How ChathubMatch Uses Cookies
Short version: some cookies keep the site working, some remember your preferences, and some tell us what gets used. You can clear or block any of them in your browser — here is what each kind does and what it costs to switch it off.
What a Cookie Actually Is
A cookie is a small file your browser saves when you visit a site, which that site can read back later. It is how a website remembers anything between one click and the next — without it, every page load would look like a brand-new visitor arriving.
Similar technologies, like local storage, do the same job by a different mechanism. Wherever this page says "cookies", it means those too.
The Cookies We Use
Strictly necessary
These keep the basics alive: your session as you move between pages, security and abuse prevention, and carrying a coin purchase through checkout. Turn these off and the product simply stops working — there is no version of "stay signed in" that does not remember you.
Preferences
These remember choices so they do not reset on every visit — things like your language or region settings. Block them and the site still works, it just gets forgetful.
Analytics
These tell us which pages get used, where people get stuck, and whether something is broken — in aggregate, so we can improve the product. This is the category most people mean when they say they want cookies off, and the site stays perfectly usable without it.
Third-party cookies
Some services ChathubMatch relies on — analytics or payment processing, for instance — may set their own cookies under their own policies. Blocking third-party cookies in your browser limits these specifically, without touching the rest.
Session vs Persistent
A session cookie disappears when you close the browser — its job is keeping things together for this one visit. A persistent cookie stays until it expires or you clear it, which is how a preference survives until next time.
How to Turn Cookies Off
Your browser holds the controls, not us. Every major browser lets you clear existing cookies, block new ones, or block only third-party cookies:
- Chrome — Settings → Privacy and security → Third-party cookies
- Safari — Settings → Privacy (plus Manage Website Data)
- Edge — Settings → Cookies and site permissions
- Firefox — Settings → Privacy & Security
Private or incognito windows throw cookies away when the window closes — a quick way to browse without leaving them behind. Menu paths move between versions, so if yours looks different, search your browser settings for "cookies".
What blocking everything costs: pages still load and reading works fine — but staying signed in, keeping a session and completing a coin purchase will not. If your goal is limiting tracking rather than breaking the product, block third-party cookies and leave the strictly necessary ones alone.
Why There Is No Cookie Table Here
Many policies publish a table of every cookie name and lifetime. This one does not, on purpose: those tables go stale the moment a vendor changes anything, and a confidently wrong table is worse than none. The categories above describe what is actually used — and your browser will always show you the real, current list for this site.
Changes and Questions
This page changes when what we use changes. It sits alongside the Privacy Policy, which covers what ChathubMatch collects and the choices you have — read the two together rather than relying on either one alone. Questions about cookies or privacy are welcome through ChathubMatch support.
