Cookie refers to a mechanism that supports the server (or script) to store and retrieve information on the client. By adding simple and persistent client states, it extends the client/server application based on the Web. The server sends a status information while returning the HTTP object to the client, and the client saves it. The status information specifies the URL range that is valid under this state. After that, the HTTP request initiated by the client within this range will return the current value of the status information from the client to the server. This status information is called a Cookie.

The use of personal information from sources other than the specific natural person, such as the data of the group to which he belongs, to form the characteristic model of the natural person is called an indirect user portrait.

De-identification refers to the process of processing personal information so that it cannot identify specific natural persons without the help of additional information.

Affiliated companies refers to Beijing Miuke Technology Co., Ltd., the operator of Butter Camera, and other companies that have an affiliated relationship with it, referred to individually or collectively. "Affiliated relationship" means that for any subject (including individuals, companies, partnerships, organizations, or any other entities), it is the subject directly or indirectly controlled by it, or the subject directly or indirectly controlling it, or the subject directly or indirectly controlled by the same subject as it. The aforementioned "control" refers to the power to directly or indirectly direct or instruct the management and decision-making of the relevant subject through the holding of voting rights, contracts, or other means, or other relationships that actually constitute actual control.
