Niki Live Cookie Policy

Last updated: August 28, 2025

Niki Live understands that your privacy matters and we are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use. This Cookie Policy explains how and why cookies, web beacons, pixels, clear GIFs, SDKs, and similar technologies (collectively, “Cookies”) may be stored on and accessed from your device when you use or visit any Niki Live website or app that links to this policy. Please read this Cookie Policy together with our Privacy Policy. We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time.

By using Niki Live services and products (the “Niki Services”), you consent—where applicable—to our information practices and to the storage and access of Cookies as described in this policy.

If you have questions, contact us via the in-app Support Center or at privacy@niki.live.

What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small text file that a website or app can store on—and read from—your device (computer, phone, tablet) when you visit, subject to your consent where required. Cookies allow apps and sites to recognize your device, remember your preferences, keep you signed in, and help provide, protect, and improve the Niki Services (for example, by personalizing content and enabling a safer experience).
Similar technologies (like app SDKs, pixels, and local storage) may be used for the same purposes.

Which types of Cookies do we use?

Below are the main categories of Cookies that may be used on the Niki Services.

1) Necessary Cookies

These Cookies are essential for the Niki Services to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as logging in, adjusting privacy settings, or filling in forms. Without them, requested services (e.g., access to secure areas, transactions, or paid content) cannot be provided.

Necessary Cookies on the Niki Services may include:

Cookie Name	Further information
`niki_sid`	Session identifier used to connect your device to our servers.
`auth_token`	Maintains login state and authenticates user requests.
`csrf_token`	Protects forms and actions against cross-site request forgery.
`uid`	Internal user ID for secure session routing.
`device_id`	Helps detect suspicious activity and prevent fraud/abuse.

These Cookies are essential and disabling them may severely affect how the Niki Services work.

2) Functionality Cookies

These Cookies let us operate the Niki Services according to your choices. They allow us to “remember” you between visits—for example, your display settings, region, and language—so we can provide the same customizations next time.

Functionality Cookies on the Niki Services may include:

Cookie Name	Further information
`lang`	Remembers your language preference.
`region_code`	Saves your selected country/region to show relevant options.
`theme_mode`	Stores your light/dark mode preference.
`firstVisitLogin`	Indicates if this is the first time you logged in.
`firstVisitRoom`	Indicates if you entered a live room for the first time.

3) Performance & Analytics Cookies

These Cookies help us measure and improve the performance of the Niki Services. They allow us to understand how users use our app/site (e.g., most visited pages, features used, error diagnostics) so we can make improvements.

Performance & Analytics Cookies on the Niki Services may include:

Cookie Name	Further information
`_ga`, `_gid`, `_gat`	Google/Firebase Analytics identifiers to measure usage and performance.
`app_metrics_session`	Session-based telemetry for crash and latency diagnostics.

Where required by law, analytics Cookies are set only with your consent.

4) Advertising/Marketing Cookies (where applicable)

These Cookies may be set by us or our advertising partners to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant content or promotions on and off Niki Live. They do not store direct personal identifiers but rely on unique IDs associated with your browser or device.

Advertising/Marketing Cookies may include:

Cookie Name	Further information
`_fbp`, `fr`	Facebook technologies for ad measurement and delivery.
`_gcl_au`	Google Ads conversion tracking.

You can manage your ad choices via your device settings (see How can a user control Cookies? below) and, where available, in-app privacy controls.

5) Cookies and Technologies Used by Third Parties

In some cases, we work with third parties to provide features, analytics, social logins, or ads. These third parties may set their own Cookies or use SDKs to collect information about your activity across apps and sites. Collected data may include IP address, device identifiers, browser type, time zone, and operating system.

As Niki Live does not control third-party Cookies, please refer to the relevant third party’s policy to disable or reject their Cookies. For extensions or integrations, review the developer’s privacy policy linked on the feature detail page.

Examples of third-party Cookies/technologies that may appear on the Niki Services include:

Cookie/Key Name	Further information
`_ga`, `_gid`	Google/Firebase Analytics usage metrics.
`_fbp`, `fr`	Facebook technologies for login/ads measurement.
`tw_oauth_token_secret`	Twitter/X login token.
`vk_app_XXXXXXX`	VK login integration token.

The exact third-party list may vary by region, platform, and feature set.

How can a user control Cookies?

You have several options to control or limit how Cookies are used:

Browser settings (web): Most browsers let you refuse, disable, or delete Cookies. Each browser is different, so consult its help menu for instructions. Some site features may not function properly if you disable Cookies.
In-app/privacy settings (where available): You may manage certain preferences (e.g., analytics/marketing toggles) in your account or privacy settings.
Mobile device settings (ads):

iOS: Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking (and Ads)
Android: Settings → Google → Ads (or device “Privacy/Ads” settings)
Use “Limit Ad Tracking” / “Opt out of Ads Personalization” where available.

Third-party opt-outs: Use the third party’s tools to opt out (e.g., Google’s Ads Settings, Facebook’s Ad Preferences). Opt-outs are device/browser specific and may require repeating the process on each device and browser.

If you refuse, disable, or delete certain Cookies, some functionality of the Niki Services may no longer be available or may not work as intended.

Cookie retention

Some Cookies are session Cookies (deleted when you close your app/browser); others are persistent Cookies (stored for a defined period). Retention periods vary by Cookie purpose and provider and are subject to change as we improve the Niki Services.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Material changes will be highlighted by updating the “Last updated” date above and, where appropriate, by additional notice in the app or on our website.
