Cookie Policy
Last updated: 15 May 2026
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files (or equivalent storage mechanisms like localStorage) that a website stores on your device when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide analytics information.
EasySwing.trading uses cookies and browser storage mechanisms as described in this policy. We comply with the Dutch Telecommunications Act (Telecommunicatiewet) and the EU Cookie Directive (ePrivacy), which require user consent for non-essential cookies.
2. Categories of Cookies We Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for EasySwing to function. They enable core features like authentication and session management. They cannot be disabled — without them, the service will not work properly. Under GDPR, these cookies are processed under the legal basis of legitimate interest and do not require separate consent.
Preference Cookies
These remember your settings and choices (e.g., completed onboarding). They improve your experience but are not strictly required. These are processed in your browser's localStorage, not as HTTP cookies. They require your consent.
Analytics Cookies
We use Microsoft Clarity and Google Tag Manager to understand how visitors interact with our site. Clarity provides session recordings, heatmaps, and behavioral metrics. GTM manages analytics tags and collects aggregated usage data. These cookies require your consent and are only activated when you accept analytics cookies.
For details on how these providers collect and use data, see the Microsoft Privacy Statement and the Google Privacy Policy.

4. Your Choices and How to Manage Cookies
When you first visit EasySwing, you will see a cookie consent banner. You can:
- Accept all cookies
- Accept only strictly necessary cookies
- Change your preferences at any time via the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer
You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling all cookies may prevent you from logging in or using parts of EasySwing. Browser-specific guides:
5. Third-Party Cookies
Clerk (our authentication provider) sets cookies necessary for your login session. These are governed by Clerk's own Privacy Policy. We do not control these cookies but they are essential for the service.
Microsoft Clarity sets analytics cookies to capture user interactions through session recordings and heatmaps. These cookies are only activated when you accept analytics cookies. Microsoft's use of this data is governed by the Microsoft Privacy Statement.
Google Tag Manager manages analytics tags and may set cookies to measure site performance. These cookies are only activated when you accept analytics cookies. Google's use of this data is governed by the Google Privacy Policy.
We do not embed third-party advertising or social media scripts that set cookies on our site.
6. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
We honour the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal sent by some browsers and extensions: when GPC is detected, we treat it as an opt-out signal for analytics and behavioural tracking, equivalent to clicking "Reject all" in our consent banner.
The older Do Not Track (DNT) header is not consistently interpreted across the web. We log it but do not treat it as a binding signal by itself, because some browsers send DNT by default without user intent. Use the cookie banner or GPC for a reliable opt-out.
7. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when we change the cookies we use. We will update the date at the top of this page and, where material, notify users by email or via the cookie consent banner.
