Cookie Policy
Last Updated: December 29, 2025
This Cookie Policy explains how bmerrells.net uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to improve your browsing experience, understand site usage, and support our affiliate partnerships with dating platforms. We believe in transparency about data collection and give you control over your cookie preferences.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit them. These files store information about your preferences, browsing behavior, and site interactions. Cookies help websites remember you between visits, making your experience more convenient and personalized.
There are two main types of cookies: first-party cookies set directly by bmerrells.net to manage site functionality and preferences, and third-party cookies placed by external services like Google Analytics or affiliate platforms to track performance and user behavior across multiple sites.
Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can modify your browser settings to decline cookies if you prefer. However, disabling cookies may limit certain features and functionality on our site.
Types of Cookies We Use
We use three categories of cookies on bmerrells.net, each serving a specific purpose to enhance your experience or help us improve our site:
Third-Party Cookies
We work with trusted third-party services that may set their own cookies when you visit bmerrells.net. These partners help us analyze traffic, improve our content, and track affiliate referrals:
Google Analytics & Tag Manager
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our site, which pages are most popular, and where our traffic comes from. Google Tag Manager helps us manage tracking codes efficiently. Google may use this data in accordance with their privacy policy.
Dating Platform Affiliate Partners
When you click links to dating platforms (SakuraDate, NaomiDate, MagnoliaDate, AsiaFlame, ShantiDate), these sites may place their own cookies to track referrals and conversions. Each platform has its own privacy policy governing cookie use.
We earn affiliate commissions when you sign up through our links, but this does not affect your experience or cost on those platforms.
Social Media Platforms
If we integrate social sharing buttons or embedded content from platforms like Facebook, Twitter, or YouTube, those services may set cookies to track your interactions and show you relevant ads on their platforms.
We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of any social platforms you use.
