1. What Are Cookies

They serve a variety of purposes: remembering your preferences, keeping you signed in, understanding how you navigate our pages, and helping us improve our platform for American men seeking meaningful relationships with European women.
Cookies can be "session" cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or "persistent" cookies, which remain on your device for a set period or until you manually delete them. Some cookies are set by us (first-party cookies), while others are placed by third-party services that appear on our pages.
