Cookie Policy
Last updated: 25 July 20261. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website saves to your browser when you visit. They are used to remember information about your visit — for example, keeping you logged in as you move between pages. Cookies cannot run programs or carry viruses, and they cannot access other files on your device.
2. How We Use Cookies
We only use cookies that are strictly necessary to make the forum work. We do not use advertising cookies, marketing cookies, or any third-party tracking cookies. We do not use Google Analytics or similar services.
3. Cookies We Set
The following cookies may be set when you visit My Love Doll:
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| PHPSESSID | This is the standard PHP session cookie. It keeps you logged in as you browse between pages. Without it, you would need to log in on every page. | Essential | Until you close your browser or log out |
| Session data | When you log in, your session stores your user ID, username, and group so the forum can display the correct content and permissions for you. | Essential | Until you close your browser or log out |
We do not set any persistent cookies that survive after you close your browser, beyond what is required for a “remember me” feature if you choose to use it.
4. Third-Party Cookies
We do not intentionally load third-party cookies. However, some resources used by the forum are loaded from external CDN servers (such as Font Awesome for icons). These requests are made by your browser directly to those servers and their own cookie and privacy policies may apply. We do not control these and they do not track your activity on our forum.
5. Essential Cookies and Your Consent
The cookies we use are strictly necessary for the forum to function. Under UK cookie law, essential cookies do not require your consent. You cannot opt out of essential cookies if you wish to use the forum, but you can block or delete them via your browser settings (see section 6 below). Note that doing so will mean you cannot stay logged in.
6. Managing Cookies in Your Browser
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Here are links to instructions for the most common browsers:

If we change the cookies we use, we will update this page and revise the “last updated” date at the top. Continued use of the forum after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
