Cookies and similar storage are small pieces of information saved by your browser. Dating40Over keeps their use to a minimum.
What we use
- Keeping you signed in (strictly necessary) — your browser stores a secure sign-in token so you stay signed in between pages. It's removed when you sign out.
- Payments (strictly necessary) — when you buy Premium, our payment provider Stripe sets cookies to process the payment securely and prevent fraud.
- Sign in with Google or Apple (strictly necessary) — if you choose this, those companies set their own cookies during sign-in.
What we don't use
We don't use advertising cookies, tracking pixels or cookies that follow you around other websites. [If analytics are added later, this policy will be updated and we'll ask for your consent first.]
Why there's no cookie banner
UK law (the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations) lets websites use strictly necessary cookies without asking first. As we only use these, we don't show a consent banner.
Controlling cookies
You can clear or block cookies in your browser settings. If you block the essential ones, you won't be able to sign in or pay.
