This Cookie Policy explains how MyMatch.lk uses cookies and similar technologies. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
MyMatch.lk ("MyMatch," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website and web application (the "Services") to operate the platform, keep you signed in, remember your preferences, and understand how the Services are used. This policy describes what those technologies are, which ones we use, and how you can control them.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:
- Essential operation – To deliver core features such as secure login, account sessions, fraud prevention, and load balancing. These are necessary for the Services to function and cannot be switched off through our site alone.
- Preferences – To remember choices you make, such as display language (English or Sinhala) and certain interface settings, so you do not have to set them on every visit.
- Authentication – To recognise you when you return while your session is active and to protect your account from unauthorised access.
- Performance and analytics – To understand how visitors and members use the Services (for example, which pages are viewed and whether errors occur), so we can improve stability and user experience. Where used, this information is generally aggregated and not used to identify you for advertising on third-party sites.
3. Types of Cookies We May Use
3.1 Strictly necessary
These cookies are required for the Services to work. They include session and security cookies that support sign-in, API requests, and protection of your account. Without them, you may not be able to register, log in, or use messaging and profile features.
3.2 Functional
These cookies remember your preferences and choices to provide a more consistent experience, such as language selection and items stored locally to keep the application responsive.
3.3 Analytics (if enabled)
We may use analytics tools to measure traffic and usage patterns. Analytics cookies help us see which areas of the site are popular and where we should improve performance. We configure such tools to minimise personal data collection where possible.
3.4 Third-party cookies
Some features may rely on trusted third parties (for example, payment or file hosting providers). Those parties may set their own cookies when you interact with their services through MyMatch.lk. Their use of cookies is governed by their respective privacy and cookie policies.
4. How Long Cookies Last
- Session cookies – Deleted when you close your browser or end your session.
- Persistent cookies – Remain for a set period or until you delete them. For example, login or preference cookies may last for days or months so you stay signed in or keep your language choice.
- Local storage – May persist until you clear site data in your browser or we update the application.
5. Your Choices
You can control cookies in several ways:
- Browser settings – Most browsers let you block or delete cookies. Look for "Privacy," "Cookies," or "Site data" in your browser help menu. Blocking all cookies may prevent you from logging in or using key features.
- Clear site data – You can remove stored data for mymatch.lk from your browser. You will usually need to sign in again afterward.
- Do Not Track – Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" signal. There is no universal standard for how sites must respond; we currently do not change our practices solely based on that signal, but you may still use browser controls above.
6. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, law, or our practices. We will post the revised policy on this page and update the effective date. Material changes may also be communicated through the Services or by email where appropriate.
7. Contact Us
