How We Use Cookies

Cookies serve several important purposes on our website. Here's how we use them to improve your experience:

Remember your preferences: We store your theme preference (light or dark mode) so you don't have to set it each time you visit.
Track affiliate referrals: Our affiliate links include UTM parameters (utm_netw=northside-electric.us) that help track referrals to partner platforms like SakuraDate, NaomiDate, MagnoliaDate, AsiaFlame, and ShantiDate.
Analyze website performance: We use analytics cookies to understand which pages are most helpful and how visitors navigate our site.

Third-Party Cookies

In addition to our own cookies, we may also use various third-party cookies to report usage statistics, deliver advertisements, and provide other services. These cookies are set by external services and platforms:

Analytics Platforms

We may use services like Google Analytics to collect anonymized data about website usage. These services use their own cookies to track information such as how long you spend on our site and the pages you visit.

Partner Dating Platforms

When you click links to our partner platforms (SakuraDate, NaomiDate, MagnoliaDate, AsiaFlame, and ShantiDate), those websites may set their own cookies to track your visit and any subsequent registration or purchase. These cookies are governed by each platform's own cookie policy.

Social Media

If we embed social media content or sharing buttons, those platforms may set cookies to enable sharing functionality and track engagement.

Note: We do not control third-party cookies. Please refer to each third party's privacy and cookie policies for more information about how they use your data.

Managing & Disabling Cookies

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. Here's how you can manage your cookie preferences:

Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically find these options in your browser's "Privacy" or "Security" settings. You can choose to block all cookies, accept all cookies, or be notified when a cookie is set.

Delete Existing Cookies

You can delete cookies that have already been stored on your device. The process varies by browser, but generally involves clearing your browsing data or history. This will remove saved preferences and may require you to log in again to certain sites.

Opt-Out Tools

For analytics cookies, you can use opt-out tools provided by analytics providers. For example, Google offers a browser add-on that prevents Google Analytics from collecting data about your visits.

Private Browsing Mode

Using your browser's private or incognito mode will prevent cookies from being stored after your browsing session ends. However, cookies may still be set during the session itself.

Important: Disabling cookies may affect the functionality of this website. Some features may not work properly if cookies are blocked, and you may need to adjust your preferences each time you visit.
