What we collect

RateSwap does not require an account and does not collect the amounts or currencies you enter to run a conversion. That data stays in your browser and the conversion math is done locally; nothing you type is transmitted to or stored on our servers.

The exchange-rate API

To show current exchange rates, this page fetches data directly from your browser to the free Frankfurter API, which republishes European Central Bank reference rates. That request does not include the amount or currencies you've chosen — it only pulls the full current rate table, and the conversion itself happens locally afterward. We don't operate that API and don't see or log these requests; see Frankfurter's own documentation for how it handles traffic.

Cookies and your consent

On your first visit, a banner asks whether you're okay with cookies for analytics and advertising. Until you accept, Google Analytics and Google AdSense run in a restricted, non-personalized mode ("consent mode") that Google's own tags respect automatically — no advertising or analytics cookies are set until you say yes. You can change your mind at any time using the "Cookie settings" link in the footer.

Advertising and cookies

If you accept, this site displays ads served by Google AdSense. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the internet.

You may opt out of personalized advertising at any time by visiting Google Ads Settings, in addition to using the cookie banner on this site.

Analytics

If you accept, we use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use RateSwap — for example, which pages are viewed and roughly how much traffic the site gets. Google Analytics sets cookies (such as _ga and _gid) and collects information like your browser type, approximate location, and pages visited. This data is aggregated and used only to improve the site; we don't use it to identify individual visitors.

You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
