Cookie Policy
Last updated: May 2026 | Governing law: Republic of Ireland
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites recognise devices, maintain sessions, remember preferences, improve security, and understand how users interact with a platform.
Cookies may be set directly by SigSwift (first-party cookies) or by carefully selected third-party providers (third-party cookies). Similar technologies such as local storage, session storage, and related technologies may also be used for similar purposes and are covered by this policy.
2. Legal Basis
Under the European Communities (Electronic Communications Networks and Services) (Privacy and Electronic Communications) Regulations 2011 and the GDPR, SigSwift must obtain your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device.
Essential cookies required for platform functionality, security, and authentication do not require consent. All other cookies are placed only after you provide affirmative consent through the cookie banner. You may reject non-essential cookies without affecting access to core platform functionality.
3. Cookies We Use

3.2 Analytics Cookies
SigSwift uses analytics technologies to understand how visitors use the platform and to improve performance, usability, and reliability. Analytics data is aggregated and is not intended to directly identify individual users. These cookies are only placed after you have provided consent.
