This Cookie Policy explains how The City of Dating, LLC (“The City of Dating”, “we”, “us” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies in connection with the www.thecityofdating.com website and any other website that we own or control and which posts or links to this Cookie Policy (collectively, the “Sites”).

What are cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies serve different purposes, like improving your browsing experience, helping you navigate easily between pages, remembering your preferences, and helping companies understand how a site is being used.

Our Sites may use both session cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent cookies (which stay on your computer or mobile device until you delete them).

We use two broad categories of cookies: (1) first-party cookies, served directly by us to your computer or mobile device, which we use to recognize your computer or mobile device when it revisits our Sites; and (2) third-party cookies, which are served by service providers or business partners on our Sites, and can be used by these parties to recognize your computer or mobile device when it visits other websites. Third-party cookies can be used for a variety of purposes, including site analytics, advertising, and social media features.

Types of cookies and similar tracking technologies The City of Dating uses.

On the Sites, we use cookies and other tracking technologies in the following categories described below.

ADVERTISING.

These cookies are used by advertising companies to collect information about how you use our Sites and other websites over time. These companies use this information to show you ads they believe will be relevant to you within our Service and other areas and to measure how the ads perform.

Who serves these cookies: Google

ANALYTICS.

These cookies help us understand how our Service is performing and being used. These cookies may work with web beacons included in emails or SMS messages we send to track which are opened and which links are clicked by recipients.

Who serves these cookies: Squarespace, MailChimp

Other technologies

BROWSER WEB STORAGE.

We may use browser web storage (including via HTML5), also known as locally stored objects (“LSOs”), for similar purposes as cookies. Browser web storage enables the storage of a larger amount of data than cookies. Your web browser may provide the functionality to clear your browser's web storage.

WEB BEACONS.

We may also use web beacons (which are also known as pixel tags and clear GIFs) on our Sites and in our HTML-formatted emails to track the actions of users on our Sites and interactions with our emails. Unlike cookies, which are stored on the hard drive of your computer or mobile device by a website, pixel tags are embedded invisibly on webpages or within HTML-formatted emails. Pixel tags are used to demonstrate that a webpage was accessed or that certain content was viewed, typically to measure the success of our marketing campaigns or engagement with our emails (e.g., they may tell us whether you have opened an email, and/or forwarded it on to someone else) and to compile statistics about usage of the Sites, so that we can manage our content more effectively.

Your choices.

BLOCKING COOKIES IN YOUR BROWSER

Most browsers let you remove or reject cookies, including cookies used for interest-based advertising. To reject or remove cookies, follow the instructions in your browser settings. Many browsers accept cookies by default. However, you can change these settings when the cookie option is displayed to you on our Sites. If you do not accept our cookies, you may experience some inconvenience in your use of our Sites.

ADVERTISING INDUSTRY OPT-OUT TOOLS.

Users may opt out of receiving targeted advertising on websites, such as the Network Advertising Initiative or the Digital Advertising Alliance. European users may opt out of receiving targeted advertising on websites through the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance. Please note that we may work with companies that offer their own opt-out mechanisms and may not participate in the opt-out mechanisms we linked above.

If you choose to opt out of targeted advertisements, you will still see advertisements online, but they may not be relevant to you. Even if you do choose to opt-out, not all companies that serve online behavioral advertising are included in this list, and so you may still receive some cookies and tailored advertisements from companies that are not listed.

For more information about how we collect, use, and share your information, see our Privacy Policy.

Cookie Changes

Information about the cookies we use may be updated from time to time, so please check back on a regular basis for any changes.
