This Cookie Policy explains how NEXUS ("NEXUS", "we", "us", or "our") uses cookies, local storage, pixels, and similar technologies on nexusmatchmaker.com and any related services (the "Platform"). By using the Platform, you consent to the use of cookies in accordance with this policy. You can manage your preferences at any time through your browser settings or the cookie banner and language controls available on the site.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, and display choices) over a period of time, so you do not have to re-enter them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another. We also use local storage and session storage for similar purposes.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies to keep the Platform secure, to understand how it is used, to remember your preferences, and to deliver the matching experience. We do not use cookies to identify you personally beyond the information you choose to provide.
3. Categories of Cookies We Use
3.1 Essential cookies
These cookies are necessary for the Platform to function and cannot be switched off. They include session and authentication tokens used to keep you signed in, protect your account, and prevent fraudulent activity. Without these cookies, core services such as signing in, matching, and messaging would not work.
3.2 Preference and functionality cookies
These cookies remember choices you make, such as your preferred language, display settings, and whether you have dismissed a notice. Our language synchronisation feature may store a language preference in your browser (for example, via a cookie set by our translation widget) and in your profile so that the Platform loads in your chosen language on future visits.
3.3 Analytics and performance cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Platform, which pages are most popular, and where we can improve performance. We may use aggregated, pseudonymous data to refine the matching engine and the directory. Where we use third-party analytics, we do so on the basis of consent and provide an easy way to opt out.
3.4 Marketing and personalisation cookies
We do not currently use advertising cookies. Any future use of personalisation cookies for marketing or partner recommendations would be based on consent and disclosed in an updated version of this policy.
4. Third-Party Cookies and Services
Some features of the Platform rely on third-party services that may set their own cookies, including:
- Translation widget: Our language selector is powered by a third-party translation service. That service may set cookies to remember your selected language and to detect the translated state of a page.
- Authentication and backend: Our backend provider uses cookies and tokens to manage authentication, session state, and security.
- Analytics providers: Where we use analytics, those providers may set cookies to track visits and usage patterns.
We do not control the cookies set by third-party services. Please review their privacy and cookie policies for more information.
5. Managing Cookies
You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. Most browsers allow you to refuse all cookies, to accept only first-party cookies, or to delete cookies when you close the browser. Please note that disabling essential cookies may prevent you from using certain parts of the Platform, including signing in or accessing your matches.
For more information on how to manage cookies in common browsers, visit the help pages of your browser provider.
6. Cookie Storage Duration
Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them manually. Essential authentication tokens are typically refreshed on each session, while preference cookies may last longer so that we can remember your settings across visits.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, law, or our services. Any material changes will be notified via the Platform or by email. The "last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was last revised.
