Cookie Policy

Version 1.1 · Last updated 4 November 2026 · Applies to everyone who visits the Handova website or app

In short: The few cookies and similar files Handova uses, why, how long they last, and how to change your choice. This summary is for convenience only; the full text below is what applies.

This Cookie Policy explains the cookies and similar technologies (such as your browser's local storage) that Handova LLC uses on the Handova website and app. It is part of our Privacy Policy.

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. "Local storage" and the app's offline files work in a similar way. Some are needed for the service to work ("essential"); others are optional and need your permission where the law requires it.

2. Essential cookies (always on)

Name	Purpose	How long
`session`	Keeps you signed in, protects forms against forgery (security token) and remembers your company and settings while you use Handova.	Until you close the browser, or 30 days if you tick "Remember me"; ends when you log out
`hv_cookies`	Remembers your cookie choice so we don't ask again.	12 months
App files (service worker cache)	Lets the installed app open quickly and show a message when you have no internet.	Until you remove the app or clear site data
Local storage (driver phones)	Keeps the state of a running shift, so location sharing continues if the page reloads.	Until the shift ends

Essential cookies do not need consent under EU, UK and similar laws, because Handova cannot work without them. You can block them in your browser, but you will not be able to log in.

3. Optional analytics cookies

We do not use analytics cookies at the moment. If we add them, they will only load after you choose Accept all, and we will list them here first.

4. What we never use

No advertising, retargeting or social-media tracking cookies, and we do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising. We honour Global Privacy Control signals.

5. Third parties

Maps load image tiles from OpenStreetMap servers, which receive your IP address and the map area being viewed, but no cookies are set for tracking. If you use "Continue with Google", Google's own cookies apply on Google's pages.

6. Changing your choice

Use Cookie settings (also in the website footer) at any time, or delete the hv_cookies cookie in your browser, and we will ask again. Your browser's settings also let you block or delete cookies.
