Cookie Policy
What cookies we use, why we use them, and how to control them
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to site owners.
Cookies can be “session cookies” - which expire when you close your browser - or “persistent cookies” - which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. Cookies can be set by the website you're visiting (“first-party cookies”) or by third-party services embedded in the site (“third-party cookies”).
We may also use similar technologies such as web beacons, pixels, and local storage, which function in a similar way to cookies. References to “cookies” in this policy include these similar technologies.
2. How We Use Cookies
Dating AI Chat uses cookies for the following purposes:
- Core functionality: to authenticate users, maintain session state, and ensure the Service works as intended.
- Personalisation: to remember your preferences, companion choices, language settings, and UI customisations.
- Performance & analytics: to understand how users interact with the Service, which pages are most visited, and where issues occur.
- Security: to detect and prevent fraud, abuse, and unauthorised access.
- Marketing (with your consent only): to deliver relevant advertisements on third-party platforms and measure their effectiveness.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
Essential cookies are required for the basic functions of the Service to work. Without these cookies, features like logging in, maintaining sessions, and security checks would not function. These cookies cannot be disabled.
Preference cookies remember your settings and choices to provide a more personalised experience. You can disable these, though some customisations will reset on each visit.
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the Service. The data collected is anonymised or pseudonymised and used solely to improve the user experience.
Marketing cookies are used - only with your explicit consent - to serve relevant advertisements on third-party platforms and to measure the effectiveness of campaigns. Disabling these will not reduce the number of ads you see, only their relevance.
4. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our Service are set by third parties. These include:
- Google Analytics (privacy policy): usage analytics
- Meta / Facebook Pixel (privacy policy): marketing (consent required)
- Stripe (privacy policy): payment processing
- Cloudflare (privacy policy): security and CDN
We do not control these third-party cookies. Please refer to the respective privacy policies for more information.
