1. Introduction
Welcome to YouLikeFans.com.
At YouLikeFans, we respect your privacy and are committed to providing clear information about how cookies and similar technologies may be used when you visit our website.
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, why they are used, how they support our services, and how you can manage your preferences.
Our website, available at https://youlikefans.com, provides a points-based social media exchange platform where registered members can earn credits by completing eligible tasks and use those credits to create campaigns across supported social media networks and websites.
This Cookie Policy applies to visitors and registered users of YouLikeFans.
It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites may store on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-connected device when you visit a website.
They can help a website recognize your browser, maintain your login session, remember selected settings, and provide essential functionality.
Cookies may be temporary or remain stored for a defined period.
Session Cookies
Session cookies are generally used during a browsing session and typically expire when the session ends or your browser is closed.
Persistent Cookies
Persistent cookies remain on your device until their defined expiration date or until you delete them.
Websites may also use similar technologies, such as local storage, to save information or support website features. The privacy and consent requirements applicable to these technologies depend on their purpose and operation.
3. Why Cookies Are Used on YouLikeFans
Cookies and similar technologies can support the operation, functionality, security, and usability of YouLikeFans.
Depending on the features being used, these technologies may serve purposes such as:
Maintaining secure user login sessions
Supporting account authentication
Remembering website settings
Storing cookie consent preferences
Protecting website forms and user accounts
Supporting account and campaign functionality
Detecting potentially suspicious activity
Improving website performance
Understanding website usage where analytics are enabled
Supporting optional advertising or personalization features where applicable
The use of cookies depends on their specific purpose and the technologies implemented on our website.
4. Types of Cookies
4.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
Strictly necessary cookies support essential functions required for the operation of our website and the services requested by users.
These may include technologies used for:
User authentication and login sessions
Account security
Protection against unauthorized access
Session management
Essential website navigation
Remembering cookie consent choices
Maintaining the functionality of account-related services
These technologies help make it possible to use essential features of the YouLikeFans platform.
Under Section 25(2) of the German Telecommunications-Digital Services Data Protection Act (TDDDG), consent is not required for access to or storage of information on a user's device where it is strictly necessary to provide a digital service explicitly requested by that user, or where another applicable statutory exception applies.
Any processing of personal data must also have an appropriate legal basis under the GDPR.
4.2 Functional and Preference Cookies
Functional technologies may help websites remember preferences or provide additional convenience features.
Examples include:
Language preferences
Interface settings
Selected display options
Other optional personalization settings
Whether these technologies require consent depends on their specific purpose and whether they are strictly necessary for a service explicitly requested by the user.
Optional functional technologies requiring consent will only be used with the necessary consent.
4.3 Analytics and Performance Cookies
Analytics technologies can help website operators understand how visitors use a website and identify areas for improvement.
Where analytics services are enabled, they may be used to understand:
Which pages are visited
How visitors navigate through the website
General website usage patterns
Technical performance issues
Browser and device categories
Errors affecting website functionality
Analytics information may involve personal data or online identifiers.
Analytics cookies and similar technologies requiring consent will only be activated after the user has provided valid consent.
4.4 Advertising and Marketing Cookies
Advertising technologies may be used to measure advertising effectiveness, personalize content, or support marketing activities.
Where advertising or marketing technologies are implemented, they may process information concerning website interactions or online identifiers.
Such technologies may be provided by external services.
Advertising and marketing technologies requiring consent will not be activated unless the user has given valid consent.
Users may reject optional advertising and marketing cookies without losing access to website features that do not depend on those technologies.
5. First-Party and Third-Party Cookies
First-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are set by the website domain you are visiting.
On YouLikeFans, these may support features such as account sessions, website functionality, security, and preference management.
Third-Party Cookies
Third-party cookies may be associated with external services integrated into a website.
Depending on the services used, third-party technologies can support features such as payment processing, embedded content, analytics, or advertising.
Third-party providers may process information under their own privacy policies and applicable legal obligations.
Where third-party cookies or comparable technologies require consent, they must not be activated before the necessary consent has been obtained.
6. Cookies and Your YouLikeFans Account
Registered members can access account features related to social media exchange tasks, credits, and promotional campaigns.
Essential session and authentication technologies may be used to support secure access to these features.
These technologies can help maintain an authenticated session, protect account access, and support the reliable operation of account-related services.
Account and campaign information is processed as described in our Privacy Policy.
Rejecting optional cookies does not automatically prevent the use of essential account features. However, disabling cookies that are strictly necessary for login or authentication through your browser settings may affect the availability of those features.
7. Cookie Consent and Your Choices
We respect your right to make informed choices about optional cookies and similar technologies.
Where consent is legally required, optional technologies must not be activated until valid consent has been obtained.
Our website provides a cookie notice through which visitors can accept or reject optional cookie use.
Accepting Optional Cookies
Selecting "Accept" indicates consent to the optional purposes described in the applicable cookie notice, to the extent that valid, informed consent has been obtained.
Rejecting Optional Cookies
Selecting "Deny" indicates that optional cookies requiring consent should not be activated.
Strictly necessary technologies may remain active where they qualify for an applicable legal exception.
Withdrawing Consent
You have the right to withdraw previously given consent at any time.
Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.
You can also delete cookies through your browser settings. Deleting cookies may not, by itself, withdraw consent recorded by a website, so a separate and accessible withdrawal mechanism must be available wherever consent is collected.
8. Managing Cookies Through Your Browser
Most internet browsers allow users to review, delete, block, or restrict cookies.
Cookie settings can usually be found in the privacy or security section of your browser.
You can find additional information from your browser provider:

You may configure your browser to block cookies or delete cookies already stored on your device.
Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies can affect important website features, including user authentication and account access.
Browser settings do not necessarily prevent every form of tracking or replace consent controls offered by websites.
9. Cookie Duration and Storage
The storage duration of cookies and similar technologies depends on their purpose and technical configuration.
Some cookies are used only during the current browser session.
Other cookies may remain stored for a defined period to support functions such as remembering preferences or maintaining a consent record.
Cookies may also be removed earlier when users delete them through their browser settings.
The specific storage periods applicable to individual cookies depend on the technologies deployed and their configuration.
Personal data associated with cookies is processed and retained in accordance with the purposes and retention information described in our Privacy Policy.

We recommend reviewing the applicable policies of external services before using them.
