Farmers Match

Cookie Policy

This policy explains how Farmers Match uses cookies and similar technologies across our farmer dating site. Last updated: July 26, 2026.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They help the site remember your actions and preferences - such as staying signed in, keeping your search filters, and protecting your account - so you do not have to reset everything each time you return.

On Farmers Match, cookies play a practical role in keeping our community secure and easy to use. They support essential dating site safety features, remember your display and privacy choices, and help us understand how members navigate the platform so we can keep improving it. We use cookies responsibly and never sell the information they collect.

Cookies cannot access files on your device, run programs, or carry viruses. They simply store small pieces of information that make your visit smoother and safer.

Alongside cookies, we may use similar technologies such as local storage and pixels. Where this policy refers to "cookies," it includes these related tools unless we note otherwise.

Types of Cookies We Use

We group the cookies on Farmers Match into three clear categories based on what they do. Essential cookies are always active because the site cannot function securely without them, while analytics and functional cookies help us improve your experience.

Cookie Type Purpose Typical Duration
Essential Keep you signed in, secure your session, and support core dating site safety and account-protection features. These cannot be switched off. Session to 12 months
Analytics Show us how members find and use pages so we can improve navigation, matching, and content. Data is aggregated and does not identify you personally. Up to 24 months
Functional Remember your preferences - such as light or dark theme, state and niche filters, and privacy settings - so the site feels tailored to you. Up to 12 months

You can browse most of Farmers Match with only essential cookies active. Analytics and functional cookies are optional and can be managed through your browser, as described in the next section.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You are always in control of the cookies stored on your device. Every major web browser lets you view, block, or delete cookies through its settings, so you can decide how much information Farmers Match and other sites can remember.

  1. Open your browser's settings or preferences menu, then find the section labeled Privacy, Security, or Cookies and site data.
  2. Review your current cookies. You can clear existing cookies, block all cookies, or allow only first-party cookies from the sites you visit.
  3. Choose whether to block third-party cookies specifically, which limits tracking across websites while keeping most site features working.
  4. Save your changes. If you block or delete essential cookies, you may need to sign in again and some features, such as saved filters, may reset.

Managing cookies is a healthy habit alongside our other online dating safety tips. Reviewing your privacy settings regularly is part of staying safe on any dating platform.

Many browsers also offer a private or incognito mode that limits how long cookies are stored. Keep in mind that disabling all cookies may affect how Farmers Match and other websites work.

Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on Farmers Match are set by trusted third-party services rather than by us directly. These partners help us measure site performance and support profile verification and dating site safety, and each operates under its own privacy practices.

For example, analytics providers may place cookies to report how pages perform in aggregate, and security or verification partners may use cookies to help confirm that accounts belong to real people. We choose these partners carefully and limit the information they can access. We do not allow third parties to use cookies on our site for selling your personal data.

To understand how these partners handle information, we encourage you to review their own privacy notices. You can also learn more about the data we collect and your rights in our Privacy Policy and about how we protect the community on our Safety Tips page.

Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the technologies we use, in the law, or in how Farmers Match operates. When we make significant changes, we will revise the "last updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify members within the platform.

We recommend reviewing this policy occasionally so you stay informed about how cookies support your experience on our farmer dating site. If you have questions about how we use cookies, please reach out through our Contact page and we will be glad to help.
