How we remember you
Cookies are small files your browser stores so EasternSingles can keep your session secure, remember your search filters and keep the browsing experience consistent each time you return. This policy explains, in plain terms, what cookies we use and why - and how you stay in control of your choices.
For broader guidance on protecting your account and personal information, read our online dating safety tips before you browse further.
The short answer
A cookie is a small text file that your browser stores when you visit EasternSingles, letting the site recognize your device the next time you return. Dating platforms rely on cookies to keep a signed-in session secure, apply search filters like country, city or age range without re-entering them each visit, and avoid the kind of session errors that make browsing frustrating.
Without a small set of essential cookies, features such as search and secure sign-in would not function reliably. Our privacy policy explains what happens to any information collected once you are signed in.
Three simple categories
Every cookie on EasternSingles falls into one of three categories, each serving a distinct, practical purpose.
Essential cookies keep you signed in, protect your session while you browse, and support the flow when you purchase credits. Disabling these would prevent you from accessing your account or completing a purchase, so they cannot be turned off within the platform.
Analytics cookies show us, in aggregate, which pages and search features members use most, helping us improve navigation and the overall experience. This information does not identify you personally and is never used to build advertising profiles.
Preference cookies remember choices such as your display language, saved search filters and layout settings, so the site feels familiar every time you return. Turning these off simply resets your filters and preferences on each new visit.
You decide
Most browsers let you view, block or delete cookies through their privacy settings, and you can do this at any time without contacting us. Because essential cookies keep your account secure, disabling them will prevent you from signing in or completing a purchase, so we recommend adjusting only analytics and preference cookies unless you intend to stop using the account altogether.
For habits that protect you beyond cookie settings, see our guide to online dating safety and privacy.
