Cookie Policy
Last Updated: April 14, 2026
At FireMatch, we believe in being transparent about how we collect and use data related to you. This Cookie Policy applies to any FireMatch product or service that links to this policy or incorporates it by reference. We use cookies and similar technologies to ensure our app and website function securely, to improve your experience, and to understand how our community interacts with our platform.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or other electronic device) when you visit our website or use our app. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site.
We also use other technologies such as web beacons, local storage, and mobile device identifiers that perform similar functions to cookies. For the purposes of this policy, we refer to all of these technologies collectively as "cookies."
2. Types of Cookies We Use
We use the following types of cookies to keep FireMatch running smoothly:
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These are cookies that are required for the operation of our platform. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to log into secure areas of our app safely, maintain your session while swiping, and protect your account from fraudulent activity. Without these cookies, the core functionality of FireMatch cannot be provided.
Functional Cookies
These are used to recognize you when you return to our platform. This enables us to personalize our content for you, greet you by name, and remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language, dark mode settings, or regional location).
Performance and Analytics Cookies
These allow us to recognize and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our platform when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way our app and website work, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily and that the Swipe Deck is loading quickly.
3. Third-Party Cookies
Please note that third parties (including, for example, providers of external services like web traffic analysis services) may also use cookies, over which we have no control. These cookies are likely to be analytical/performance cookies. We only partner with trusted analytics providers who adhere to strict data privacy standards.
Note: We do not use third-party advertising cookies to track you across other websites for targeted advertising. FireMatch relies on premium subscriptions, not selling your data to advertisers.
4. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You can manage your cookie preferences at any time. Most web browsers allow you to block cookies by activating the setting on your browser that allows you to refuse the setting of all or some cookies. However, if you use your browser settings to block all cookies (including Strictly Necessary cookies), you may not be able to access all or parts of our platform, and you will not be able to securely log into your account.
Within the FireMatch mobile app, you can manage your data sharing and analytics preferences directly within the "Settings & Privacy" menu.
