Cookie Policy

ondate.com operates a strict privacy policy around the world. We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use, and we've outlined below how we use cookies when you visit our site at ondate.com or any of its subdomains.

What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small snippet of text that a website asks your browser to store. All cookies have expiration dates in them that determine how long they stay in your browser. Cookies can be removed in two ways: automatically, when they expire, or when you manually delete them. We've included more details below to help you understand what kinds of cookies we use.

Does ondate.com use cookies?

Yes, with the primary purpose to make our website work more effectively.

What kinds of cookies does ondate.com use and why?

We use different kinds of cookies for various reasons:

Session cookies

These are temporary cookies that expire (and are automatically erased) whenever you close your browser. We use session cookies to grant access to content and enable commenting (things you have to log in to do).

Persistent cookies

These usually have an expiration date far into the future and thus stay in your browser until they expire, or until you manually delete them. We use persistent cookies for functionalities like the "Stay logged in" tickbox, which makes it possible for registered users to return to the site without having to log in. We also use persistent cookies to better understand usage patterns so we can improve the site for our customers. This information is anonymised - when we look at the data, in other words, we look at patterns, but we do not see individuals' personally identified information (PII).

What other cookies might I encounter on ondate.com?

There are also limited third-party cookies on the site. These cookies could be session or persistent and are set by entities other than ondate.com. To ensure compliance with our policies, we restrict the use of third-party cookies to trusted partners of ondate.com. For example, we currently allow:

Social sharing and login

When you register or log in to ondate.com with credentials from social networks like Facebook or Twitter, you authorise them to store a persistent cookie that will remember you and grant you access to our site every time you visit until it expires. You can delete that cookie (and revoke the access it grants) by updating your preferences with each respective social network. So if you no longer want to be able to log in through Facebook, you'll need to update your settings at Facebook.

Audience measurement and validation

We use services such as Omniture, Chartbeat, and Google Analytics to understand how many people come and what is popular, which helps us improve the website. Additionally, we use tools like Quantcast and Comscore to validate our understanding of that information for advertising. No personally identifiable information (PII) is stored and site usage is always looked at on an aggregate (and anonymous) level.

What kinds of cookies does ondate.com not use?

We do not use re-targeting cookies and do not use flash cookies (sometimes known as local shared objects or LSOs). We do not allow third-party advertising networks to drop cookies on our site to behaviourally target advertising to our users, either.

Does ondate.com use any so-called "intrusive" cookies?

No. We don't use re-targeting cookies or flash cookies or any other kind of cookie that can capture personally identifiable information (PII).

Does ondate.com use cookies to sell customer information?

No.

How can I delete or disable cookies?

If you want to delete or disable cookies, see: www.allaboutcookies.org/manage-cookies.

Will the site work if I disable cookies?

You can browse ondate.com with cookies disabled, though some interactions may not work. For example, ticking the "Stay logged in" box at login will not actually keep you logged in to the site unless you have enabled cookies. You may not login to your account, nor may you post an ad without having cookies enabled.

Why does the message explaining cookies keep appearing?

If you close the banner and it reappears the next time you visit us, you most likely have cookies disabled. We use a persistent cookie to remember that you closed the banner, but this only works when cookies on our site are enabled.

What is the European Advertising Standards Alliance (EASA)?

The European Advertising Standards Alliance (EASA) is the single authoritative voice on advertising self-regulation issues. It promotes high ethical standards in commercial communications by means of effective self-regulation, while being mindful of national differences of culture, legal and commercial practice. For more information on cookies, see: http://www.allaboutcookies.org. For more information on EASA, see http://www.easa-alliance.org
