Cookie Policy

As we want you to benefit from our services fully, we utilize so-called “Cookies” which allow us to follow your activity on the Website, trace your preferences and provide you with personalized content (e.g., advertising which you see displayed in Google search results). The idea behind cookies is pretty simple: whenever you visit the Site information about the session is being saved on your computer and next time when you enter the Website again your browser transmits the data about your visit to the Site. Hence, we got an opportunity to monitor who visits our Website, to find out the patterns of top5hookupssites.com exploitation, and to detect the main preferences of the visitors. If you do not want your browser to store cookies you may change the standard settings. As the result, we would not get access to your activity but you should be informed that some functions of the Website might fail to work properly when cookies are not being applied. If you do not alter the basic settings we assume that you understand that we use cookies and that you agree on that.

• Responding to your inquiries, requests, suggestions or complaints

• Sending service-related messages (e.g., a change in our terms and conditions)

C) We Allow You to Share User-Generated Content.

Any information you disclose in your content becomes public — along with your chosen screen name.

D) We Develop Products and Services, and Do Analysis.

We analyze data on our users’  usage behaviors. This helps us make business and marketing decisions.

For example, our analysis lets us predict preferences for our products and services. It helps us determine whether our marketing is successful. It also shows us characteristics about our users, which we sometimes share in aggregate with advertisers.

Google Analytics is one of the analytics providers we use. You can find out how Google Analytics uses data and how to opt out of Google Analytics.

The above activities can involve outside companies, agents or contractors (“service providers”) with whom we share your personal information for these purposes (discussed further below).

F)  We Allow for Personalized Advertising on the Site and Create Audiences for Third-Party Advertisers.

We gather data and work with third parties to show you personalized ads on behalf of advertisers. This data comes from ad tracking technologies set by us or the third party (e.g., cookies), the information you provide (e.g., your email address), your use of the Site (e.g., your reading history), information from advertisers or advertising vendors (e.g., demographic data) and anything inferred from any of this information. We only use or share this information in a manner that does not reveal your identity. For example, we use Google to serve ads on the Site. Google uses cookies or unique device identifiers, in combination with their own data, to show you ads based on you visiting top5hookupssites.com. You can opt out of the use of the Google cookie by visiting the related Google privacy policy.

We also identify groups of users to whom to serve personalized ads on behalf of our advertisers. To do this, we combine information we collect through surveys or registration with information we collect automatically using tracking technologies while you browse our sites and apps. This combined information is used to build models. These data models are then used to measure users’ attributes, like their demographic information or their interests. Working with service providers, we use these measurements to group users by common attributes. Each group is associated with a random ID which is then passed to our ad server for use in targeting ad campaigns on our sites and apps.
