Cookie Policy

Last updated: May 2026

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies SOCmate uses when you visit socmate.io, and what choices you have.

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website. They allow the site to remember your preferences and understand how you interact with it. In addition to cookies, we also use browser localStorage - a similar mechanism that stores data locally on your device without an expiry date unless you clear your browser data.

2. Cookies and Storage We Use

We use a minimal set of cookies and web storage. No advertising or profiling cookies are used.

3. Third-Party Services

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand aggregate usage patterns (page views, session duration). This service sets cookies on your device and transmits data to Google servers, which may be located outside the EU. Google acts as a data processor under a Data Processing Agreement. You can learn more at policies.google.com/privacy.

We use EmailJS to process contact form submissions. No cookies are set by EmailJS. Your submitted email address is used solely to respond to your enquiry.

4. Managing Cookies

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Useful links:

To opt out of Google Analytics tracking specifically, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Note: deleting the language localStorage entry will reset your language preference to the browser default.

5. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy to reflect changes to the technologies we use. The latest version will always be available at this URL. Material changes will be communicated via a notice on the website.
