Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how instabang.chat (the “Service”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit or use our random video chat website. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

1 What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by your browser when you visit a website. Similar technologies include local storage, pixels, SDKs, and device identifiers.

We use these technologies to make the Service work, keep it secure, and understand how it is performing.

2 Why We Use Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:

A — Strictly Necessary (Essential)

These are required for the Service to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are used for things like:

  • keeping the site stable and secure;
  • preventing abuse, spam, and fraud;
  • load balancing and basic performance; and
  • remembering key choices (for example, consent preferences where applicable).

B — Functional (Preferences)

These help the Service remember your choices and improve your experience, such as:

  • language and region preferences; and
  • interface settings.

C — Analytics (Measurement)

These help us understand how the Service is used so we can improve it, such as:

  • which pages are visited;
  • how often users connect and disconnect; and
  • performance metrics and error reporting.

Where required by law (for example in the UK and EU), analytics cookies are used only after you consent.

D — Security and Integrity

We may use cookies and similar signals to:

  • detect bot activity and ban evasion;
  • enforce rate limits and prevent abusive behaviour; and
  • protect users and the platform.

3 What We Do Not Use Cookies For

  • We do not use cookies to store your live video or audio chats.
  • We do not sell personal information collected via cookies.

4 Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies may be set by third-party service providers we use for hosting, security, or analytics. Those providers may process data according to their own privacy policies.

We contractually require third-party providers to handle your data in a manner consistent with applicable privacy law and this policy.

5 How Long Cookies Last

Cookies can be:

Session cookies Deleted automatically when you close your browser. Used for essential session management.
Persistent cookies Remain on your device until they expire or you delete them. Used for preferences, analytics, and security.

We keep cookies only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy.

6 Managing Cookies

You can control cookies in several ways:

  • Cookie banner / settings — if available, you can accept or reject non-essential cookies directly on the Service;
  • Browser settings — you can block or delete cookies through your browser’s privacy settings; and
  • Device settings — some devices allow additional controls over tracking technologies.

If you block essential cookies, parts of the Service may not work properly.

7 Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. We will update this page when changes are made. Continued use of the Service after updates are posted means you accept the revised policy to the extent permitted by law.
