Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how cookies and similar technologies are used on this platform. By using the platform, you agree to the use of cookies as described in this policy.
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites function properly and provide information about how users interact with the platform.
How Cookies Are Used
Cookies and similar technologies may be used to: enable core platform functionality; maintain session stability; improve performance and user experience; support advertising and analytics.
Advertising Cookies
The platform may use third-party advertising services to display ads. These services may use cookies, web beacons, or similar technologies to: show relevant advertisements; measure ad performance; analyze interactions with ads. These cookies may collect information such as IP address, browser type, device information, and general usage behavior. The platform does not control how third-party advertisers use cookies or data. Users should review their respective privacy policies.
Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on users' visits to this site and/or other sites on the internet.
Consent-Gated Advertising Load
Third-party display-advertising scripts (for example, Google AdSense) on this platform are loaded only after you have indicated acceptance of cookies through the on-page notification. Display-advertising scripts are additionally restricted from loading on the chat interface, on legal and policy pages, and on the abuse-reporting page. You may withdraw consent at any time by clearing the platform's site data through your browser's privacy controls, after which the advertising scripts will not be loaded on subsequent visits.
Measurement and Conversion Tags
To measure the effectiveness of any paid advertising the platform may run on third-party networks, a measurement tag (Google Tag, gtag.js) is included on the platform. The tag and the cookies it sets are used to attribute visits and conversions to specific advertising campaigns. You can manage or disable these cookies through your browser's privacy controls; doing so may affect the accuracy of conversion measurement but will not prevent you from using the platform.
Local Storage and Similar Technologies
In addition to cookies, the platform uses your browser's local storage to keep a small record of your current session so that you can close the tab and return without signing in again. This record contains only the information you submitted at sign-up (display name, age, gender, country, optional state/region) and a session identifier; it contains no chat content and is never transmitted to any third party. It is also used to remember your theme preference (light or dark) and whether you have dismissed the cookie notification. You can clear these entries at any time by clicking "End session" within the platform, by clearing site data through your browser's privacy controls, or, in private/incognito browsing modes, by closing the last private window — in which case the browser removes the entries automatically.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies may be placed by third-party services integrated into the platform. These may include: advertising providers; analytics services. These third parties may collect and process data according to their own policies.
Managing Cookies
You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to: block cookies; delete stored cookies; receive alerts when cookies are being used. Please note that disabling cookies may affect certain features and functionality of the platform.
Consent
By continuing to use the platform, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy. Where required by law, cookie consent may be requested through a notification or banner.
Changes to This Policy
This Cookie Policy may be updated from time to time. Continued use of the platform after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
