Introduction

At Swingers Sphere, we are committed to protecting your privacy. Our goal is to provide trustworthy, industry-leading services so you can focus on building meaningful connections.This Policy explains what cookies and other tracking technologies are, the types of storage used, and how they may be placed on your device when you visit our website. It also outlines how we use these technologies to enhance your experience.This Policy does not cover the broader handling of your personal information. For that, please refer to our [Privacy Policy].

What Are Cookies, Other Tracking Devices, and Local Storage?

Cookies are small text files stored by your browser on your computer or mobile device. These files are exchanged between your browser and the server. Local storage, on the other hand, is used to read and write data directly within the browser and is not accessible by the server.Cookies and local storage are widely used to make websites work more efficiently or to improve user experiences by remembering preferences or login sessions. Importantly, cookies cannot retrieve data from your hard drive or transmit viruses.You may disable cookies, but please note that some are essential for core functionality. Disabling others may limit features such as content sharing. Similarly, local storage can also be disabled or cleared.Other tracking technologies—such as web beacons (also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs), tracking URLs, and software development kits (SDKs)—function similarly to cookies. These tools allow us to recognize user activity, monitor email interactions, and track referral sources. For simplicity, we collectively refer to all of these technologies as “cookies” in this Policy.

 

What Is Session Storage?

Session storage temporarily stores data in your browser for the duration of your session. When you close a tab or window, the data stored in that session is automatically deleted.

Types of Cookies

We use tools such as Google Analytics for this purpose. You can learn more at google.com/policies/privacy/partners.
