Cookie Policy for Aimer World

Authentication and login sessions: When you sign in to your Aimer World account, a cookie keeps you logged in as you move between pages. Without it, you'd be signed out every time you navigate anywhere.

Your preferences and settings: Things like your language preference, display settings, and notification choices get saved in cookies so the site remembers them next time you visit.

Understanding how people use the site: Analytics cookies give us anonymised data about which pages people visit, how long they stay, and where they leave. This helps us spot problems and improve things over time.

Security and fraud prevention: Some cookies help us detect unusual activity — like someone trying to access an account from an unexpected location — and protect users accordingly.

Advertising and content personalisation: Where relevant, cookies help show you more relevant content and ads. These come from trusted third-party partners who operate under their own privacy and data policies.

Strictly Necessary Cookies: These are essential for the site to function at all. They handle things like your login session, account security, and basic navigation. You can't opt out of these without the site breaking for you — but they don't track you or store any personally identifiable information beyond what's needed to keep the site running.

Functional Cookies: These remember choices you make, like your preferred language or whether you've dismissed a notification. They make the experience more personalised without being used for tracking or advertising purposes.

Analytics Cookies: We use these to understand how visitors interact with Aimer World — what pages they look at, what they click on, and how they find us. All data collected here is aggregated and anonymised, meaning it can't be traced back to you personally.

Advertising Cookies: These cookies are used by advertising partners to show ads that are more relevant to your interests. They may track your activity across other websites to build a picture of your interests. You can opt out of these — see the controls section below.

Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to understand how people find and use our free dating site. The data is aggregated — Google does not provide us with personally identifiable information. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Google AdSense: We serve advertisements through Google AdSense. Google uses cookies to personalise ads based on browsing history. You can manage ad personalisation at Google's Ad Settings.

Cloudflare: We use Cloudflare for security, performance, and content delivery. Cloudflare may set cookies to protect against bots and malicious traffic. These are security-critical and cannot be disabled without affecting site access.

Google reCAPTCHA: To protect forms from spam and abuse, we use Google reCAPTCHA. It collects hardware and software information and sends it to Google for analysis. See Google's Privacy Policy for full details.

Facebook Connect (Optional): If you choose to sign in or connect with Facebook, Facebook will set their own cookies in accordance with their data policy. This is entirely optional and only triggered if you actively choose to use it.

Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data. You can block third-party cookies, clear existing ones, or manage exceptions per site.

Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy and Security → Enhanced Tracking Protection. Firefox's strict mode blocks most third-party tracking cookies automatically.

Microsoft Edge: Settings → Privacy, Search, and Services → Tracking prevention. Edge offers Basic, Balanced, and Strict protection levels.

Apple Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data. Safari blocks cross-site tracking by default and lets you clear stored data per site.

Opera: Settings → Privacy and Security. Similar to Chrome's controls since Opera uses the same underlying engine.
