Cookie Policy
Last updated: January 2026
This Cookie Policy is illustrative content for the SwiftTrack Express demo website. This site does not set tracking cookies or use browser storage to persist data, but this document is written as a complete, production-style cookie policy would be.
1. What Is a Cookie
A cookie is a small text file placed on a device when visiting a website, typically used to remember information between page loads or visits, such as login state, preferences, or analytics identifiers.
2. What This Demo Actually Uses
All interactive features — including the parcel tracking search box, FAQ accordion and search, and newsletter form — run entirely in your browser's memory for the current page view. Nothing is written to cookies, local storage, session storage, or any server.
3. How a Live Version Might Use Cookies
A production courier platform would typically rely on a few categories of cookies:
- Strictly necessary cookies — required to keep a session active while browsing a real tracking dashboard, complete a checkout, or maintain security
- Preference cookies — to remember display settings such as language, region, or measurement units
- Performance and analytics cookies — to understand which pages and features are used most, in order to improve the platform
- Functionality cookies — to remember recent tracking searches or saved addresses for a signed-in user
- Targeting or advertising cookies — used by some platforms to measure the effectiveness of marketing campaigns; a live version of this brand would disclose clearly whether any such cookies were used
4. Third-Party Cookies
Where a live platform embeds third-party tools such as analytics, chat widgets, or payment providers, those providers might set their own cookies subject to their own privacy and cookie policies, which would be disclosed separately.
5. How Long Cookies Last
Session cookies would typically expire when the browser is closed, while persistent cookies remain for a set period (for example, to keep a user signed in across visits) until they expire or are deleted manually.
6. Managing Cookies
Most browsers allow cookies to be viewed, blocked, or deleted through their settings menu — usually under a "Privacy" or "Cookies" section. Since this demo does not set any cookies, no action is needed to use it privately. On a live platform, disabling certain cookies could affect functionality such as staying signed in or remembering preferences.
7. Do Not Track Signals
As this demo does not set tracking cookies, browser "Do Not Track" signals have no practical effect here. A live platform would state clearly whether and how it honors such signals.
8. Changes to This Policy
This illustrative cookie policy may be updated at any time to reflect changes to the example website or to demonstrate additional cookie categories.
