Cookie notice & settings
We keep this short because there isn't much to it. Lifesweeper runs on essential cookies plus one optional analytics switch. No ad networks, no cross-site tracking, ever.
Your choices
Essential
Needed to sign in, stay signed in and keep the site secure. These can't be turned off — without them the app can't work.
Analytics
Aggregate, non-identifying counts of which pages and features get used. Off unless you turn it on. Legal basis: your consent, which you can withdraw here any time.
