Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites work correctly, remember your preferences, and provide information to site owners about how their site is being used.

Similar technologies — such as local storage and session storage — work in a comparable way and are covered by this Policy. For simplicity, we refer to all of these collectively as "cookies" throughout this document.

2. Why We Use Cookies

MixinMEup uses cookies to:

• Keep you logged in as you navigate between pages
• Protect your account and prevent cross-site request forgery attacks
• Remember your display preferences (such as your chosen visual theme)
• Remember your browsing location so we can show you relevant local content
• Understand, at an aggregate level, how visitors use the Platform so we can identify improvements

We do not use cookies to track your activity across unrelated third-party websites, build advertising profiles, or sell data to advertisers.

3. Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for the Platform to function. The site cannot operate correctly without them, and they cannot be disabled.

Preference Cookies

These cookies remember choices you make to personalise your experience. Disabling them means your preferences will not be remembered between visits.

Analytics Cookies

We currently collect only basic, aggregate usage data using our own server-side logging — no third-party analytics scripts or tracking cookies are placed on your device at this time. If this changes in the future, we will update this Policy and, where required, seek your consent before placing any analytics cookies.

4. Third-Party Cookies

Some features of the Platform involve third-party services that may set their own cookies:

• Social login providers (Google, Apple, Facebook, Spotify, Discord) — when you choose to log in via one of these services, their login flow may set cookies on their own domains. These are governed by each provider's own privacy and cookie policies, not ours.
• Embedded content — if you or other users embed content from third-party services (such as video or music players), those services may set their own cookies when that content is loaded. We have no control over these cookies.

We recommend reviewing the cookie and privacy policies of any third-party services you interact with through the Platform.

5. Managing Cookies

You can control and manage cookies in several ways:

Browser Settings

All modern browsers allow you to view, block, and delete cookies through their settings. Refer to your browser's help documentation for instructions:

• Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
• Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
• Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
• Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions

Consequences of Disabling Cookies

Blocking or deleting essential cookies will prevent you from logging in and using core features of the Platform. Blocking preference cookies means your theme and location choices will not be saved between sessions, but you can still use the Platform. Since we do not currently use third-party analytics cookies, disabling analytics cookies has no effect on your Platform experience.

6. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, for example when we introduce new features that use cookies or when legal requirements change. We will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page when we do so.
