Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how SeniorDatingSenior ("we," "our," or "us") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit seniordatingsenior.com. We have written it in plain language so you can read it once and know exactly what is happening on your device.
Quick Summary
- We use a small number of cookies to keep the site working, improve it, and remember your preferences.
- We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use cookies for cross-site advertising.
- You can disable most cookies in your browser at any time. Essential cookies are required for login and security.
What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your computer, phone, or tablet when you visit. They let the site recognize your device on return visits, keep you signed in, and remember settings like your preferred theme. Similar technologies - such as local storage and pixels - work in comparable ways, and we treat them all under this policy.
Cookies cannot read files from your device, install software, or access your camera or microphone. They simply store short pieces of information that the website that set them can read later.
Types of Cookies We Use
SeniorDatingSenior uses three categories of cookies. Each has a clear purpose, and none is used for advertising networks or data brokers.
Essential Cookies
Required for the site to function. They keep you signed in, protect against fraudulent login attempts, remember your consent choices, and secure your account. You cannot turn these off and use the service - that is a limitation of how logins work, not a policy choice.
Analytics Cookies
Help us understand which pages are read, which features members use, and where the site is slow or confusing. Data is aggregated and does not identify you personally. We use this information to improve the farmer dating experience, not to profile individuals.
Preference Cookies
Remember small comfort settings between visits - light or dark theme, dismissed notices, and saved search filters like farming type or state. These are optional. Turning them off simply means the site forgets those choices next time.
At a Glance
| Category | Purpose | Typical Duration | Can You Disable? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | Login, security, consent memory | Session to 12 months | No - required for service |
| Analytics | Aggregated usage, page performance | Up to 24 months | Yes |
| Preferences | Theme, saved filters, dismissed banners | Up to 12 months | Yes |
Third-Party Cookies
A few trusted service providers set their own cookies when you use SeniorDatingSenior. These providers help us keep the site running and understand performance. We only work with vendors that publish clear privacy practices.
- Analytics providers - measure aggregated, non-identifying traffic patterns so we can improve pages.
- Security providers - protect against abusive traffic, credential stuffing, and fraudulent sign-ups.
- Content delivery networks - speed up image and page loading, especially on mobile connections in rural areas.
We do not run banner advertising networks, and we do not allow third-party advertisers to track you across other websites from SeniorDatingSenior. Cookies from third parties are governed by their own privacy policies, and you can manage them the same way you manage ours - in your browser settings.
How to Manage Your Cookie Preferences
You are in control. Most browsers let you block cookies, delete them, or be warned before one is set. Here is how to reach the settings in the major browsers most of our members use.
Open Browser Settings
In Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or Safari, open the menu (usually three dots or lines in the top-right corner) and select Settings or Preferences.
Find Privacy Controls
Look for a section labeled Privacy, Security, or Privacy and Security. Most browsers place cookie controls under a heading like Cookies and Site Data.
Choose Your Level
You can block all cookies, block only third-party cookies, clear existing cookies, or allow cookies from specific sites. Blocking essential cookies will sign you out.
Direct browser help pages - Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Microsoft Edge - each provide step-by-step instructions specific to desktop and mobile versions. If you share a computer with family members, clearing cookies is also a simple way to sign out of every site at once.
A Note on Disabling Cookies
If you turn off essential cookies, you will not be able to stay logged in to SeniorDatingSenior. Message threads, saved filters, and verification badges all rely on a secure session. This is a technical limitation of every major dating site, not a penalty for privacy-minded members.
Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" signal. Because there is no industry-wide agreement on what this signal means, we treat it as a strong preference and do not load analytics cookies when we detect it. We continue to use essential cookies so you can remain signed in and secure.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when we add new features, change service providers, or improve our privacy practices. When we do, we will revise the effective date at the top of this page and, for meaningful changes, post a notice on the site or send a courtesy email to signed-in members. We recommend checking this page once a year, the same way you would review any long-term account setting.
Questions About Cookies
If any part of this policy is unclear, or if you would like to exercise your rights regarding data we store, we are glad to help. You can reach our U.S.-based support team through our contact page, and you can read the broader rules that govern the site in our Privacy Policy and Terms & Conditions.
For questions about how we verify profiles and protect members from online risks, our Safety Tips page is a useful companion to this Cookie Policy.
