Cookies Policy
Effective Date: 2026/1/26
findsapps.com (hereinafter referred to as "we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies (collectively referred to as "cookies") to enhance your browsing experience on our website (findsapps.com), improve our website performance, and provide you with more relevant content. This Cookies Policy explains in detail what cookies are, the types of cookies we use, how we use them, how long we keep them, and your choices regarding cookies. By accessing or using our website, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to our use of cookies as described in this Policy. If you do not agree to our use of cookies, you can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings, as explained below.
It is important to note that our website does NOT have any registration or login functions. Therefore, we do NOT use cookies to track or store any user account information (such as usernames, passwords, or profile details). All cookies we use are solely for the purpose of enhancing your browsing experience, analyzing user behavior, and improving our website—we do not use cookies to identify you personally or collect sensitive personal information.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small, text-based files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-connected device) when you visit a website. They are designed to store small amounts of information about your visit to the website and help the website recognize your device when you return. Cookies are widely used by website operators around the world because they enable websites to function properly, provide a better user experience, and collect valuable insights about how users interact with the website.
Cookies can be either "session cookies" or "persistent cookies":
- Session Cookies: These cookies are temporary and are deleted from your device when you close your web browser. They are used to maintain your session on the website (e.g., to keep track of the pages you view during a single visit) and enable basic website functionality;
- Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a longer period of time (as specified by the cookie’s expiration date) or until you manually delete them. They are used to remember your preferences and settings for future visits (e.g., your preferred language) and to analyze long-term user behavior.
In addition to cookies, we may use other similar tracking technologies, such as web beacons (also known as pixel tags or clear gifs), which are small, invisible images embedded in web pages or emails. Web beacons are used to track user interactions (e.g., whether you opened an email or clicked on a link) and to collect non-personal information about your visit. These technologies work in conjunction with cookies and are subject to the same privacy protections as cookies.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
We use four main types of cookies on our website: Necessary Cookies, Performance and Analytics Cookies, Functionality Cookies, and Third-Party Cookies. Each type of cookie serves a specific purpose, and we only use cookies that are necessary to provide and improve our services.
2.1 Necessary Cookies (Strictly Required Cookies)
These cookies are essential for the basic operation and functionality of our website. They enable you to navigate the website, access all its features, and use core services (e.g., loading pages correctly, accessing linked content, using the search bar). Without these cookies, our website may not function properly, and you may not be able to access certain parts of the website or use certain features.
Since these cookies are necessary for the service you have requested (accessing our website), you cannot opt out of them. They are typically session cookies and are deleted when you close your browser. Examples of Necessary Cookies we use include:
- Cookies that enable page navigation and load content correctly;
- Cookies that remember your browser settings to ensure the website displays properly on your device;
- Cookies that support the search function on our website (e.g., storing your search query temporarily to display results).
2.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies
These cookies collect non-personal information about how you use our website, such as which pages you visit most frequently, how long you spend on each page, how you navigate between pages, if you encounter any errors, and the search queries you enter. The information collected by these cookies is aggregated and anonymous (it does not identify you personally) and is used solely to analyze user behavior, evaluate the performance of our website, and make data-driven improvements to enhance the user experience.
We use this information to understand which parts of our website are most popular, which content is most valuable to our users, and where we can make improvements (e.g., optimizing page loading times, updating content categories). These cookies are typically persistent cookies and may remain on your device for a few months to a year (depending on the cookie’s expiration date). Examples of Performance and Analytics Cookies we use include:
- Google Analytics Cookies: We use Google Analytics, a third-party analytics service, to collect and analyze website usage data. Google Analytics cookies collect information such as your IP address (anonymized), browser type, device type, and usage patterns. For more information about Google Analytics and how it uses your data, please visit Google’s Privacy Policy;
- Internal Analytics Cookies: We use our own internal cookies to track basic usage metrics, such as the number of visitors to our website, the average time spent on the website, and the most viewed pages.
2.3 Functionality Cookies
These cookies allow our website to remember your preferences and settings to provide you with a more personalized and convenient browsing experience. They do not collect any personal information that can identify you, and they are not used for marketing purposes. Instead, they are used to enhance your experience by remembering choices you have made during your visit.
These cookies are typically persistent cookies and may remain on your device until they expire or you delete them. Examples of Functionality Cookies we use include:
- Cookies that remember your preferred language (if our website offers multiple languages);
- Cookies that remember your browser zoom settings or text size preferences;
- Cookies that remember the last page you visited on our website, so you can resume browsing where you left off;
- Cookies that remember your app category preferences (e.g., if you frequently view gaming apps, we may use a cookie to prioritize gaming content on your next visit).
2.4 Third-Party Cookies
Some third-party service providers may place cookies on your device when you visit our website. These third-party cookies are set by entities other than findsapps.com and are subject to the privacy policies of those third parties, not this Cookies Policy. We do not control these third-party cookies, and we are not responsible for the use of cookies by third parties.
The third-party cookies we may use on our website include:
- Analytics Cookies: As mentioned above, we use Google Analytics (a third party) to collect website usage data. Google Analytics sets its own cookies to track user behavior;
- App Store Link Cookies: When you click on a link to an official app store (e.g., Google Play, Apple App Store), the app store may set its own cookies to track your visit. These cookies are controlled by the app store, not by us;
- Advertising Cookies (If Applicable): We do not currently use advertising cookies on our website. However, if we ever use third-party advertising services in the future, those services may set advertising cookies to display personalized ads. We will update this Policy if we begin using advertising cookies.
