What Are Cookies and How We Use Them
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device - computer, smartphone, or tablet - through your web browser when you visit. These files contain anonymous unique identifiers that allow our platform to recognize your browser, remember your preferences, and analyze how you interact with TheNewRelationships.
As an international dating platform connecting Western men with Asian women, we use cookies to deliver a secure, personalized experience. Cookies help us keep you signed in during browsing sessions, remember your search preferences and communication settings, and ensure the platform runs smoothly across devices. Without certain essential cookies, core features like account login and profile browsing would not function correctly.
In addition to browser cookies, our servers automatically collect standard log data when you visit any page. This includes your IP address, browser type and version, internet service provider, referring and exit pages, date and time stamps, and the number of clicks. This information helps us maintain site security, diagnose technical issues, and improve overall performance.
We are committed to transparency about how and why we collect this data. This Cookie Policy explains the types of cookies we use, who else may place cookies on your device, and how you can manage or disable them.

Third-Party Cookies
In addition to our own cookies, TheNewRelationships allows a limited number of trusted third-party services to place cookies on your device. Each partner has its own privacy and cookie policies, which we encourage you to review:
- Google Analytics - We use Google Analytics to collect anonymized data about site traffic, user behavior patterns, and demographic insights. Google Analytics sets cookies such as
_gaand_gidto distinguish unique visitors and throttle request rates. Google's privacy policy is available at policies.google.com/privacy. - Payment Processors - When you purchase credits or upgrade your membership, our payment partners (such as Stripe) may set cookies to process transactions securely, prevent fraud, and comply with financial regulations.
- Advertising Networks - Third-party ad partners, including Google DART cookies, may serve ads based on your visits to TheNewRelationships and other websites. These cookies enable frequency capping, aggregated ad reporting, and interest-based advertising.
We do not sell your personal data to any third party. Third-party cookies are used solely for the purposes described above, and we contractually require our partners to handle your data in compliance with applicable privacy laws.
