This Cookie Policy explains how DesiCouplesZ (“DCZ”), operated by DCZ Media Holdings LLC, uses cookies and similar technologies. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a site stores on your device. They let a site recognise your browser between requests — which is what makes it possible to stay signed in as you move from page to page.
2. Cookies we set
| Cookie | Purpose | Category | Expires |
|---|---|---|---|
| dcz_access | Keeps you signed in. Contains a short-lived session token. HTTP-only, so it cannot be read by JavaScript. | Strictly necessary | 2 hours |
| dcz_refresh | Renews your session so you are not signed out constantly. Only sent to the authentication endpoint. | Strictly necessary | Up to 90 days ("Remember me") |
| __cf_bm / cf_clearance | Set by Cloudflare to tell humans from bots and to protect the login and signup forms from automated abuse. | Strictly necessary (third party — Cloudflare) | 30 minutes to 1 year |
3. What we do not use
- No advertising or retargeting cookies
- No third-party tracking pixels (no Meta pixel, no ad-network tags)
- No cross-site profiling, and no sale or sharing of your data with data brokers
- No cookies that record your browsing on other websites
Because every cookie we set is strictly necessary to deliver a service you have asked for, we do not show a consent banner for non-essential cookies — there aren't any. If that ever changes, we will ask for your consent first.
4. Local storage and similar technologies
We use your browser's local storage for small interface preferences (for example remembering a chosen tab or a dismissed prompt). This stays on your device and is not transmitted to us.
5. Location permissions are not cookies
Precise (GPS) location is requested through your browser's permission prompt, not through cookies, and is always optional. See Section 9 of our Terms for how location data is collected and used.
6. Managing cookies
You can delete or block cookies in your browser settings. Be aware that blocking the cookies listed above will stop you being able to sign in — the site cannot keep you authenticated without them.
7. Changes to this policy
We will update this page if our use of cookies changes, and revise the “last updated” date above.
