What Cookies Are Cookies are small text files that may be stored on a user’s browser, device, or computer when the user visits or uses a website or online service. Cookies can help a website remember information about a user’s visit, such as login status, preferences, security settings, language settings, session activity, or shopping and checkout activity. Cookies may be session cookies, persistent cookies, first-party cookies, or third-party cookies. Session cookies are temporary cookies that expire when the browser is closed. Persistent cookies remain on the device for a set period or until deleted. First-party cookies are set directly by FanSpot. Third-party cookies are set by service providers or third parties that help FanSpot operate, measure, secure, or advertise the platform. 4. Similar Technologies FanSpot may also use technologies similar to cookies. These may include pixels, tags, tracking scripts, local storage, session storage, device identifiers, browser identifiers, software development kits, log files, web beacons, analytics tools, security and fraud-prevention tools, embedded third-party services, and advertising and attribution tools where permitted. For simplicity, this Policy may refer to cookies and similar technologies together as “cookies.” 5. Why FanSpot Uses Cookies FanSpot may use cookies to keep users logged in, secure accounts, remember user preferences, remember creator and fan settings, operate checkout and billing flows, support subscriptions, support creator storefronts, support carts, purchases, or order sessions where applicable, detect suspicious activity, prevent fraud, prevent account abuse, enforce age-access settings where applicable, support account security, improve site speed and performance, measure feature usage, understand platform traffic, debug errors, improve creator tools, improve fan experience, support customer support, support legal, security, and compliance functions, support advertising, attribution, or marketing where permitted, and remember cookie preferences. 6. Categories of Cookies FanSpot May Use FanSpot may use the following categories of cookies. 7. Strictly Necessary Cookies Strictly necessary cookies are required for FanSpot to work properly. These cookies may be used for login sessions, authentication, account security, password-protected access, checkout flow, subscription management, purchase confirmation, fraud prevention, load balancing, platform stability, privacy preference storage, cookie consent settings, account access controls, age-access controls where applicable, admin security, form submission, error prevention, and basic site operation. Users may not be able to disable strictly necessary cookies through FanSpot settings because the platform may not function without them. Users may still disable cookies through their browser, but doing so may break login, checkout, subscriptions, purchases, creator tools, or account settings. 8. Security and Fraud-Prevention Cookies FanSpot may use security and fraud-prevention cookies to protect users, creators, payment systems, and the platform. These cookies may help FanSpot detect suspicious logins, account takeover attempts, bots, spam, fake accounts, payment abuse, repeated failed payments, chargeback abuse, refund abuse, credential stuffing, account sharing, ban evasion, and platform rule violations. Security cookies may also help protect creator payouts, checkout flows, private content access, age-restricted access where applicable, and audit and security logs. Security cookies may be set by FanSpot or trusted security and infrastructure providers. 9. Preference Cookies Preference cookies help FanSpot remember user choices. These cookies may remember login preferences, language, region, display settings, theme preferences, creator profile settings, fan browsing preferences, saved filter settings, cookie choices, age-access setting status where applicable, search preferences, notification preferences, content category preferences, and accessibility preferences. Preference cookies help FanSpot provide a smoother user experience. 10. Performance and Analytics Cookies FanSpot may use performance and analytics cookies to understand how users use the platform. These cookies may help FanSpot measure page views, traffic sources, feature usage, creator page visits, store visits, subscription page visits, checkout completion, purchase flow drop-off, error rates, page load times, device and browser performance, search usage, content engagement, creator dashboard usage, fan library usage, report flow usage, account creation flow, and creator application flow. Analytics help FanSpot improve platform design, fix bugs, reduce friction, improve creator tools, and understand platform health. Analytics cookies may be set by FanSpot or analytics service providers. 11. Functional Cookies Functional cookies help FanSpot provide enhanced platform features. These cookies may support creator profile customization, saved content libraries, bookmarks, fan preferences, creator dashboard settings, storefront filters, search filters, draft preservation, messaging interface settings, subscription management screens, checkout session continuity, recently viewed creator pages, content category toggles, and interface improvements. If functional cookies are disabled, some platform features may not work properly. 12. Payment and Checkout Cookies FanSpot may use cookies and similar technologies to support purchases, subscriptions, tips, store purchases, paid posts, and other payment features. Payment and checkout cookies may help maintain checkout sessions, prevent duplicate transactions, confirm payment status, support subscription creation, support subscription cancellation, support failed-payment handling, detect suspicious transactions, connect purchases to the correct account, connect payments to the correct creator, support refund and dispute review, support chargeback evidence, support tax or region handling, support payout calculations, and prevent checkout abuse. Payment-related cookies may be set by FanSpot or payment-related service providers. FanSpot does not intend to store full payment-card information in cookies. 13. Age-Access and Age-Restricted Content Cookies If FanSpot enables age-restricted content, FanSpot may use cookies and similar technologies to support age-access controls. These cookies may help FanSpot remember whether a user has seen an age gate, remember whether a user has enabled age-restricted access, prevent age-restricted content from appearing to ineligible users, suppress age-restricted content from general discovery, filter search results, filter recommendations, support account-level access settings, support verification status checks, prevent repeated access prompts where appropriate, detect attempts to bypass access controls, restrict access in unsupported locations, and enforce adult-content rules. Age-access cookies do not replace identity or age verification where verification is required. Users must not manipulate cookies, browser settings, devices, accounts, or technical controls to bypass age restrictions. 14. Creator Analytics Cookies FanSpot may use cookies and analytics tools to provide creators with aggregated or account-level insights. Creator analytics may include profile visits, post views, store views, product clicks, subscription conversion, purchase activity, fan engagement, content performance, traffic sources, campaign performance, creator dashboard usage, and general audience trends. FanSpot may limit the amount of personal fan information shown to creators. FanSpot does not intend to use cookies to give creators fans’ full payment-card details, government ID documents, private tax information, banking data, or raw verification records. 15. Advertising, Marketing, and Attribution Cookies FanSpot may use advertising, marketing, or attribution cookies where permitted. These cookies may help FanSpot measure advertising performance, understand which campaigns bring users to FanSpot, track creator outreach campaign performance, measure signups from ads, measure creator application conversions, measure fan purchase conversions, limit repeated ads, show more relevant promotions, understand referral sources, and support affiliate or referral programs if enabled. FanSpot may use advertising cookies only where permitted by law and user settings. If FanSpot uses targeted advertising, retargeting, or third-party advertising tools, users may receive additional notice and choices where required. 16. Referral and Creator Promotion Cookies FanSpot may use cookies to support referrals, creator campaigns, creator promotions, founding creator programs, affiliate links, invite links, or campaign tracking. These cookies may help determine which link brought a user to FanSpot, which creator referred a fan, which campaign led to signup, which promotion was used, whether a discount or referral benefit applies, whether a creator promotion produced a sale, and whether a founding creator campaign produced traffic or revenue. FanSpot may set limits on referral tracking, attribution windows, and promotion eligibility. 17. Social Media and Embedded Content Cookies FanSpot may allow links, embeds, share buttons, social media previews, or third-party integrations. Third-party services may set cookies when users interact with embedded content or external features. Examples may include social share buttons, embedded posts, video players, login integrations, analytics integrations, support widgets, advertising pixels, and creator social links. FanSpot does not control every cookie set by third-party websites or platforms. Users should review third-party privacy and cookie policies when interacting with external services. 18. Admin and Internal Security Cookies FanSpot may use cookies to protect admin tools and internal systems. Admin cookies may support admin login, admin session management, two-factor authentication, role-based access, moderator queues, report review, audit logging, payout hold tools, creator verification review, security alerts, admin access protection, and sensitive data access controls. Admin cookies are required to protect FanSpot’s internal operations and user data. 19. Cookie Duration Cookies may remain on a user’s browser or device for different lengths of time. Cookies may expire when the browser closes, after a few minutes, after a few hours, after a few days, after several months, after the user clears cookies, when FanSpot or a service provider updates cookie settings, or when the cookie reaches its programmed expiration date. FanSpot may use session cookies and persistent cookies depending on the feature. 20. First-Party Cookies First-party cookies are set directly by FanSpot. FanSpot may use first-party cookies for login, security, preferences, account settings, creator settings, checkout sessions, subscription settings, report forms, cookie consent choices, age-access settings if applicable, platform analytics, and feature performance. 21. Third-Party Cookies Third-party cookies are set by service providers or third parties used by FanSpot. Third-party cookies may support payment processing, fraud prevention, identity verification, age verification, analytics, advertising, email tools, customer support, security monitoring, hosting and infrastructure, error tracking, social media integrations, embedded media, and referral tracking. Third-party providers may process information according to their own privacy and cookie policies. 22. Cookie Consent Where required, FanSpot may request cookie consent before using certain non-essential cookies. FanSpot may provide a cookie banner, cookie notice, privacy settings, or other consent tools. Users may be able to choose whether to allow analytics cookies, advertising cookies, marketing cookies, functional cookies, personalization cookies, and third-party cookies. Strictly necessary cookies may be used without optional consent where they are required to provide the platform. 23. Managing Cookie Preferences Users may manage cookies through FanSpot cookie settings if available, browser settings, device settings, privacy plug-ins, third-party opt-out tools, advertising preference tools where applicable, and clearing cookies manually. Disabling cookies may affect FanSpot functionality. Features that may not work correctly without cookies include login, creator dashboard, fan account settings, checkout, subscriptions, store purchases, age-access settings, saved preferences, messaging, reports, security tools, admin tools, and fraud prevention. 24. Browser Controls Most browsers allow users to view cookies, delete cookies, block cookies, block third-party cookies, clear cookies after each session, set site-specific cookie permissions, use private browsing mode, and receive notices before cookies are stored. Browser controls may differ depending on the browser and device. If a user blocks all cookies, FanSpot may not work properly. 25. Mobile and Device Controls If FanSpot is accessed through a mobile browser, mobile app, or mobile device, users may have additional controls through device settings. Device settings may allow users to limit tracking, reset advertising identifiers, restrict app permissions, control location access, clear browser data, control notifications, and manage privacy settings. FanSpot may provide additional mobile-specific privacy controls if mobile apps are launched. 26. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Signals Some browsers or devices may send “Do Not Track” or global privacy preference signals. FanSpot’s response to these signals may depend on applicable law, platform settings, and technical capability. Where FanSpot is legally required to recognize certain opt-out preference signals, FanSpot will aim to process those signals according to applicable requirements. 27. Cookies and Personal Information Cookies may collect or be connected to personal information. Depending on how a user uses FanSpot, cookies may be connected to account ID, session ID, device information, browser information, IP address, approximate location, login status, purchase activity, subscription activity, creator page visits, content interactions, referral source, security signals, age-access settings, preferences, analytics identifiers, and advertising identifiers where permitted. FanSpot handles personal information according to the FanSpot Privacy Policy. 28. Cookies and Sensitive Information FanSpot does not intend to store full government ID images, full tax identification numbers, full payment-card numbers, or full banking details in cookies. Sensitive information such as identity verification, tax information, banking information, payment-card information, and age-verification documents should be handled through secure systems and authorized service providers, not ordinary browser cookies. Cookies may still help connect a user’s browser session to secure verification, payment, tax, or payout workflows. 29. Cookies and Account Security Users should avoid using FanSpot on shared or public devices when accessing private content, creator dashboards, billing settings, or age-restricted settings. Users should log out after using shared devices. Users should clear cookies on shared devices if needed. FanSpot may not be responsible for unauthorized access caused by shared devices, shared browsers, account sharing, failure to log out, weak passwords, compromised devices, or users allowing others to access their accounts. 30. Cookies and Account Deletion Deleting a FanSpot account may not automatically delete all cookies from a user’s browser or device. Users may need to clear cookies through their browser or device settings. FanSpot may delete or de-identify account-linked data according to the FanSpot Privacy Policy, but cookies stored locally on a user’s device may remain until deleted or expired. 31. Changes to FanSpot’s Cookie Use FanSpot may change its cookie use as the platform grows. Changes may occur because of new features, new creator tools, new payment flows, new analytics tools, new security tools, new advertising tools, new age-access controls, new verification systems, new legal requirements, new service providers, platform performance improvements, and fraud-prevention improvements. FanSpot may update this Cookie Policy when cookie practices change. 32. Updates to This Cookie Policy FanSpot may update this Cookie Policy at any time. FanSpot may notify users by posting the updated Cookie Policy, updating the “Last Updated” date, showing a cookie notice, sending an email, showing an in-platform notice, or using another reasonable method. Continued use of FanSpot after this Cookie Policy is updated means the user accepts the updated Policy, subject to any consent rights required by law. 33.
