How We Use Cookies on Our Website
Last updated: March 10, 2026
What Are Cookies and Why We Use Them
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your computer or mobile device when you visit them. Think of them as short notes a website leaves for itself so it can remember who you are and what you prefer the next time you return. They are completely standard across the internet, and nearly every website uses them.
At Dating Sites For Seniors, we use cookies to make your experience smoother and more personalized. Cookies help us remember your login information so you do not have to re-enter it each visit, store your display preferences such as light or dark mode, and understand how visitors navigate our platform so we can improve it. Without certain cookies, basic features of our site simply would not work properly.
Cookies do not give us access to your computer or any personal files. They cannot carry viruses or install harmful software. They are small data files - typically just a few kilobytes - that serve specific, limited purposes outlined below.
Types of Cookies We Use
| Cookie Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | Required for basic site functionality - login sessions, security tokens, and form submissions. The site cannot operate without these. | Session - 30 days |
| Functionality | Remember your preferences such as theme selection (light or dark mode), language settings, and display options for a personalized experience. | 6 months |
| Performance & Analytics | Collect anonymous data about how visitors use the site - which pages are visited most, how long users stay, and where errors occur. This helps us improve navigation and content. | 12 months |
| Marketing | Used to deliver relevant content and measure the effectiveness of our outreach. These may be set by trusted third-party partners and help us understand which information resonates with our audience. | 12 - 24 months |
Essential and functionality cookies are set by Dating Sites For Seniors directly. Performance and marketing cookies may be set by trusted third-party services described in the section below.
