We, along with our authorized third-party partners and service providers, may make use of Cookies on our websites, products, mobile apps, co-branded offerings, emails and other services described in our Privacy Policy available at babechat.ai (collectively, "Services") when you use our Services.

What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies serve different purposes, like helping us understand how a site is being used, letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, and generally improving your browsing experience.
Types of Cookies
Cookies are "persistent", "permanent" or "session":
- Persistent and permanent Cookies remain on your device even after you have gone offline. These Cookies will remain on your device until you manually delete them or until your browser deletes them based on the duration specified in the Cookie file itself.
- Session Cookies are deleted as soon as you close your web browser.
Cookies can also be "first-party" or "third-party":
- First-party Cookies are Cookies that are placed by us or a third party on our behalf. First-party cookies are put on your device directly by the website you are visiting.
- Third-party Cookies are placed by our partners, vendors and other third parties. These are the cookies that are placed on your device, not by the website you are visiting, but by a third party like an advertiser or an analytic system. We do not control the collection or further use of data by third parties using third-party Cookies.
Web beacons (also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs) are small graphic images that are used in connection with the provision of our Services and which typically work in conjunction with Cookies to track the use of an online service by its users. For example, when we send you emails, web beacons allow us to track if you opened the emails and clicked links to measure campaign performance and improve features.
Similar technologies are technologies which enable the entity using it to track your user behavior. This can be done by HTML5 Local Storage, pixels, tags, Flash Cookies (also known as "local shared objects" or "LSOs"), and other web application software methods, all of which store information in your browser or device. We may employ Flash Cookies in certain situations where we use Flash to provide some content such as video clips or animation.
How we use Cookies
We use "strictly necessary," "performance/statistics," "targeting/marketing," and "functional/preferences" cookies on our Services:
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are essential for you to browse our website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the site. They are necessary for the Services to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the Services will not then work. We use these strictly necessary cookies to identify you as being logged in to the Services and to authenticate you, to make sure you connect to the right service on the Services when we make any changes to the way it works and for security purposes.
Functional/preferences cookies
These cookies allow our website to remember choices you have made in the past, like what language you prefer, what region you would like weather reports for, or what your username and password are so you can automatically log in. They enable the Services to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies then some or all of these services may not function properly.
Performance/statistics cookies
These cookies enable our website to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our Services. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the Services and gather information on error messages. The information these cookies collect is aggregated. If you do not allow these cookies we will not know when you have visited our Services and will not be able to monitor its performance. We use performance/statistics cookies to perform web analytics and for error management purposes, by measuring any errors that may occur.
Targeting/marketing cookies
These cookies allow us to record your visit to our Services, the pages you have visited and the links you have followed. We will use this information to make our Services and the advertising displayed on it more relevant to your interests. We may also share this information with third parties for this purpose. These cookies may be set through our Services by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other web service. They are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.
As described in the table below, we and third parties use cookies and other tracking technologies on the Services.
Third-Party Providers
We work with third-party providers like Google who also set cookies for analytics and marketing purposes. This list may not be exhaustive, but we commit to keeping it updated based on information from these providers. Please see the following resources for more detailed information about the cookies set by these third-parties:

Managing Cookies
Users may opt out of receiving targeted advertising on websites through members of the Network Advertising Initiative by visiting https://optout.networkadvertising.org or the Digital Advertising Alliance by visiting https://optout.aboutads.info/. Please note that we also may work with companies that offer their own opt-out mechanisms and may not participate in the opt-out mechanisms that we linked above.
If you choose to opt out of targeted advertisements, you will still see advertisements online but they may not be relevant to you. Even if you do choose to opt out, not all companies that serve online behavioral advertising are included in this list, and so you may still receive some cookies and tailored advertisements from companies that are not listed.
