This Cookie Policy explains how DateMantra (“DateMantra”, “we”, “us” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit datemantra.com.
This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use and protect personal information.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device when you visit them. They are commonly used to make websites work correctly, remember preferences, understand how visitors use a website and, where applicable, provide relevant advertising.
Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser (“session cookies”), while others remain on your device for a specified period (“persistent cookies”).
We may also use similar technologies, such as local storage, pixels or tags. References to “cookies” in this policy include these technologies where appropriate.
2. How DateMantra uses cookies
DateMantra may use cookies for the following purposes:
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are required for the website to function properly. They may be used for purposes such as:
- keeping you securely signed in;
- maintaining user sessions;
- protecting forms and accounts against security threats;
- remembering cookie consent choices; and
- providing features that you specifically request.
Because these cookies are necessary for the operation or security of the website, they generally cannot be disabled through our cookie settings.
Preference cookies
Preference cookies allow DateMantra to remember choices you make, such as your display or theme preferences, so that we can provide a more personalised experience.
Analytics cookies
With your consent where required, we may use analytics services such as Google Analytics to understand how visitors use DateMantra.
Analytics may provide information such as:
- pages visited;
- approximate location;
- device and browser type;
- referring website or source;
- time spent on pages; and
- interactions with the website.
We use this information to understand website performance, identify problems and improve DateMantra.
Google may process information collected through Google Analytics in accordance with its own privacy policies.
Advertising and marketing cookies
We may use advertising, marketing or measurement technologies to understand the effectiveness of campaigns or display relevant advertising.
Where these technologies are not strictly necessary, they will only be activated where you have provided the consent required by applicable law.
Affiliate tracking
Some pages on DateMantra may contain affiliate links to dating apps, websites, products or services.
When you follow an affiliate link, the third-party provider or affiliate network may use cookies or similar technologies to identify that your visit or purchase originated from DateMantra. This allows the provider to attribute a referral or commission to us.
These cookies are normally controlled by the relevant third party rather than DateMantra. Their use is subject to that provider’s own privacy and cookie policies.
3. First-party and third-party cookies
First-party cookies are set directly by DateMantra and may be used for functions such as authentication, security and remembering preferences.
Third-party cookies are set or accessed by external services used on our website. These may include analytics providers, advertising platforms, embedded services and affiliate networks.
The exact third parties involved may change as we add, remove or update services on DateMantra.
4. Your cookie choices
When you first visit DateMantra, you may be presented with a cookie consent notice that allows you to accept or manage non-essential cookies.
Where consent is required, we will not intentionally activate non-essential cookies until you have made the appropriate choice.
You can change or withdraw your cookie choices through our cookie settings where this feature is available.
You can also control or delete cookies through your web browser. Most browsers allow you to:
- view stored cookies;
- delete individual or all cookies;
- block cookies from particular websites;
- block third-party cookies; or
- prevent cookies from being stored.
Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent certain parts of DateMantra from functioning correctly.
5. How long cookies are stored
The length of time a cookie remains on your device depends on its purpose and the service that sets it.
Session cookies normally expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain for a defined period or until you delete them.
Where practical, DateMantra aims to retain cookies only for as long as reasonably necessary for their intended purpose.
6. Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when we introduce new features, change the technologies or third-party services we use, or where legal or regulatory requirements change.
The latest version will always be published on this page, together with the date it was last updated.
