ALMEET COOKIE POLICY

Transparency, Choice, and Control Over Your Online Experience

Website: https://almeet.com
Platform: Almeet Global Digital Community

Introduction

At Almeet, we believe that people should understand how technologies work when they visit a website or use a digital service.

Cookies and similar technologies help websites remember preferences, maintain secure sessions, improve performance, understand usage patterns, and support certain advertising and personalization features.

Almeet is designed as a global digital ecosystem that may include social networking, private messaging, stories, videos, blogs, creator subscriptions, advertising, marketplaces, freelance services, AI-powered tools, digital wallets, and supported blockchain integrations.

Some of these services may require cookies or similar technologies to function correctly. Others may use optional technologies to improve the experience or measure performance.

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, why Almeet may use them, how similar technologies work, and what choices may be available to you.

Our goal is to provide meaningful transparency and practical control rather than treat cookies as an invisible part of browsing.

This Policy supplements the Almeet Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. It should be read together with those documents.

The technologies actually used on Almeet may vary by website, application, feature, browser, region, and service configuration. This Policy describes potential categories of use; it does not mean that every technology mentioned is currently deployed.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website may store in your browser or device.

They can contain information such as a session identifier, a preference, or a value used to recognize a browser during later requests.

For example, a cookie may help a website remember that you have signed in, selected a language, or adjusted a particular preference.

Cookies may be temporary or persistent.

Session cookies are generally designed to expire when the browser session ends or when the relevant session expires.

Persistent cookies remain on a device until their configured expiration date or until they are deleted earlier.

The duration and behavior of a cookie depend on its purpose, configuration, and the technology that creates it.

Cookies do not all perform the same function. Some are necessary for a requested service, while others may be used for analytics, personalization, or advertising.

What Are Similar Technologies?

Almeet may also use technologies that perform functions similar to cookies, where appropriate and permitted by law.

These may include:

• Local storage and session storage.

• Pixels and tracking tags.

• Software development kits (SDKs).

• Application identifiers.

• Web beacons.

• Server-side measurement technologies.

• Device or browser signals used for security and fraud prevention.

Some technologies store information directly on a device. Others transmit information to a server when you visit a page, open an application, or interact with a feature.

Mobile applications may use SDKs or similar mechanisms instead of traditional browser cookies.

For simplicity, this Policy may refer to cookies and similar technologies collectively as “Cookies and Technologies.”

The exact technologies used depend on the relevant service and its implementation.

Why Almeet Uses Cookies and Similar Technologies

Almeet may use these technologies for several purposes.

    - Essential functionality

Certain technologies may be necessary to provide services you request, such as signing in, maintaining a secure session, navigating the Platform, or completing a transaction.

    - Security and fraud prevention

Technologies may help identify suspicious sessions, prevent automated abuse, detect unusual activity, maintain account integrity, and protect transactions.

    - Preferences and personalization

Where permitted, technologies may remember language choices, display preferences, accessibility settings, and other configuration options.

    - Performance and reliability

Technologies may help us understand application errors, measure loading performance, identify technical problems, and improve service stability.

   - Analytics and product improvement

Where permitted and subject to applicable consent requirements, technologies may help us understand how users interact with features and which parts of the Platform require improvement.

  - Advertising and campaign measurement

Where available and permitted, technologies may help measure advertising performance, detect invalid traffic, limit repetitive advertisements, or support relevant promotional features.

  - Feature-specific functionality

Some services may need additional technologies to support media playback, embedded content, payment flows, AI interfaces, or authorized third-party integrations.

We aim to use technologies that are appropriate to the relevant purpose and to provide additional information where a feature introduces materially different tracking practices.

Categories of Cookies

For transparency, Almeet may classify cookies and similar technologies into the following categories.

  - Strictly Necessary Cookies

These technologies support essential website or application functions.

Examples may include:

• Authentication and session management.

• Security and access-control checks.

• Load balancing and service routing.

• Fraud prevention and abuse protection.

• Maintaining essential shopping or transaction state.

• Recording privacy choices where necessary to honor them.

Without some of these technologies, a requested service may not function correctly.

Where applicable law permits essential technologies without consent, Almeet may use them on that basis. We will not treat every technology as essential merely because it is useful to the business.

  - Functional Cookies

Functional technologies may remember choices that improve your experience.

Examples may include:

• Preferred language.

• Interface preferences.

• Accessibility settings.

• Selected display options.

• Certain feature-specific settings.

Where required by law, these technologies will be used only after the appropriate consent has been obtained.

You may be able to disable them, although doing so could mean that some preferences must be selected again during later visits.

  - Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics technologies may help Almeet understand how the Platform is used and how reliably it performs.

Depending on the implementation, they may measure:

• Page visits and feature interactions.

• Loading speed and performance errors.

• Application crashes or technical failures.

• General navigation patterns.

• Aggregate usage trends.

Analytics may involve first-party technologies or authorized external providers.

Where required by law, non-essential analytics technologies will not be activated before the required consent is obtained.

Almeet aims to use aggregated or appropriately de-identified information where suitable, but analytics data should not automatically be assumed to be anonymous.

  - Advertising and Marketing Cookies

Where advertising technologies are offered, they may help measure campaigns, understand advertisement interactions, prevent invalid traffic, or support personalization.

Depending on the implementation, advertising technologies may process browser identifiers, campaign identifiers, interaction events, or other relevant information.

Some advertising technologies may involve third-party providers.

Where applicable law requires consent for advertising cookies or similar technologies, Almeet will seek that consent before activating them.

You may be able to change your advertising preferences through the privacy controls provided by Almeet.

  - Third-Party and Embedded Content Technologies

Certain features may rely on external services, such as media players, maps, payment interfaces, or authorized integrations.

When an external service is loaded, it may process information under its own privacy and cookie practices.

Depending on the implementation, the provider may receive technical information such as your IP address, browser information, or interaction data.

Almeet aims to explain relevant third-party integrations and provide choices where required by law.

An external service's presence does not automatically mean that all its technologies are activated on every Almeet page.

First-Party and Third-Party Cookies

  - First-party cookies

First-party cookies are generally set by the website you are visiting or by a service operating on its behalf.

Almeet may use first-party cookies to support authentication, security, preferences, and other permitted functions.

  - Third-party cookies

Third-party cookies are generally set by a different domain or service, such as an authorized analytics, advertising, or embedded-content provider.

Depending on the integration, third parties may receive information about interactions with their technologies.

Third-party practices are governed by the relevant provider's terms and privacy notices, as well as applicable law and any agreements governing the integration.

Almeet does not automatically control every independent third party's technology or data-handling practices.

We aim to assess third-party integrations appropriately and limit their access to what is reasonably necessary for the relevant service.

Cookies, Account Login, and Session Security

When you sign in to Almeet, certain cookies or similar technologies may be needed to maintain your session and recognize authorized requests.

These technologies may help prevent unauthorized access, protect account settings, and reduce certain forms of cross-site or automated abuse.

Session information should be protected through appropriate technical controls, including secure cookie attributes where supported and suitable to the application.

Where appropriate, security-related cookies may be necessary even when optional personalization or advertising technologies are disabled.

You should sign out when using a shared or public device and avoid saving credentials on devices you do not control.

Deleting session cookies may sign you out or require you to authenticate again.

Cookies are only one part of account security. They do not eliminate risks arising from compromised devices, stolen credentials, or other attacks.

Cookies and Social Features

Almeet may use cookies or similar technologies to support social feeds, profiles, groups, comments, media playback, messaging interfaces, and other social features.

Depending on the implementation, these technologies may help remember interface preferences, maintain sessions, deliver requested functionality, or measure technical performance.

The use of a cookie does not automatically determine whether a post, profile, or message is public or private. Content visibility is governed by the relevant product settings and service architecture.

Public content may remain accessible to others independently of cookies.

Similarly, deleting browser cookies does not automatically delete your Almeet account, posts, messages, or other server-side records.

For details about personal information processed through social features, please review the Almeet Privacy Policy.

Cookies and AI-Powered Services

Almeet may provide AI tools for writing, research, programming, content generation, website development, application development, and other supported tasks.

Cookies and similar technologies may help maintain an AI session, remember interface settings, protect against abuse, or support technical performance.

Cookies are distinct from the content of an AI conversation. Disabling an analytics cookie does not necessarily delete a saved conversation or prevent information from being processed to fulfill a request you make.

Depending on the AI service, prompts, uploaded files, generated outputs, and conversation history may be handled under separate data-processing arrangements.

External AI providers may use their own technologies when you access their services through an integration.

The applicable AI and Privacy Policies explain how relevant information may be processed, stored, or shared.

Almeet will not assume that all AI processing is controlled by cookies or that cookie preferences alone govern every form of AI-related data processing.

Cookies and Advertising

Advertising may help support the operation of free or lower-cost services.

Where supported, Almeet may use technologies to measure advertisement delivery, count impressions, detect invalid traffic, or evaluate campaign performance.

Some advertising features may use contextual information, such as the page being viewed, while others may rely on permitted personalization signals.

The specific information used depends on the advertising product and your applicable privacy choices.

Where consent is required for advertising cookies or similar technologies, they will be activated only after the required consent is obtained.

Where applicable law provides rights to opt out of targeted advertising or certain forms of data sharing, Almeet will provide the relevant mechanism.

Disabling advertising cookies does not necessarily remove advertisements from the Platform. It may instead affect personalization or measurement, depending on the implementation.

Advertisers may receive aggregate campaign reports or other information described in the applicable advertising documentation.

For more information about the use of personal information in advertising, please review the Almeet Privacy Policy.

Cookies and Analytics

Almeet may use analytics technologies to understand general usage patterns, identify performance problems, and improve the Platform.

Analytics may help us understand whether a feature is working as intended, whether pages load reliably, and where users encounter technical difficulties.

Depending on the implementation, analytics providers may process information such as page events, device characteristics, timestamps, approximate location, or technical identifiers.

We aim to select analytics practices appropriate to the relevant purpose and avoid unnecessary tracking.

Where applicable law requires consent, non-essential analytics technologies will remain disabled until the required consent is obtained.

Analytics results do not automatically establish a user's identity or intentions, and aggregate reports should not be treated as perfect representations of user behavior.

If Almeet changes its analytics providers or introduces a materially different tracking practice, we will update relevant disclosures and provide choices where required.

Cookie Consent and Your Choices

Almeet aims to provide a clear way to manage non-essential cookies and similar technologies where required by law.

Depending on your location and the applicable service, a consent interface may allow you to:

• Accept all optional cookie categories.

• Reject non-essential cookies.

• Select individual categories.

• Review additional information about particular technologies.

• Withdraw or change previously provided consent.

Strictly necessary technologies may continue to operate where they are required to provide a service and applicable law permits their use without consent.

We aim to make accepting and rejecting non-essential technologies equally understandable and accessible where required.

Your choice should be recorded only to the extent reasonably necessary to respect and demonstrate the applicable preference.

Where consent is the legal basis for a technology, withdrawing consent should stop the relevant future processing, subject to technical limitations and applicable law.

Withdrawal does not automatically undo processing that was lawful before consent was withdrawn.

The exact consent controls will depend on the implementation and applicable legal requirements.

How to Change Your Cookie Preferences

Where Almeet provides a cookie preference center, you may be able to reopen it through a link such as “Cookie Settings” or “Privacy Preferences” on the website.

From that interface, you may be able to change your selections or withdraw consent for optional categories.

If no preference center is available for a particular service, your browser or device may provide additional controls.

Please note that browser-level controls do not always provide the same level of choice as a properly implemented consent system.

Clearing cookies may remove your saved preferences, meaning you may be asked to select them again on a future visit.

If you use multiple browsers or devices, your preferences may need to be managed separately unless the service supports synchronized privacy settings.

Almeet should provide an accessible mechanism for managing consent wherever required by applicable law.

Browser and Device Controls

Most modern browsers allow users to view, block, or delete cookies.

Depending on the browser, you may be able to block all cookies, allow selected websites, delete cookies when closing the browser, or remove existing stored information.

Mobile operating systems may also provide controls for certain application identifiers or tracking permissions.

The exact steps depend on your browser and device.

Blocking all cookies may affect login, security checks, saved preferences, shopping functions, and other services.

Browser settings may not control all server-side processing or every form of application-based tracking.

Deleting a cookie does not necessarily remove information already stored on Almeet's servers or independently held by a third party.

For requests concerning personal information stored in Almeet systems, please refer to the Privacy Policy.

Do Not Track and Similar Signals

Some browsers offer privacy signals or settings intended to communicate tracking preferences.

The technical meaning and legal requirements associated with these signals vary.

Where applicable law requires Almeet to recognize a particular privacy signal, we will implement the required process for the relevant service.

We will explain any supported signal and its effect where necessary.

A generic browser setting should not be assumed to control every form of tracking or data processing unless the relevant service explicitly supports it.

International Privacy Requirements

Almeet aims to serve users in multiple countries. Cookie requirements may differ depending on where a user is located and which service is being used.

  - European Economic Area and United Kingdom

Where applicable, European and UK rules may require prior consent for storing or accessing certain information on a user's device, except where a relevant legal exception applies.

Consent must meet the applicable legal standard. Simply continuing to browse a website does not automatically establish valid consent where affirmative consent is required.

Users may also have rights under applicable data protection law concerning personal information processed through cookies and similar technologies.

  - United States

Certain United States state privacy laws provide rights concerning targeted advertising, the sale or sharing of personal information, and related processing.

Where a particular cookie or tracking practice falls within a legal definition that triggers an opt-out right, Almeet will provide the mechanism required by applicable law.

The availability and scope of these rights depend on the relevant jurisdiction and circumstances.

  - Bangladesh and other countries

Other countries may impose requirements concerning consent, electronic communications, personal information, and tracking technologies.

Almeet aims to identify and comply with the requirements applicable to its services and operations.

Nothing in this Policy is intended to remove mandatory privacy rights granted by local law.

Data Retention and Cookies

Cookies have different lifetimes depending on their purpose and configuration.

Some expire when a session ends, while others may remain on a device until a specified date or until they are deleted.

Where Almeet controls a cookie, we aim to configure its lifetime according to the relevant purpose and avoid retaining information longer than reasonably necessary.

The retention of information collected through cookies may differ from the lifetime of the cookie itself.

For example, a cookie may expire while related server-side logs remain temporarily available for security, analytics, or legal purposes.

Where third-party providers process information, their retention practices may also apply, subject to relevant agreements and law.

The specific retention periods should be documented in Almeet's internal data inventory and relevant privacy disclosures.

Security and Cookies

Cookies and similar technologies can support security, but they can also create risks if implemented incorrectly.

Almeet aims to use appropriate safeguards for cookies and session identifiers, including secure transmission, suitable access restrictions, and relevant browser security attributes where supported.

Sensitive session information should not be unnecessarily exposed through URLs, public content, or untrusted third-party integrations.

Users should avoid installing untrusted browser extensions or accessing Almeet through suspicious links.

No cookie configuration can eliminate every cybersecurity risk.

Almeet aims to review relevant technologies, limit unnecessary access, and improve safeguards as its systems evolve.

Children's Privacy

Almeet's services are subject to applicable age and eligibility requirements.

Certain cookies and tracking technologies may require additional safeguards when used in services directed to children or when processing information relating to children under applicable law.

Where required, Almeet will implement appropriate consent, age-assurance, advertising, and data-processing controls.

We do not intend to use tracking technologies in ways that violate applicable child-protection or privacy laws.

Parents, guardians, or users who have concerns about a child's information may contact Almeet through its verified privacy channel.

The actual requirements and available services may differ by jurisdiction.

Changes to This Cookie Policy

Almeet may update this Policy when its technologies, services, advertising practices, or legal obligations change.

The updated Policy will display a revised effective date or version identifier.

Where a change materially affects users or requires renewed consent, we will provide appropriate notice and implement the required consent process.

An update to this Policy does not automatically authorize tracking that requires separate consent.

We encourage users to review this Policy periodically and to revisit their cookie preferences when available.
