Cookie Policy
Version 1.0 · Effective 30 July 2026 · Last updated 30 July 2026
The Meet Your Samui Match app does not use advertising cookies, analytics cookies from third parties, or cross-site tracking of any kind. It does store a small amount of information in your browser so the app can work. This page lists all of it.

Analytics is off unless you switch it on. If you withdraw consent, this identifier is deleted from your browser and no further events are recorded.
Third parties
No third-party scripts, social widgets, embedded videos, embedded maps or font services load automatically in this app. Fonts are served from our own app. External services such as WhatsApp, Instagram, e-mail, Google Maps, PayPal or GoFundMe are only contacted when you deliberately tap a link, and they then apply their own cookie and privacy policies.
Changing your choice
Use at any time. To remove everything above, clear this site's data in your browser settings. Blocking necessary storage may stop favourites and the animal deck from working.
