Cookies and device storage

Last updated: 29 September 2026

DRAFT — REVIEW REQUIRED. This lists what the Hygivo app stores on your device today. Check it again whenever a new service is added.

Hygivo does not use advertising, analytics, tracking or social-media cookies, and has no third-party tracking embedded. Everything it stores on your device is strictly necessary for something you asked it to do, so under Irish rules (the ePrivacy Regulations, as explained by the Data Protection Commission) it needs no consent — which is why Hygivo shows no cookie banner. If that ever changes, nothing non-essential will run until you have agreed, and you will be able to refuse as easily as accept, and change your mind later.
