Analytics and Performance Cookies

We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our website. These cookies collect information about which pages you visit, how long you stay, what links you click, and where you came from. This data is aggregated and anonymized.

• Purpose: Measure site performance, understand user behavior, improve content, and identify technical issues.
• Information Collected: Pages visited, time on site, device type, browser type, referring website, geographic region (country/state level), and screen resolution.
• Third-Party Services: We may use Google Analytics or similar services. These services set their own cookies as detailed in their privacy policies.

Affiliate Tracking Cookies

sv388s.us participates in affiliate programs with international dating platforms including SakuraDate, NaomiDate, ShantiDate, MagnoliaDate, and AsiaFlame. When you click on a link to one of these dating sites, affiliate tracking cookies are set to attribute your visit and any subsequent actions.

• Purpose: Track clicks on affiliate links, attribute conversions, calculate commissions, and measure marketing effectiveness.
• Information Collected: Click timestamp, referring page URL, destination site, and unique session identifier. These cookies do not collect personal information about you.
• Duration: Affiliate cookies typically last between 30 to 90 days to allow proper attribution if you return to the dating site later.
• Third-Party Control: The dating platforms we link to may set additional cookies once you visit their sites. We do not control these third-party cookies. Please review the privacy and cookie policies of any dating site you visit.

Why We Use Cookies

sv388s.us uses cookies to achieve the following objectives in the context of providing international dating information:

• Improve User Experience: Remember your theme preference (light or dark mode) so you don't have to reset it each visit.
• Understand Our Audience: Analytics cookies help us understand which countries our visitors come from, which Asian bride categories are most popular, and which dating site reviews are most helpful.
• Measure Content Performance: We track which articles generate the most engagement so we can create more helpful content about international dating, IMBRA regulations, and K-1 visa processes.
• Support Our Operations: Affiliate commissions from dating site referrals allow us to maintain this free informational resource. Tracking cookies ensure we receive proper credit for referrals.
• Identify Technical Issues: Performance cookies help us identify pages that load slowly or have compatibility issues with certain browsers or devices.

We do not use cookies for targeted advertising, cross-site tracking, or selling your data to third parties. Our cookie use is limited to the purposes described in this policy.
