Technical Storage & Tracking Transparency

Cookie Policy

Understand how tiny chat uses cookies and browser storage technologies to maintain secure, high-speed stranger video matchmaking.

1. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?

Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or mobile device by your web browser when visiting websites. In addition to HTTP cookies, modern web applications like tiny chat utilize HTML5 LocalStorage and SessionStorage to retain state information (such as your chosen interest tags, camera index, and speaker volume preferences) without continuously transmitting tracking payloads across server roundtrips.

2. Categories of Cookies We Use

tiny chat believes in minimal, privacy-first data persistence. We categorize our technical cookies as follows:

Type	Purpose	Duration
Strictly Necessary	Essential for WebSockets, WebRTC signaling handshakes, load balancing, and CSRF security tokens.	Session only
Functional	Remembers your audio gain preferences, selected camera resolution, and saved interest tags.	Persistent (up to 30 days)
Authentication	Keeps members securely signed into their accounts via encrypted tokens without re-prompting credentials.	Session / 14 days
Anti-Abuse & Security	Detects abusive automated bot streams, rate limits rapid requests, and prevents repetitive harassment.	24 hours - 7 days

3. Third-Party Analytics & WebRTC Stun/Turn

When establishing peer-to-peer stranger calls on tiny chat, your browser communicates with STUN (Session Traversal Utilities for NAT) and TURN servers to determine optimal network routing paths. These servers facilitate peer connectivity but do not store behavioral advertising cookies or cross-site tracking profiles.

4. How to Manage and Disable Cookies

You possess complete autonomy over your browser's cookie settings. You can adjust your browser preferences to reject all cookies, purge stored site data upon exit, or alert you whenever a cookie is set:

Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Third-party cookies > Block all or manage site data.
Apple Safari: Settings > Safari > Advanced > Privacy > Block All Cookies.
Mozilla Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data > Clear Data.
Microsoft Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Manage and delete cookies and site data.

Note: If you disable strictly necessary session cookies, you may experience connection loops or hardware permission desynchronization while using tiny chat stranger video roulette.

5. Do Not Track (DNT) & Global Privacy Control (GPC)

tiny chat honors standard browser privacy signals including Global Privacy Control (GPC) and Do Not Track (DNT) headers. When your browser transmits these signals, non-essential operational scripts are automatically restricted.

6. Inquiries Regarding Cookies

If you have questions concerning our use of cookies or local browser storage, please reach our technical compliance desk at [email protected].
