Cookie Policy
This policy explains what cookies are, which ones SwiftHaul uses, and how you can control them.
Last updated: 1 July 2026
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide reporting information to site operators.
We also use related technologies — local storage, session storage, and pixel tags — that operate similarly to cookies. This policy covers all of them collectively as "cookies".
2. How We Use Cookies
SwiftHaul uses cookies for three distinct purposes:
We do not use advertising or tracking cookies that follow you across third-party websites or build profiles for targeted advertising.
3. Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary to provide our services. They enable secure login, protect against CSRF attacks, and maintain your authenticated session in the operations dashboard. They cannot be turned off.
| Cookie / Key | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| next-auth.session-token | SwiftHaul | Authenticates dashboard sessions for admin and operations users | Session / 30 days |
| next-auth.csrf-token | SwiftHaul | Cross-site request forgery protection for authenticated actions | Session |
| __Host-next-auth.* | SwiftHaul | Secure session continuity across page loads | Session |
4. Functional Cookies
These cookies enhance the usability of our platform by remembering choices you make, such as your language preference. Disabling them may affect your experience.
| Cookie / Key | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| sh_pref_lang | SwiftHaul | Stores your preferred language and regional format settings | 1 year |
| sh_dismissed | SwiftHaul | Records banners or notices you have dismissed | 6 months |
5. Analytics Cookies
We use Google Analytics to understand aggregate usage patterns — which pages are visited most, where users drop off, and how new features perform. All data is anonymised before analysis. We have enabled IP anonymisation and do not use Google Analytics Advertising Features.
| Cookie / Key | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes unique users for traffic analysis | 2 years |
| _ga_* | Google Analytics | Maintains session state for analytics collection | 2 years |
| _gid | Google Analytics | Distinguishes users within a 24-hour window | 24 hours |
You can opt out of Google Analytics across all websites at any time using the official Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
6. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have several options to control cookies:
Browser settings
All modern browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies via their settings menu. Note that blocking essential cookies will prevent dashboard login.
Opt-out links
Use the Google Analytics opt-out add-on linked above to prevent analytics data collection on any website.
Do Not Track
SwiftHaul respects Do Not Track (DNT) browser signals. When DNT is enabled, we disable optional analytics cookies automatically.
Email request
Contact Contact@swifthaul.com to request deletion of any analytics data associated with your sessions.
7. Third-Party Links
Our website may link to third-party sites that have their own cookie policies. SwiftHaul is not responsible for the privacy or cookie practices of those sites. We encourage you to review their policies when you visit them.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in our practices or applicable regulations. We will post the updated policy on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. For material changes, we will provide notice on our website or by email.
