Cookie Policy

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that a website or service provider places on your device. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, pixels, software-development kits and device identifiers. Together they can keep a site functional, remember preferences, measure performance, prevent fraud or build advertising profiles.

The purpose of a technology matters more than its technical label: a cookie that keeps a page secure is very different from one that tracks you across the web. This policy describes both what the Site itself uses and what you may encounter after leaving it.

2. What the Site itself uses

The Site is a read-only editorial publication. It has no accounts, logins, shopping carts or personalization features, and it does not run behavioral advertising. As a result, our own use of cookies is limited to the minimal technical storage needed to deliver pages reliably and securely.

We do not set analytics cookies, advertising cookies or affiliate-attribution cookies on your device, and we do not use local storage to build profiles of our readers. Brand assets, fonts and article media are served from our own infrastructure rather than loaded from third-party trackers.

3. Strictly necessary technologies

Some storage is essential for a website to function: delivering pages over a secure connection, balancing load, protecting against abuse and remembering choices a site is legally required to honor. Such technologies are “strictly necessary” and, where consent laws apply, they are generally exempt from consent requirements because the service cannot work without them.

Our hosting and content-delivery infrastructure may process technical identifiers — such as your IP address — as part of serving and securing pages. That processing is described in our Privacy Policy.

4. What we deliberately do not use

To keep your reading experience private, the Site currently avoids the following categories entirely:

• Analytics cookies and audience-measurement pixels.
• Advertising cookies, retargeting tags and social-media trackers.
• Affiliate-attribution cookies set on our own domain.
• Fingerprinting techniques intended to recognize your device across sites.

5. Outbound links and third-party cookies

When you click a “Try” button, your click passes through a short redirect on our own domain and then opens the official website of the reviewed provider. Our redirect does not set tracking cookies; it exists to route you to a fixed, pre-approved destination.

Once you arrive at the provider’s website, that provider may set its own cookies and similar technologies — for sign-in sessions, preferences, analytics or marketing — under its own cookie and privacy policies. We do not control those technologies, and we encourage you to review the provider’s policy before registering or paying.

6. First-party and third-party storage

A first-party cookie is set under the domain you are visiting — in this case ai-girlfriend-app-2026.com. A third-party technology is provided by another organization, such as an analytics, advertising, video or payment service embedded in a page.

Because the Site serves its editorial content and brand assets locally and does not embed third-party media, your exposure to third-party storage while reading our pages is minimal. The meaningful third-party interaction begins only when you choose to follow an outbound link.

7. Managing cookies and storage in your browser

Most browsers let you view, block or delete cookies and site data, either globally or per site. Blocking strictly necessary storage can prevent parts of a website from working, but it will not break plain reading on this Site — our content does not depend on optional cookies.

Private-browsing windows, tracker-protection features and content blockers can further reduce persistence. Note that these tools limit browser storage; they do not prevent the server-side logs that any website needs to deliver pages, and they do not control what a third-party provider does after you visit it.

8. Consent and global privacy signals

Because the Site does not use optional tracking technologies, we do not currently need to ask for cookie consent. If we ever introduce optional analytics or similar technologies, we will request consent where the law requires it, make withdrawal as easy as acceptance, and update this policy before the change goes live.

Where legally applicable, we assess browser-level privacy signals such as Global Privacy Control. Since we do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, there is currently no such activity to opt out of on the Site.

9. Changes to this policy

We will update this Cookie Policy whenever our use of cookies or similar technologies changes, or when the law requires new disclosures. Material changes are reflected in a new “Last updated” date at the top of this page.
