookies in your browser's settings:
- In most browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) this is in the privacy section of the settings, under "cookies" or "site data".
- You can delete all cookies, or only the ones from swipr-app.com.
- Browsers also let you block cookies entirely; the website still works then, it just won't remember the language you picked.
- The exact steps differ between browsers and versions; your browser's help pages describe them.
After you delete the site_locale cookie, the website is shown in the language of your browser settings again until you pick a language.
8. Changes to this policy
If the cookies the website uses or the data the App stores change (for example, if a new cookie is added to the website), we will update this policy before the change and, where the law requires it, ask for your consent before setting such cookies. The current version is always available on this page.
