1. Introduction

At Chattsphere, we prioritize your privacy and security. This Cookie Policy explains our minimal use of cookies and similar technologies to provide our services. Unlike many websites, we use only what's essential and avoid unnecessary tracking.

This policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and what control you have over them when using our platform.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the website remember your actions and preferences for a period of time so that you don't have to keep re-entering information or preferences when you return to the site or browse from one page to another.

There are different types of cookies:

• Session cookies: These are temporary and expire when you close your browser.
• Persistent cookies: These remain on your device until they expire or you delete them.
• First-party cookies: Set by the website you're visiting.
• Third-party cookies: Set by a different domain than the website you're visiting (we avoid these).

• We use only the minimal cookies necessary to provide our service
• We do not use third-party tracking or advertising cookies
• We do not use cookies to build user profiles or track behavior
