1. About this policy.
This policy applies to the public website at privatesugarmatch.com, operated under the name PrivateSugarMatch. It explains cookies and related browser technologies in the context of the website currently provided. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which addresses personal information and support correspondence.
This policy concerns the public information website. Account-based services may use separate session and preference technologies, as described in the notice provided with those services. Read the relevant information when using a member account.
2. Cookies and related technologies.
A cookie is a small value a website can ask a browser to retain and return with later requests. Cookies may support essential functions, remember a preference or help measure activity, depending on their design and purpose. A cookie is not inherently an advertising tool; the information it contains and the way it is used determine its role.
Other technologies can retain information without using cookies. Local storage can keep a value in the browser until it is removed, while session storage is associated with a browsing session. Tracking pixels and scripts can send information to another service even when they do not create an obvious local file. These distinctions matter when evaluating what a website actually does.
3. The current public website.
Our public information pages include Google Analytics 4, provided by Google, to measure visits, page views, traffic sources and interactions. It can set first-party cookies such as _ga and _ga_3KBF8T1XHG to distinguish browsers and sessions. Their default expiration is two years and may be renewed on subsequent visits. Google signals and advertising-personalisation signals are disabled in our website tag.
Navigation menus and expandable questions operate within the page. Using these controls does not create a member profile or save your dating preferences in persistent browser storage.
Website-delivery services can also process technical information needed to serve a page and protect its availability. Their operation is distinct from optional advertising or analytics, as explained in the Privacy Policy.
4. Cookies, cache and network records.
A browser may cache images, styles and other public resources to avoid downloading the same file repeatedly. A cached image is not a member record or, by itself, an advertising identifier. Clearing browser cookies and clearing cached files are related settings, but may affect different stored information.
Network requests also involve technical information such as the requested address and IP information needed to deliver a response. Server or security logs are not cookies merely because they concern a website visit. Their handling belongs to the broader privacy notice and the configuration of the relevant provider.
Sending us an email opens your email service, whose storage and account practices are independent of this website. Following an external link can also take you to a site with its own cookies. Read the destination’s notice if you want to understand its practices.
5. Managing your browser.
Most browsers allow you to inspect site data, remove stored values, block certain cookies and restrict third-party access. The names and locations of those controls vary by browser and version. Use the privacy or site-settings section of your browser and check whether a change applies to this website, a particular provider or all websites.
Deleting site data can reset preferences or sign you out of services that use account cookies. Blocking cookies may affect features on other websites even though this public website does not currently rely on an application login cookie. A private browsing window generally separates a session from some existing browser data; it does not make all network activity anonymous.
Changing browser settings does not delete a support email you have already sent or require a third-party site to erase its server records. For a request about information held by PrivateSugarMatch, use the contact process described in our Privacy Policy.
6. Analytics, preferences and advertising choices.
Google Analytics measures activity on the public website. You can block or remove its cookies using browser settings, or install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. For Google's handling of information, see how Google uses information from sites that use its services. We do not use the website tag for personalised advertising.
Reading this policy does not by itself constitute consent to optional tracking. Browser privacy controls and the opt-out add-on provide ways to restrict Google Analytics collection.
7. Contact and updates.
For questions about browser storage or a cookie you observe while visiting the website, email support@PrivateSugarMatch.com. Include the page address, browser name and, if available, the cookie name and domain. Do not send the cookie’s value: it can contain sensitive information or a session credential on services that use authentication.
Our mailing address is PrivateSugarMatch, 1259 Everett Avenue, Louisville, Kentucky 40204, USA. We may update this policy when the website or its delivery services change. The effective date identifies the version presented here. The Contact page provides further guidance for privacy enquiries.
