What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website can store on your browser or device. Similar technologies—such as local storage, session storage, pixels, software development kits, and device identifiers—can perform related functions.
This policy uses the word “cookies” as a convenient shorthand for cookies and similar technologies used in connection with the wadaCrush website.
Technologies We Use
Depending on the page, device, browser, and features you use, wadaCrush may rely on the following categories of technologies:
Technologies needed for core website functions, security, navigation, form behavior, or remembering a choice necessary to provide a requested feature.
Technologies that can remember settings or choices so the website behaves more consistently when you return.
Google Analytics may use measurement technologies to show how visitors find and interact with public website pages so wadaCrush can improve content, performance, and reliability.
Third-party content, such as an embedded video, may use cookies or similar technologies when that content loads or when you interact with it.
Not every category is necessarily active on every page or for every visitor.
Why We Use Them
Cookies and similar technologies may be used to:
- Keep website navigation and interactive features working correctly.
- Remember limited preferences or consent choices where applicable.
- Protect the website from abuse, fraud, or technical misuse.
- Understand basic website performance and diagnose errors.
- Load or operate embedded content that you choose to view.
- Improve the usability and reliability of wadaCrush over time.
Cookie data is handled separately from the product logic that keeps crush identities discreet until the applicable mutual-reveal conditions are met.
Third-Party Content and Services
Some wadaCrush pages may include content or services provided by third parties. For example, when a page contains an embedded video, the video provider may receive information about your browser or device and may use its own cookies or similar technologies.
Google Analytics: wadaCrush uses Google Analytics 4 to measure public website visits and interactions. Google Analytics may process information such as the page visited, referral source, browser and device characteristics, approximate geographic information, and measurement identifiers. wadaCrush disables Google Signals and advertising-personalization signals in the website tag and does not intentionally send names, email addresses, phone numbers, crush details, support-form content, or unsubscribe tokens to Google Analytics.
YouTube: wadaCrush may embed YouTube video content. When that content loads or you interact with it, Google/YouTube may process information under its own privacy and cookie practices. wadaCrush does not control third-party cookies once they are set by those providers.
Links to external services such as the App Store, Google Play, or social platforms take you to those providers when clicked. Their privacy and cookie practices apply once you leave the wadaCrush website.
How Long Cookies Last
Cookie duration depends on its purpose:
- Session cookies generally expire when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies can remain for a defined period or until you remove them through your browser settings.
- Third-party cookies follow the retention practices of the third-party provider that sets them.
Where wadaCrush controls a cookie or similar storage technology, we aim to retain it only as long as reasonably necessary for its stated purpose.
Your Cookie Choices
You have several ways to control cookies and similar browser technologies:
- Browser controls: Most browsers let you view, block, or delete cookies through privacy or site-data settings.
- Private browsing: Private or incognito modes may limit how long local browser data is retained.
- Third-party settings: Third-party providers may offer their own privacy or advertising controls.
- Google Analytics controls: You can use browser privacy settings, content-blocking tools, or the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on where supported.
- Cookie or consent controls: If wadaCrush presents a cookie-preference control in your region, you can use it to manage optional categories that are available through that control.
Blocking all cookies may affect features that depend on browser storage or third-party media, but basic informational content should remain available where technically possible.
Browser Privacy Signals
Some browsers can send signals such as Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control. Standards and legal requirements for these signals continue to evolve. Where applicable law requires wadaCrush to recognize a browser-based opt-out preference signal, we will handle that signal in accordance with the law.
Updates to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when our website, embedded services, legal obligations, or cookie practices change. The “Updated” date at the top of this page will show when this policy was most recently revised.
If a change materially affects how optional cookies or similar technologies are used, we may also provide an additional notice or consent choice where required.
