Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help us recognize your browser, remember your preferences, and understand how you interact with the Platform. Cookies can be “first-party” (set by YoTop10) or “third-party” (set by other services).

2. Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the Platform to function. They maintain your login session, remember your authentication token, store your content preferences, and enable security features like CSRF protection. Without these cookies, core features like voting, posting, and ranking would not work.

3. Analytics Cookies

We use analytics cookies to understand how users engage with the Platform — which lists are viewed most, how debates are navigated, and where users spend time. This data helps us improve rankings, recommendations, and overall user experience. Analytics data is aggregated and does not personally identify you.

4. Advertising Cookies

Advertising cookies may be used to deliver relevant ads and measure campaign effectiveness. These cookies track browsing activity across sites and may be set by advertising partners. We do not sell your personal data to advertisers, but ad-supported features may involve third-party tracking.

5. Managing Cookies

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies, though this may impair functionality. You can opt out of analytics cookies by adjusting your preferences. For advertising cookies, you can opt out through industry tools like the Digital Advertising Alliance or your device's ad tracking settings.

6. Third-Party Cookies

Third-party services integrated into YoTop10 (such as analytics providers or embedded content) may set their own cookies. We do not control these cookies. Refer to each third party's privacy policy for details on their data practices.
