Last updated: 1 January 2025 · How Chat4Smile uses cookies and how to manage them
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to remember information about your visit, such as your preferred settings and whether you have accepted our cookie notice. Cookies do not give us access to your device and cannot be used to identify you personally unless you have provided us with personal information.
These cookies are strictly necessary for Chat4Smile to function. Without them, parts of the site would not work properly. These cookies cannot be disabled.
We use Google Analytics to understand how users interact with Chat4Smile — which pages are most popular, how long users spend on the site, and where visitors come from. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect this data anonymously.
You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Chat4Smile displays advertisements through Google AdSense (Publisher ID: ca-pub-3979458831488946). These advertisements are what allow us to provide Chat4Smile entirely free of charge. Google AdSense uses cookies to serve relevant ads based on your interests.
You can control personalised advertising through Google Ads Settings or aboutads.info. If you opt out of personalised ads, you will still see advertisements on Chat4Smile — they just will not be personalised to your interests.
The CodyChat embedded chat rooms may also set their own cookies for chat session functionality. Please consult the CodyChat privacy policy for details about those cookies.
