Tinder places first-party cookies; its partners and service providers place third-party cookies on your device
First-party cookies are placed directly by Tinder; for example, Tinder uses them to adapt its website to your browser's language preferences and to better understand your use of its website.

The policy does not list those partners here; it says you can learn about them through Tinder's website and in-app consent management tools, and refers to the section on controlling cookies, which describes the website tool and the app's cookie preferences in account settings.
