Cookie Policy

    Last updated: March 2026

    This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how SnapSnoreScore uses them, and how you can control your cookie preferences when visiting the website.

    1. What Are Cookies?

    1.1. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website.

    1.2. Cookies are widely used to make websites function properly, improve user experience, and provide information to website operators about how visitors interact with their sites.

    1.3. Cookies can be categorized as:

    First-party cookies – set directly by the website you are visiting.

    Third-party cookies – set by external services used by the website (for example analytics providers).

    Cookies may also be classified as:

    Session cookies – deleted automatically when you close your browser.

    Persistent cookies – stored on your device for a defined period of time.

    2. How SnapSnoreScore Uses Cookies

    SnapSnoreScore uses a minimal number of cookies and does not use cookies for advertising, profiling, or retargeting.

    The cookies used fall into two categories:

    Essential Cookies (Strictly Necessary)

    These cookies are required for the website to function properly.

    cookie-consent

    Stores your cookie consent preference (accepted or rejected) so the cookie banner does not reappear unnecessarily.

    Persistent

    These cookies are activated in response to actions you take on the site, such as saving your cookie preferences. Essential cookies cannot be disabled through the cookie banner because the site cannot function properly without them.

    Analytics Cookies (Optional)

    Analytics cookies are used to understand how visitors interact with the website. These cookies are only activated after you provide consent.

    _ga

    Set by Google Analytics 4. Used to distinguish unique users by assigning a randomly generated identifier.

    2 years

    _ga_*

    Set by Google Analytics 4. Used to maintain session state such as session duration and session count.

    2 years

    These cookies help us understand aggregated visitor behavior, such as which pages are most frequently visited and how users navigate the website.

    3. Google Analytics 4 and Consent Mode

    SnapSnoreScore uses Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to collect anonymized usage statistics that help us improve the website and the app experience.

    We implement Google Consent Mode v2, which means:

    • Analytics storage is disabled by default
    • Cookies are only set after explicit user consent
    • If consent is denied, Google Analytics operates in cookieless measurement mode

    In this limited mode, Google may receive anonymized signals that allow basic traffic measurement without storing cookies on your device.

    We have configured Google Analytics to:

    • Disable advertising features
    • Disable Google Signals
    • Disable personalized advertising
    • Prevent the collection of personally identifiable information

    SnapSnoreScore does not use analytics for advertising, remarketing, or profiling.

    4. What Data Analytics May Collect

    If you consent to analytics cookies, Google Analytics may collect anonymous usage information such as:

    • Pages visited
    • Time spent on pages
    • Referring source (search engine, direct visit, social media)
    • General geographic region (country or city level)
    • Device type and browser
    • Operating system
    • Screen resolution
    • Basic interaction data (clicks or page navigation)

    Google Analytics does not collect:

    • Your name
    • Email address
    • Phone number
    • Microphone audio
    • Snore Score results
    • Sleep data or recordings

    All snoring analysis performed by SnapSnoreScore occurs locally in your browser and is never transmitted to external servers.

    5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

    You can control or modify your cookie preferences at any time.

    Options include:

    • Clearing the cookie-consent entry in your browser storage to trigger the consent banner again
    • Blocking or deleting cookies through your browser settings
    • Using browser privacy extensions or tracking blockers

    Please note that disabling essential cookies may affect website functionality.

    To opt out of Google Analytics tracking entirely, you may install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on provided by Google.

    6. Local Storage

    In addition to cookies, SnapSnoreScore uses browser localStorage, which is a storage mechanism separate from cookies.

    localStorage is used to store information such as:

    • Cookie consent preference
    • Snore Score results
    • Session history
    • Progressive Web App (PWA) installation settings

    This data is stored only on your device and is never transmitted to SnapSnoreScore servers or third parties.

    You may clear this data at any time through your browser settings or by clearing site data.

    7. Third-Party Cookies

    The only third-party cookies used by SnapSnoreScore are those set by Google Analytics, and only when you provide consent.

    We do not use:

    • Advertising networks
    • Social media tracking pixels
    • Behavioral profiling tools
    • Third-party advertising cookies

    8. Changes to This Cookie Policy

    We may update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect changes in our use of cookies or updates to legal requirements.

    When changes occur, the "Last updated" date at the top of this page will be revised.
