The detail behind the cookies section of the privacy policy — what is actually stored, who else is involved, and how to switch it off.

Where this sits
The privacy policy describes the three categories in use — essential, functional and analytics. This page is the detailed version of the same thing: which third parties are involved, how to control them, and what breaks if you do.
No account is needed to start a chat, so there is less to store than on a site that makes you register. What is stored is mostly about keeping one session working.
Third parties actually involved
Rather than a generic list, these are the outside services the site loads:
Google Analytics 4 — aggregate usage measurement: how many people arrived, which pages they opened, whether a feature is used at all. It is what tells us a page is worth keeping. It is not used to build an advertising profile of you.
Agora — the real-time audio and video layer. This one is not analytics; it is how a call happens at all. Blocking it does not reduce tracking, it stops video chat from working.
Google Fonts — the typefaces the pages are set in.
Each runs under its own terms as well as ours. If that list ever grows, this page is where it gets updated.
Controlling it
Your browser decides what it accepts, and every mainstream browser can block or clear storage per-site:
Chrome — Settings → Privacy and security → Third-party cookies; per-site under "Site settings".
Safari — Settings → Safari → Advanced → Website Data (iOS), or Safari → Settings → Privacy (macOS).
Firefox — Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data.
Edge — Settings → Cookies and site permissions.
Private or incognito windows clear everything on close, which is the quickest way to use the site without leaving anything behind.
What stops working if you block it
Essential blocked — the session cannot be held together. Signing in and staying in a room will fail.
Functional blocked — the site works, but forgets your preferences each visit.
Analytics blocked — no effect on you at all. The site behaves identically; we just see less about how it is used.
If a control on this page does not match what your browser actually shows — they move things between versions — mail [email protected] and we will correct the page.
