Cookie policy

This page explains cookies and similar storage the VoiceChatMate site uses in your browser, why they exist, and how you can control them—including the session cookie that keeps the live interface connected.

Essential session cookie

VoiceChatMate keeps a live connection between your browser and the server. A session cookie is issued so reconnects and interactive rendering work reliably. If you block this cookie, the interactive lobby and chat rooms may fail to load or disconnect frequently.

Local storage (not a cookie)

The lobby stores a display name suggestion and ephemeral identifiers in localStorage so you do not have to retype them on every visit. You can clear site data in your browser to remove them.

Advertising (Google AdSense)

This site may load Google AdSense to display advertisements. AdSense and related Google services may set cookies or use similar technologies for ad delivery, frequency capping, and fraud prevention. You can manage ad personalization in your Google account settings and limit third-party cookies in your browser.

Analytics (Umami)

VoiceChatMate uses Umami, a privacy-oriented analytics service, to understand aggregate traffic (for example which pages are visited and general device types). Umami is configured without cross-site tracking profiles like classic Google Analytics. You can still block the script with browser extensions or tracking protections.

Your controls

  • Use private or incognito mode if you want a clean cookie jar per session.
  • Use browser settings to block third-party cookies if you want to limit AdSense-related storage.
  • Revoke microphone or camera permission in your OS or browser settings between sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does VoiceChatMate need session cookies?

The live site uses a session cookie so the interactive interface stays connected to the server. Blocking it can prevent the lobby and chat rooms from working reliably.

Do you use third-party ad or analytics cookies?

This site may load Google AdSense for advertising and Umami for privacy-oriented analytics. Those services may set their own cookies or use similar storage. See the cookie policy body for details and browser controls.

How do I control cookies?

Use your browser’s cookie and site-data settings. You can clear cookies for this origin at any time; you may need to reload the lobby afterward.
