Cookie Policy
Celebut Limited, including its subsidiaries and corporate affiliates ("Celebut", "we", "us", or "our"), uses cookies, web beacons, tracking pixels, and similar technologies (collectively, "Cookies") across our global social media platform, websites, mobile applications, and interactive creator economy tools (collectively, the "Services").
This Cookie Policy explains what Cookies are, how we use them, and the choices you have to manage your privacy settings. This policy should be read alongside our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files downloaded to your browser or hardware device when you visit or interact with our Services. They allow a platform to safely recognize a specific browser or device, remember settings over time, and authenticate user sessions.
- First-Party Cookies: Placed directly by Celebut to ensure platform functionality and security.
- Third-Party Cookies: Placed by our authorized third-party service providers (such as regulated payment processors and infrastructure diagnostic partners) to execute specific localized micro-services.
- Session Cookies: Temporary files that expire and automatically delete when you close your browser or mobile application.
- Persistent Cookies: Files that remain stored on your device for a designated period (unless deleted manually) to remember your login status or platform preferences across separate sessions.

2. How Celebut Uses Cookies
We do not use tracking or advertising cookies to build stealth marketing profiles. Celebut deploys Cookies under clear legal bases to serve specific technical, operational, and performance needs:
2.1 Essential & Strictly Necessary Cookies
These Cookies are structurally mandatory to operate the platform and deliver our core Services. Without these, the app or website cannot function properly.
- Session Authentication: Safely identifying your active user profile when you log in.
- Account Balance Security: Ensuring secure ledger updates when interacting with your Celebut Account Balance.
- Fraud Prevention: Preventing identity theft, securing multi-factor authentication (MFA) parameters, and verifying session integrity during high-risk activities, such as identity-matched banking withdrawals.
2.2 Performance & Diagnostic Cookies
These Cookies collect data regarding how users interface with our software to help us optimize the creator economy architecture.
- Telemetry Collection: Measuring software load speeds, crash frequency, and platform error rates.
- Functional Performance: Optimizing server data-routing pathways across our global cloud hosting networks.
2.3 Functional Preferences Cookies
These Cookies remember choices you make to personalize your user experience.
- User Customization: Saving your language preferences and custom profile display parameters.
- Milestone Event Settings: Honoring the specific, personalized celebration guidelines and privacy filters you establish for your profile events.

4. Your Cookie Choices and Privacy Settings
You have absolute control over how your browser or mobile device processes non-essential Cookies.
4.1 Built-in Platform Settings
Within the application preference center or website footer, you can access the Celebut Cookie Settings Banner to explicitly toggle your consent parameters for performance, diagnostics, and functional preferences cookies. Essential security cookies cannot be disabled, as the platform cannot safely authenticate sessions without them.
4.2 Browser Infrastructure Settings
Most modern web browsers allow you to block or delete cookies entirely through their global system preferences. To adjust settings on your respective web browser, follow the developer guidelines linked below:
- Google Chrome
- Apple Safari
- Mozilla Firefox
- Microsoft Edge
4.3 Mobile Device Telemetry Controls
When using the Celebut mobile application, your operating system (iOS or Android) allows you to restrict application tracking, telemetry permissions, or device ID sharing directly within your phone's privacy configuration panel.
- Important Notice: If you choose to entirely disable, purge, or block all Cookies on your browser or device, specific sections of our creator economy features, payment processing links, and account authentication systems may fail to function correctly or reject transaction processing for security reasons.
5. Regulatory Alignment
This Policy incorporates the transparent notification mandates enforced by global data protection frameworks, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (EU/UK), the Nigeria Data Protection Act (NDPA) via the Data Protection Commission (NDPC), and associated regional privacy laws governing cookies and electronic communications trackers.
6. Updates to this Cookie Policy
Celebut reserves the right to modify or adjust this Cookie Policy at any time to reflect operational modifications, software enhancements, or regulatory adjustments. When updates are executed, the "Effective Date" at the top of this policy will change dynamically. If we implement adjustments that materially change how we process tracking data, we will provide a prominent notice across our Services.
