This policy covers how TikTok and its partners use cookies across TikTok’s apps, websites, software and services
The Cookies Policy explains how TikTok and its partners use cookies and similar technologies. It applies to TikTok’s apps, websites, software and related services, which the policy together calls the “Platform”. It also covers your choices to control cookies. The policy text does not name a region or carve out any country; that silence alone does not show whether other TikTok documents vary these rules by region.
