A few minutes of browser housekeeping if you want to make sure Chatzyo (or any site) can't reach your camera and microphone without asking again, and to clear any locally stored site data. None of this affects anything on our end — Chatzyo doesn't keep an identity tied to your cookies in the first place — but it's a reasonable thing to do for your own browser hygiene.
The honest reason is simpler than it might sound: once you've granted a site camera or microphone access, most browsers remember that choice so they don't ask every single time. That's convenient, but it also means the permission sits there until you revoke it. Clearing it just resets things back to "ask me first" — nothing more dramatic than that.
Clearing cookies and site data is a separate, unrelated action — it removes things like your saved cookie-consent choice and any locally cached preferences. It doesn't reset anything about how Chatzyo matches you with someone, since there's no persistent identity token tied to your browser that a match depends on. Each session is just a fresh connection.
This works the same way across Chrome, Edge, and most Chromium-based browsers, with only minor wording differences:
Look for a small lock, or an "i" in a circle, just to the left of chatzyo.in in your address bar.
Click through to "Site settings" or "Permissions for this site."
Find those two permissions specifically and either reset them or set them to "Ask" instead of "Allow."
The same settings panel usually has an option to clear cookies and other site data for just this one site, rather than your whole browser.
Reload chatzyo.in to confirm — it should prompt you for camera and mic access again the next time you try to use video.
Mobile browsers tend to manage this at the system level rather than per-site, though the exact steps vary slightly by browser and OS version:
Settings → Safari → scroll to Settings for Websites → Camera / Microphone, and set the permission for chatzyo.in to "Ask" or "Deny."
Tap the three-dot menu → Settings → Site Settings → All Sites → find chatzyo.in → tap it, then choose to clear or reset permissions.
If you don't see chatzyo.in listed at all, that generally means you haven't granted it permission yet, or it's already been cleared — there's nothing further to do in that case.
The general idea is the same across browsers, but the exact menu names differ enough to be worth spelling out separately:
Click the lock icon in the address bar, then "Clear cookies and site data" if you want to reset everything for the site, or click the permission icons directly to change Camera and Microphone individually.
Safari menu → Settings → Websites tab → select Camera or Microphone from the left sidebar, find chatzyo.in in the list, and change it to "Ask" or remove it from the list entirely.
It's worth being clear about the distinction, since they get lumped together but do different jobs. Camera and microphone permissions control whether a site can access your hardware at all. Cookies and site data are just small bits of information your browser holds locally — in Chatzyo's case, mainly your saved cookie-consent choice and age confirmation, nothing tied to a conversation or identity. Clearing one doesn't automatically clear the other, so if you want a complete reset, both steps above are worth doing, not just one.
