At Date Night, we believe in being clear and open about how we collect and process data about you. This Cookie Policy explains our practices regarding the use of cookies (and similar tracking technologies) on our Services, and how you can manage your cookie settings.
Already know how cookies work and just want to adjust your settings? You can visit your Date Night account settings (on our website or in the app) to manage your cookie preferences at any time.
Want to learn more about cookies and how we use them? Please keep reading!
Note: This Cookie Policy covers how we use cookies specifically. It does not address the broader processing of your personal information (e.g., how long we store data, how we share data, etc.). For more information on those topics, please refer to our Privacy Policy.
1. WHAT ARE COOKIES?
Cookies are small text files that websites (including ours) send to or access from your browser or device’s memory. A cookie typically contains:
The name of the domain from which it originated.
A “lifetime” (how long it remains on your device).
A unique number or similar identifier (often randomly generated).
Cookies can also store information about your device, such as user preferences, browsing history, and other activities you carry out while using our Services.
2. TYPES OF COOKIES
We use various types of cookies and similar technologies to operate, secure, and improve our Services. Below are some key distinctions:
2.1 First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies
First-Party Cookies: Placed directly by Date Night. For example, we may use first-party cookies to remember your language preferences or to better understand how you interact with our website.
Third-Party Cookies: Placed by our partners and service providers (for instance, advertising networks or analytics providers). These cookies help us deliver, measure, and improve our marketing efforts. You can learn more about our partners through our in-app or website consent management tools (see Section 6 on how to control cookies).
2.2 Session vs. Persistent Cookies
Session Cookies: Last only until you close your browser. We often use session cookies to understand how you navigate our site during a single session and to make sure the site functions correctly for you throughout that session.
Persistent Cookies: Remain on your device even after you close your browser, until they expire or are deleted. Persistent cookies can store user preferences for subsequent visits, help with faster sign-ins, or assist with analytics.
3. OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES (WEB BEACONS, TRACKING URLs, SDKs)
Besides cookies, we (and certain third parties) use other technologies:
Web Beacons / Pixels / Tags / Clear GIFs: Small graphic files containing a unique identifier that lets us know when someone has opened an email or visited our Service pages.
Tracking URLs: Custom links that help us identify where website traffic originates (e.g., from a particular marketing campaign).
SDKs (Software Development Kits): Integrated into our mobile apps; they function similarly to cookies and web beacons, providing information on usage patterns, performance, and more.
For simplicity, we refer to these technologies collectively as “cookies” in this policy.
4. WHAT DO WE USE COOKIES FOR?
Like many online service providers, Date Night uses cookies to:
Provide and Secure Our Services
Letting you log in, preventing malicious activity, and remembering your preferences (like language or region).
Understand and Improve Our Services
Tracking usage patterns, analyzing site performance, and diagnosing issues.
Measure Marketing Campaigns
Determining how effective our marketing or promotional campaigns are.
Personalize Ads
Showing ads that are relevant to your interests and limiting the frequency of the same ad.
We may link information from cookies with personal data we already have about you to achieve these objectives.
Below are the types of cookies that may be placed on your device when you use Date Night:
4.1 Essential Cookies
Strictly necessary for providing our Services.
Examples:
Enabling secure logins.
Detecting malicious activity or policy violations.
Help us understand how users engage with Date Night.
We use them to see which pages you visit, how long you spend on certain pages, and to identify usage trends so we can improve our Services.
4.3 Advertising & Marketing Cookies
Used to measure the effectiveness of marketing campaigns and serve ads more relevant to you.
Examples:
Tracking how many people click on an ad or see a particular campaign.
Ensuring that you don’t see the same ad repeatedly.
Serving targeted ads based on your interests.
4.4 Social Networking Cookies
Allow you to share content you find on Date Night with third-party social networks or other websites/services.
These may also help tailor ads you see on those platforms.
5. EXAMPLES OF COOKIE USAGE
When you use Date Night, some or all of the following may happen:
We place a session cookie to keep you logged in during your visit.
Analytics providers (like Google Analytics) set cookies to measure traffic.
Advertising partners set cookies to help us deliver personalized ads.
Social platforms set cookies if you choose to connect or share content from Date Night.
6. HOW CAN YOU CONTROL COOKIES?
We offer a few ways to manage or disable cookies. However, please note that if you remove or block cookies, parts of our Services might become less personalized—or some features might not function at all.
6.1 Tools Provided by Date Night
Website Cookie Tool: If you’re on our website, you can set or adjust your cookie preferences using the cookie consent tool we provide.
App Settings: Within the Date Night mobile app, you can adjust certain privacy/cookie preferences in your account settings.
6.2 Browser & Device Controls
Browser Settings: Many web browsers let you block or delete cookies. The method to do this varies by browser, so consult your browser’s “Help” menu for instructions.
Device Settings: Some mobile devices let you reset identifiers or limit ad tracking in your device settings. Again, instructions differ by device.
6.3 Interest-Based Advertising Tools
Some advertising companies participate in self-regulatory programs allowing you to opt out of interest-based ads:
Opting out only means you won’t see personalized ads; you may still see non-personalized ads. Also, if you clear cookies after opting out, you’ll need to opt out again.
