Cookie Policy

​

Effective Date: August 27, 2025

Last Updated: December 25, 2025

​

At Flovara Inc. (“we,” “our,” or “us”), we use cookies and similar technologies (like pixels and SDKs) to operate Bente, improve your experience, and support core functionality. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and the choices available to you.

​

​

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device that allow us to recognize you, remember your preferences, and improve performance. We also use related technologies such as:

  • Pixels: Tiny graphics (like the Meta Pixel) that track actions for analytics and marketing.

  • SDKs: Software Development Kits embedded in our App for functionality (like Google Maps).

  • Local Storage: Storing data locally on your device for faster loading.

​

2. Types of Cookies We Use

a. Essential Cookies Required for core functionality, such as secure login, user authentication, account security, and maintaining sessions. You cannot disable these.

b. Performance & Analytics Cookies Help us understand how users interact with Bente so we can improve app performance, stability, and usability. These may include services like Firebase Analytics or Google Analytics.

c. Functional Cookies Support enhanced features, such as remembering your preferences (e.g., avatar customizations, privacy settings, audio preferences).

d. Advertising & Marketing Cookies (Targeting) Used to deliver promotional content and measure campaign effectiveness (e.g., Meta Pixel).

Important Legal Note: Under California (CPRA) and other state laws, using these tracking technologies for targeted advertising is defined as "Sharing" your personal information. You have the right to opt-out of this "Sharing" via our [Do Not Sell or Share My Info] link in your settings.

​

3. Why We Use Cookies

We use cookies and related technologies to:

  • Keep you signed in and maintain session integrity.

  • Enable AR-based features such as venue check-ins and profile previews.

  • Improve matchmaking accuracy and app personalization.

  • Detect fraud, maintain security, and verify your location for Hotspots.

  • Analyze usage patterns to improve features and troubleshoot errors.

​

4. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are placed by third-party service providers. We do not control these cookies. Key providers include:

​

5. Your Choices (Opt-Out Rights)

You have tools to control cookies:

  • Browser Settings: You can block cookies via your browser or device settings (though Bente may not work correctly).

  • Privacy Settings: In the Bente App, you can toggle off "Allow Analytics & Marketing" to disable non-essential tracking.

  • Global Privacy Control (GPC): If we detect a "Do Not Track" or GPC signal from your device, we automatically disable Advertising & Marketing cookies for you.

Note: Bente is intended for U.S. users. We do not use EU-style "Accept All" banners, but we honor U.S. state "Opt-Out" rights.

​

​

6. Data Retention

  • Session cookies: Deleted when you close the app.

  • Persistent cookies: Remain until manually cleared or until they expire (typically 6-12 months).

  • Analytics data: Retained in aggregated or de-identified form for business analysis.

We may update this policy. Material changes will be notified via the App.
