Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are and how we use them on the Kink-Y Community website. You should read this policy to understand what types of cookies we use and how you can control them.

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They allow the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, font size, and other display settings) over a period of time.

Our website uses minimal essential browser storage for basic functionality. This includes:

• Cookie Consent Preference:We store your cookie consent choice in your browser's local storage so we don't ask you again on every visit. This is strictly necessary and does not require consent.
• Session Data: Temporary session storage is used for UI state (e.g., navigation position) within the Telegram Mini App. This data is cleared when you close the browser tab.

We do not set any first-party cookies for tracking or advertising purposes.

With your consent, we use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors use our website. This helps us improve the user experience. Google Analytics is provided by Google LLC (USA) and Google Ireland Limited (EU).

Google Analytics sets the following cookies:

• _ga — Distinguishes unique visitors. Duration: 2 years.
• _ga_* — Maintains session state. Duration: 2 years.
• _gid — Distinguishes visitors within a 24-hour period. Duration: 24 hours.

Data collected by Google Analytics includes:

• Pages visited and time spent on each page
• How you arrived at our site (referral source)
• Your approximate geographic location (country/city level, derived from IP address)
• Device type, browser, and operating system
• Screen resolution and language settings

We do not use Google Analytics for advertising or remarketing. We do not share analytics data with third parties beyond Google's standard data processing.

Google Analytics data is processed in accordance with Google's privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy

Data transfer: Google may transfer data to servers in the United States. Google participates in the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. For more information, see: Google's data processing information

On our STI testing centers resource page, we embed Google Maps to display locations. When this map loads, Google may set its own cookies and collect data such as your IP address. This is subject to Google's privacy policy.

The map is only loaded when you visit the specific resource page that contains it.

Our Telegram Mini App operates within the Telegram platform. Authentication is handled entirely through Telegram's own secure system — we do not set any authentication cookies. Telegram has its own privacy policy that governs the platform: telegram.org/privacy

Cookie Consent Banner

When you first visit our website, a consent banner asks whether you accept analytics cookies. You can accept or reject them freely — rejecting is just as easy as accepting. Google Analytics will only load if you explicitly accept.

Change Your Preference

You can change your cookie preference at any time by clicking "Cookie Settings" in the website footer. This will reset your choice and show the consent banner again.

Browser Settings

You can also control cookies through your browser settings:

• Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies
• Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies
• Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Cookies
• Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions

Google Analytics Opt-Out

Google also provides a browser add-on to opt out of Google Analytics across all websites: Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please check this page regularly to stay informed of any changes.
