Cookie Policy.
We believe in complete transparency. Learn how we use essential cookies and storage technologies to keep your chat sessions secure and fast — with zero third-party ad tracking.
Contact Privacy OfficeWhat Are Cookies?
Cookies and browser local storage are small data files saved on your device when you visit our website. They act as a memory mechanism that allows the site to recognize your browser, keep you signed in securely, and remember your interface settings without tracking your real-world identity.
Strictly Essential Cookies
These cookies and tokens are strictly necessary for the platform to function. They handle secure authentication (via cryptographic session tokens), manage real-time WebSocket room connections, prevent Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF), and enforce rate-limiting and anti-ban safeguards. Because the platform cannot operate safely without them, essential cookies cannot be switched off.
Preferences & Form Storage
We store minimal functional preferences in your browser’s local storage to streamline your experience. This includes your theme preference (Light or Dark mode), sound and notification volume, and your landing page quick chat form defaults (such as your detected country and province). These ensure you don't have to reconfigure your setup on every single visit.
Zero Third-Party Ad Tracking
Catchy Chat respects your privacy by design. We do not sell, rent, or monetize your activity. We do not embed third-party advertising cookies, Facebook/Meta tracking pixels, retargeting beacons, or behavioral profiling trackers anywhere on our website. Your conversations and interactions remain strictly between you and your chat partners.
Ephemeral Guest Sessions
Public room chat sessions for anonymous guests are entirely ephemeral. Temporary connection tokens and memory states are purged as soon as your session ends or you leave the chat room. Registered accounts utilize encrypted authentication tokens to maintain an uninterrupted login state across devices.
Managing Your Cookie Settings
You can customize your preferences at any time through our Cookie Consent Banner by choosing either "Essential" (only strictly required security and session tokens) or "Accept All" (including convenient UI preferences). You can also clear or block cookies directly from your web browser settings (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, etc.) at any time.
Policy Updates & Contact
We may periodically update this Cookie Policy to reflect technical enhancements, architectural updates, or regulatory requirements. Any modifications will be posted here with an updated revision date. If you have questions regarding our cookie practices, our privacy team is available to assist you.
Privacy-first by design.
We only use cookies to maintain your chat security and smooth site navigation. No marketing networks, no profiling, and no sold data — ever.
