Cookie Policy

Effective date: September 7, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how HappyMod uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit or use our website, services, and related online features. It describes what cookies are, why we use them, the types of cookies that may be placed on your device, how third parties may use cookies, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.

By using HappyMod, you agree that cookies and similar technologies may be stored on your device as described in this policy, unless you disable them through your browser or device settings.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember information about your visit, such as your preferences, settings, browser type, language, and interactions with pages.

HappyMod may also use similar technologies, including:

  • Local storage, which stores data in your browser for functionality and preferences
  • Session storage, which stores temporary data while your browser session is active
  • Pixels and tags, which help measure page performance, traffic, and user interaction
  • Device identifiers, which may be used in app-based environments to support analytics, security, and advertising features

For simplicity, this policy refers to all of these technologies as “cookies.”
