Cookie statement

Cookies are small files that a website places in your browser. Local storage works in a similar way. Here you can read which of these Woonwissel uses.

No tracking cookies

We use no cookies to track you, no advertising cookies and no third-party analytics services. That is why we do not ask for your consent with a cookie banner.

What we do use

Name	What for	How long
woonwissel:gebieden (local storage)	Remembers the neighbourhoods you chose on the map, so you do not have to choose them again when you sign up. It stays on your device and is not sent to us.	Until you clear it
woonwissel:wensen (local storage)	Remembers your preferences (where you live now, rooms, rent and swap type) for when you sign up. It stays on your device.	Until you clear it
Session cookie	Keeps you logged in while you use the platform.	Until you log out or close your browser
ww_taal	Remembers whether you want to see the site in Dutch or in English.	1 year

This storage is needed to make the site work the way you ask. By law, this does not require consent.

The map

The map images come from OpenFreeMap. That service does not set cookies, but it does see your IP address when the map loads. The map only loads on pages with a map, such as Homes and neighbourhoods, the swap list, a home and the sign-up steps.

Clearing it yourself

You can clear cookies and local storage for this site in your browser settings. You will then lose the neighbourhoods and preferences you chose.
