Local-First Architecture

CookieSwapper operates entirely on your local machine. We do not require registration, we do not run remote databases, and all your session profiles remain sandboxed in your browser.

1. Introduction

CookieSwapper is built with a strict local-first, privacy-by-design philosophy. We believe that your browsing data belongs to you. This Privacy Policy explains how our extension operates and confirms that we do not collect, store, or transmit your personal data.

2. Information Collection & Transmission

CookieSwapper does not collect any personal data. We do not track your browsing history, we do not log your clicks, and we do not capture your cookie details to any remote servers. There is no background data collection, no telemetry, and no analytics SDKs integrated into the extension.

3. How Data is Stored (100% Local)

All sessions, active profile labels, and cookie snapshots are stored exclusively in your browser's local sandbox storage (using the chrome.storage.local API). This data never leaves your device and is never uploaded to the cloud. You can delete all saved sessions at any time directly from the extension settings or by uninstalling the extension.

4. Browser Permissions Required

To swap cookie-based sessions, the extension requires the following browser permissions:

• cookies: To read and write cookies for the active domain so you can switch sessions.
• activeTab / tabs: To auto-refresh the active page when you switch sessions, displaying the updated session content.
• host permissions (<all_urls>): To allow session swapping on any website you choose to use the extension on.

These permissions are used solely for local operations on your device and are never abused to collect or transmit data.

5. Third-Party Services

CookieSwapper does not integrate with any third-party ads, tracking libraries, or external services. We run no remote databases. Your active session remains entirely isolated and local.
