1. General
KinkyBot uses cookies, server-side sessions, and browser storage. Technically necessary features are used to provide login, security, age access, guest chats, and the service explicitly requested. Optional technologies are activated only after consent.
2. Technically Necessary Technologies
| Technology | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| connect.sid | Session identifier for login, security and guest features; session content is stored server-side | Configured login cookie lifetime up to 30 days, renewed with activity; logout ends the session. Guest and authentication flows may use shorter sessions. |
| Age and guest state | Server-side session state for guests; account age-confirmation record for signed-in users. Not a separate age-verification cookie. | Guest session lifetime; account records follow the account retention policy |
| kinkybot_consent | Necessary consent-preference cookie with version and timestamp; also copied to local storage under the same name | Cookie: 180 days from saving preferences. Local storage: until reset, replaced or cleared in the browser. |
3. Optional Categories
Functional: optional convenience storage, such as display preferences, is controlled through the functional-consent setting where integrated with the consent manager. Account data stored on the server is not automatically an optional cookie.
Analytics: no third-party browser analytics loader is currently installed in the consent integration. Future optional trackers require disclosure and consent before loading. Internal staff statistics derived from account and usage records are separate server-side processing described in the Privacy Policy.
Marketing: No advertising or marketing provider is currently identified as an active feature. This category remains disabled without consent and may only be used once this information has been added.
4. Managing Consent
Consent given may be changed or withdrawn at any time with effect for the future. The lawfulness of processing up to withdrawal remains unaffected. Necessary technologies cannot be disabled through the consent menu because otherwise the requested core feature could not be provided.
5. Browser Settings
Cookies and locally stored data can also be deleted or blocked in your browser. This may prevent login, age access, guest chats, or settings from working.
