Privacy & cookies
1. Who we are
MeetGirls.now (https://meetgirls.now) is run by Freedom Gateway LLC ("we"). It is a guide to dating platforms. You cannot create an account here, and we have no forms: we do not ask for your name, email or anything else. Contact: [email protected].
2. What we collect
- Server logs: your IP address, the time, the page requested, the referring page, your browser's user agent and language, and an approximate location (country, region, city) and network looked up from your IP.
- Our own analytics (only after you click Accept if you visit from the EU/EEA, the UK or Switzerland; on by default elsewhere): a random visitor ID stored in a cookie and local storage, a device fingerprint calculated from your browser and device characteristics, device and connection details, the pages you view, how you arrived, clicks, scrolling and time on page, errors, and session recordings of page layout, mouse movement and clicks. These records also store your IP address and its approximate location. We run this analytics ourselves; it is not shared with ad networks.
- Traffic source: a short code for how you arrived (for example "google" or a campaign tag), kept in the
dg_srccookie for 30 days if analytics is allowed, otherwise only while the page is open.
3. Links to dating platforms
When you click a link to a platform, that link may carry a short code made of where on our site you clicked, your traffic source code and, only if you allowed analytics, the first 12 characters of your analytics visitor ID. The platform or its affiliate network reports sign-ups and purchases back to us with that code so we can be paid and see which pages help readers. They do not send us your name, email, username or payment details. Once you are on a platform's site, its own privacy policy applies, and it or its affiliate network may set its own cookies.
3a. Advertising
Some pages may show ads labelled "Sponsored". They are loaded from the advertiser's or ad network's servers, which then see your IP address and browser details and may set their own cookies under their own privacy policies. In the EU/EEA, the UK and Switzerland, and wherever your region is unknown, no ad loads until you click Accept; rejecting stops them. Elsewhere ads load by default unless you reject. Clicks on ads are recorded by our own analytics like any other click.
4. Cookies
age_ok: remembers you confirmed you are 18+ (30 days).dg_consent: your Accept/Reject choice (1 year).dg_geo: notes that your time zone is outside the EU so the banner isn't needed (30 days).dg_src,sa_vidand analytics session storage: see section 2; analytics only.
Change your choice any time with "Cookie settings" at the bottom of every page. Rejecting deletes the analytics cookies we set.
5. Why (legal bases)
Server logs: our legitimate interest in running a secure site. Analytics and traffic-source codes: your consent in the EU/EEA, the UK and Switzerland; our legitimate interest elsewhere. Affiliate reports: our legitimate interest and our accounting obligations.
6. Sharing and retention
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with service providers that host our servers, acting on our instructions, and when the law requires it. Our servers are in the United States, so if you visit from elsewhere your information is processed there. Server logs are kept for up to 3 years for security and fraud investigation; our own analytics records as long as we need them for the purposes above; affiliate reports as financial records.
7. Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR or California law) you can ask for access to, a copy of, correction or deletion of data about you, or object to its use. Email [email protected]. Because we have no accounts, include your analytics visitor ID (the sa_vid value in your browser) so we can find it. You may also complain to your data-protection authority.
8. Adults only
This site is for adults 18 or older. We do not knowingly collect information about anyone younger.
