Cookie Policy

1. Scope

This Cookie Policy explains how How I Met may use cookies, local storage, device storage, software development kits, pixels, identifiers, and similar technologies on the public website, web surfaces, and mobile app.

Some technologies are browser-based, while others are app-based or device-based. We refer to them together as "similar technologies" in this Policy.

2. Necessary technologies

Necessary technologies help the service work. They may keep sessions active, remember basic choices, route traffic, load content, secure accounts, prevent abuse, detect errors, and maintain service availability.

These technologies are required for core service operation and may not be available for opt-out through the service itself.

3. Preference technologies

Preference technologies may remember choices such as language, display settings, sign-in state, app settings, or other convenience preferences.

If you clear browser or app storage, some preferences may reset.

4. Analytics and diagnostics

Analytics and diagnostic technologies may help us understand performance, reliability, crashes, errors, feature usage, and service quality.

We use this information to troubleshoot problems, improve user experience, maintain security, and prioritize product work.

5. Security and abuse prevention

Security technologies may help detect suspicious activity, protect accounts, reduce spam, investigate reports, enforce rate limits, and prevent unauthorized access.

Disabling these technologies may reduce service reliability or prevent some features from working.

6. Mobile app storage and permissions

The mobile app may use device storage for authentication, app state, preferences, cached content, diagnostics, and feature operation.

Device permissions such as notifications, photos, camera, microphone, motion, or location are managed through your operating system settings.

7. Managing choices

You can manage cookies and local storage through your browser settings. You can reset app storage, revoke permissions, disable notifications, or uninstall the app through your device settings.

Some choices are device-specific or browser-specific, so you may need to apply them on each device or browser you use.

8. Updates

We may update this Cookie Policy as the service, technology, or legal requirements change. The latest version will be posted on this page.
