Last Updated: January 14, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Snipesearch ("we," "our," or "us") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website and use our search engine service (collectively, the "Service"). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile device) when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work more efficiently and provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Snipesearch) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics).

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for several purposes:

2.1 Essential Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our Service and to use some of its features. Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver the Service, you cannot refuse them without impacting how our Service functions.

  • Session Management: To maintain your session while using our Service
  • Cookie Consent: To remember your cookie preferences
  • Security: To protect against fraud and maintain security

2.2 Analytics Cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our Service. They help us understand how visitors interact with our website by providing information about areas visited, time spent on the site, and any issues encountered.

Analytics cookies are only placed with your consent. You can manage your cookie preferences at any time through our cookie settings.

2.3 Advertising/Marketing Cookies

These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other sites. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device.

Advertising cookies are only placed with your consent.

4.3 Opt-Out Links

You can opt out of certain third-party cookies:

5. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers incorporate a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Currently, there is no standard for how DNT signals should be interpreted. As a result, our Service does not currently respond to DNT browser signals or mechanisms.

6. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please revisit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
