This Cookie Policy explains how Omegle, operated by RC TECH AMERICA INC, together with its affiliates, subsidiaries, successors, and assigns, as applicable, uses cookies and similar technologies in connection with Omegle, https://www.omegle.com, and any related websites, livestreaming services, interactive features, creator tools, payment features, virtual item systems, safety systems, and other online services that link to this Cookie Policy.

This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, Terms of Use, Community Guidelines, and any supplemental notices that we provide. Capitalized terms that are not defined in this Cookie Policy have the meanings given to them in our Terms of Use or Privacy Policy.

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your browser, device, or hard drive when you visit a website or use an online service. Cookies allow a website or service to recognize your browser or device, remember information about your visit, support core functionality, improve performance, maintain security, and provide a more personalized experience.

For purposes of this Cookie Policy, the term “Cookies and Similar Technologies” includes HTTP cookies, local storage, session storage, pixels, web beacons, tags, scripts, software development kits, device identifiers, advertising identifiers, server logs, browser storage technologies, and other similar technologies that store or access information on your browser or device or collect information about your interaction with the Service.

Some Cookies and Similar Technologies are placed directly by us and are commonly referred to as first-party cookies. Others may be placed by third-party service providers, analytics providers, advertising partners, payment providers, age-verification providers, identity-verification providers, fraud-prevention vendors, content delivery networks, customer support providers, or other business partners and are commonly referred to as third-party cookies or third-party technologies.

We use Cookies and Similar Technologies to operate, secure, provide, measure, personalize, improve, and support the Service. In particular, we may use these technologies to authenticate users, maintain login sessions, remember preferences, enforce adult-only access controls, support age-gated areas, protect accounts, prevent fraud, process payments, measure livestream and website performance, support content delivery, analyze usage, improve product design, conduct advertising attribution, and comply with legal obligations.

Because the Service may include livestreaming, chat, user-generated content, virtual gifts, paid features, subscriptions, Creator monetization, payout functions, adult-oriented access controls, and safety moderation tools, some Cookies and Similar Technologies are necessary to protect users, Creators, payment systems, platform integrity, and legal compliance.

Strictly necessary Cookies and Similar Technologies are essential for the Service to function. These technologies enable core features such as account login, authentication, session management, website navigation, security, fraud prevention, load balancing, payment security, consent preference management, age-gated access, adult-only access controls, geographic or jurisdictional compliance controls, and prevention of platform abuse.

These technologies may also help us detect suspicious logins, account takeovers, bot activity, scraping, security attacks, sanctions evasion, payment fraud, chargeback abuse, verification evasion, or attempts to bypass content moderation, age assurance, geographic restrictions, or other platform integrity measures.

Strictly necessary Cookies and Similar Technologies generally cannot be disabled through our cookie consent tools because the Service may not operate properly without them. You may be able to block or delete them through your browser settings, but doing so may prevent you from logging in, accessing certain features, making purchases, viewing livestreams, receiving payouts, managing account settings, or using other parts of the Service.

Functional Cookies and Similar Technologies allow us to remember choices you make and provide enhanced or customized features. These may include remembering your language, region, display settings, audio or video preferences, notification preferences, content preferences, mature-content settings, consent choices, account settings, accessibility settings, or other customization choices.

These technologies help us provide a more consistent and user-friendly experience, including when you return to the Service or move between different pages or features.

Analytics and performance Cookies and Similar Technologies help us understand how users access and use the Service. We may use these technologies to measure traffic, count visits, identify popular pages or features, understand referral sources, assess livestream performance, detect errors, analyze crashes, test new features, evaluate conversion funnels, measure feature adoption, improve website design, improve content delivery, and maintain the stability and performance of the Service.

These technologies may collect information such as pages viewed, features used, streams watched, buttons clicked, session duration, referral URLs, approximate location inferred from IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, error logs, crash logs, and other usage or technical information.

We may use Cookies and Similar Technologies to protect the Service, users, Creators, payment systems, and our business from abuse, fraud, and illegal activity. These technologies may help us detect and prevent fake accounts, spam, bots, scraping, account takeovers, suspicious logins, payment fraud, refund abuse, chargeback abuse, Creator payout manipulation, sanctions evasion, age-verification evasion, moderation evasion, repeated policy violations, high-risk user behavior, or other activity that may threaten platform integrity. These technologies may also help maintain age-verification status, detect attempts to bypass age-assurance controls, route users to K-ID or another approved provider, and prevent previously blocked or underage users from re-accessing restricted features.

These technologies may also support device association, risk scoring, account security checks, verification workflows, abuse investigations, enforcement records, legal compliance, and cooperation with payment partners, regulators, law enforcement, or safety organizations where appropriate.

We do not use cookies or similar technologies to sell or share age-assurance biometric-related information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

Advertising, measurement, and marketing Cookies and Similar Technologies may be used to measure the effectiveness of marketing campaigns, understand how users arrive at the Service, support attribution, limit repeated advertising, evaluate campaign performance, measure engagement with promotional content, and, where permitted by law and subject to your choices, personalize advertising or promotional content.

These technologies may collect or use information such as cookie identifiers, device identifiers, advertising identifiers, IP address, approximate location, referral source, pages visited, interactions with ads, campaign identifiers, and engagement data.

We do not knowingly use advertising Cookies and Similar Technologies to target minors because the Service is not available to minors. Where required by applicable law, we will request your consent before using non-essential advertising, marketing, or targeted advertising technologies.

The Service may include links, buttons, widgets, embedded content, payment interfaces, support tools, analytics tools, advertising pixels, social media integrations, or other third-party components. These third parties may use their own Cookies and Similar Technologies to provide their services, measure usage, personalize content, or conduct analytics or advertising.

We do not control third-party cookies or similar technologies once they are placed or operated by third parties. Your interaction with third-party services may be governed by those third parties’ own terms, privacy policies, and cookie policies.

Depending on your use of the Service, Cookies and Similar Technologies may collect or process information such as:

• IP address, cookie identifiers, device identifiers, and advertising identifiers.
• Browser type, operating system, device model, language settings, and time zone.
• Approximate location inferred from IP address, pages viewed, streams watched, and features used.
• Referral URLs, search queries, clickstream data, session duration, error logs, and crash logs.
• Authentication logs, transaction signals, fraud signals, consent preferences, and other technical or usage information.

Where you are logged into your account, we may associate information collected through Cookies and Similar Technologies with your account, profile, verification status, payment activity, Creator activity, safety records, support interactions, or other information we process in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

Where applicable law requires a legal basis for the use of Cookies and Similar Technologies, we may rely on one or more legal bases depending on the type of technology and the purpose of processing.

For strictly necessary technologies, we may rely on the necessity of providing the Service, performing our contract with you, complying with legal obligations, protecting users, preventing fraud, maintaining security, and pursuing legitimate interests in platform integrity and service operation.

For certain analytics, advertising, marketing, personalization, or similar non-essential technologies, we may rely on your consent where required by applicable law. You may withdraw or modify your consent at any time through the tools described in this Cookie Policy.

For users in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, and other jurisdictions with cookie consent requirements, we will provide consent options where legally required before placing or accessing non-essential Cookies and Similar Technologies.

Cookies and Similar Technologies may remain on your browser or device for different periods of time.

• Session cookies are temporary and are generally deleted when you close your browser or end your session. They help us maintain your session, authenticate your account, secure your activity, and allow you to navigate the Service.
• Persistent cookies remain on your browser or device for a set period of time or until you delete them. They may help us remember your preferences, maintain security, recognize returning users, measure performance, support analytics, manage consent preferences, or conduct advertising attribution.

Retention periods for Cookies and Similar Technologies vary depending on the purpose of the technology, legal requirements, vendor configuration, and your choices. Where we provide a cookie banner, consent management platform, cookie list, or SDK list, additional retention information may be made available through those tools.

Some third parties may use Cookies and Similar Technologies in connection with the Service. These may include analytics providers, advertising partners, payment processors, payout providers, identity verification providers, age verification providers, fraud-prevention vendors, customer support providers, cloud hosting providers, content delivery networks, security providers, and social media or embedded content providers.

Third-party technologies may collect information directly from your browser or device and may use that information according to the third party’s own privacy policy or cookie policy. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, cookie practices, security, or content of third-party services that we do not control.

Where required by applicable law, we will take appropriate steps to obtain consent for third-party non-essential Cookies and Similar Technologies used on the Service or to provide opt-out mechanisms for applicable advertising, sale, sharing, targeted advertising, or similar processing.

You may manage Cookies and Similar Technologies in several ways, depending on your location, browser, device, account status, and the tools available for the Service.

• You may manage your cookie preferences through our cookie banner, consent management platform, privacy settings, account settings, or other tools that we make available. You can access or update your cookie preferences at our designated Cookie Settings Link.
• You may also configure your browser to block, delete, or disable cookies. Browser controls vary by provider and device. If you use multiple browsers, devices, or accounts, you may need to apply your preferences separately to each browser, device, or account.
• Your device may also allow you to control advertising identifiers, tracking permissions, app-level permissions, notification settings, location settings, and other privacy controls. These settings may affect how certain Cookies and Similar Technologies operate.

If you block or delete Cookies and Similar Technologies, some parts of the Service may not function properly. For example, you may be unable to stay logged in, access age-gated areas, view certain content, complete purchases, receive personalized settings, maintain security protections, or use certain interactive features.

Some jurisdictions recognize opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control or similar browser-based signals. Where legally required and technically feasible, we will treat valid opt-out preference signals as requests to opt out of applicable sale, sharing, targeted advertising, or similar processing under applicable privacy laws.

Our response to such signals may depend on your location, browser settings, authentication status, technical feasibility, and the nature of the processing. Because legal requirements and technical standards may vary by jurisdiction, an opt-out preference signal may not apply to all Cookies and Similar Technologies or to all processing activities.

Some browsers may transmit “Do Not Track” signals. Because there is not yet a uniform global standard for how online services should respond to such signals, we may not respond to “Do Not Track” signals unless required by applicable law. Where applicable law requires recognition of specific opt-out mechanisms, such as Global Privacy Control or similar signals, we will handle those mechanisms as described in this Cookie Policy and our Privacy Policy.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the Service, technology, law, consent requirements, cookie practices, SDKs, advertising tools, analytics tools, security practices, age verification methods, payment features, Creator monetization programs, or business operations.

When we make material changes, we may provide notice through the Service, by email, through a cookie banner, through our consent management platform, or by other appropriate means where required by law. The “Last Updated” date indicates when this Cookie Policy was last revised.

Your continued use of the Service after an updated Cookie Policy becomes effective means that you acknowledge the updated Cookie Policy to the extent permitted by applicable law.
