Cookie & Local Storage Policy
Last updated: 28 September 2026
OmegleNet doesn't use advertising or analytics cookies. We store a few small items in your browser that the service needs to work, and we use a bot-protection check. This page lists all of them.
"Cookies" here also covers similar technologies like localStorage and sessionStorage, which the law treats the same way.
1. Items OmegleNet stores on your device
All of these are strictly necessary or functional items you asked for, so we don't need your consent for them. They're set on OmegleNet's own domain and never sent to third parties.
| Name | Type | What it's for | What it contains | How long |
|---|---|---|---|---|
omegle.deviceId | localStorage | Identifies your browser to our server without an account, so we can run your session and enforce bans | A random ID (UUID) created by your browser | Until you clear site data or use "Delete my data" |
omegle.token | localStorage | Keeps you signed in to your anonymous session | A signed session token linked to your device ID | Token expires after 7 days; removed when you clear site data |
omegle.rulesAccepted | localStorage | Remembers that you accepted the rules, so we don't ask every visit | A version marker | Until you clear site data or the rules change |
omegle.ageOk / omegle.ageOkAt | localStorage | Remembers that you confirmed you're 18 or older on this device | "1" and the date you confirmed | 30 days, then we ask again |
omegle.effects | localStorage | Remembers your camera effects (face sticker, filter, background) | Your choices | Until you clear site data |
omegle.prefs | localStorage | Remembers your chat mode (video/audio/text), interests and "strict interests" setting | Your preferences | Until you clear site data |
omegle.moderationNoticeVersion | localStorage | Remembers that you've seen the safety-snapshot notice | A version marker | Until you clear site data or the notice changes |
omegle.audioNoticeVersion | localStorage | Remembers that you've seen the notice shown before your first voice chat | A version marker | Until you clear site data or the notice changes |
Moderators using the admin console also have a sessionStorage item (omegle.adminKey) holding their session. It's deleted when the tab closes.
2. Security cookies set by Cloudflare
We use Cloudflare to protect OmegleNet from attacks. Cloudflare may set strictly necessary security cookies such as __cf_bm (bot management, 30 minutes) and cf_clearance (records that your browser passed a security challenge, up to 30 minutes). They don't track you across other websites. See Cloudflare's cookie documentation.
3. Bot protection
When you start a chat or send a report, we use Cloudflare Turnstile to check you're not a bot. Turnstile is loaded from Cloudflare's servers (challenges.cloudflare.com) and looks at your IP address and technical signals from your browser, such as its type and settings. It does not set advertising or tracking cookies and isn't used to follow you across websites. Cloudflare processes this under the Cloudflare Privacy Policy.
- Turnstile is only used while we have bot protection switched on, and it's loaded only when you press a button to start a chat or send a report, never just for visiting the site.
- Usually it runs invisibly. If Cloudflare can't tell you're human, it shows a small checkbox.
4. Things we don't use
- No advertising cookies, tracking pixels or social-media plugins.
- No analytics cookies.
- Fonts are served from our own servers, so loading a page doesn't contact Google Fonts.
5. How to control or delete these items
- Delete my data on the Privacy page removes all
omegle.*items and deletes the data on our server linked to your device. - You can also clear site data in your browser settings. If you do, you'll get a new device ID.
- If you block localStorage, OmegleNet can't create a session, and you won't be able to chat.
