Tinychat Cookie Policy

Effective Date: January 1, 2026 | Last Updated: August 11, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Tinychat ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies, browser local storage tokens, and related web tracking technologies on https://us-tinychat.com/.

1. What Are Cookies and Web Storage?

Cookies are small text files stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit web applications. Local Storage is a modern HTML5 web technology allowing web applications to store lightweight preferences locally inside your browser without sending persistent cookies to servers on every HTTP request.

2. Cookie Classifications We Use

A. Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies

These files are crucial for enabling basic features such as WebRTC signaling handshake maintenance, anonymous session tokens, security moderation checks, and language preferences. The platform cannot function without these essential technical cookies.

B. Performance & Functionality Cookies

We use functional local storage keys to remember your display preferences (such as audio mute state, dark theme choices, and pop-up modal timer states). These help customize your experience without requiring account logins.

C. Third-Party & Affiliate Tracking Identifiers

When you click promotional buttons or external links (such as /join/), third-party affiliate networks may use tracking cookies to record referral conversions. These cookies do not store personally identifiable webcam data.

3. How to Manage and Disable Cookies

You can control or disable cookies at any time using your web browser settings. Please note that disabling essential cookies may impact your ability to establish peer-to-peer video streams on Tinychat.
