Read real user stories
We share some stories from users who are using the app. Have you used CRQL? Then share your story!
Liam, 32
"I was always looking for a way to make new friends, especially in my city. At first, I thought it would be just another dating app, but I was pleasantly surprised. I organized a board game event and was able to meet interesting people whom I now meet regularly. It’s a wonderful way to spend time and build friendships, rather than just chatting with strangers."
Oliver, 25
"I had no friends in the new city I moved to for work, and I really missed socializing. The service helped me find an evening esports event, and it was a great solution. I met several guys, and now we not only watch matches together but also spend time together. The app is simple and convenient, and I will definitely continue using it!"
Elijah, 28
"I travel often and look for various events where I could spend time with new people. This app has been a real find! I recently joined a photo session organized by a user. I met wonderful people, and it inspired me for further travels and photo projects. I highly recommend it!"
Emma, 30
"I always thought that making friends in adulthood is challenging, but this app has taken it to a new level! I created an event for creative meetings - a night of art - and it was wonderful. While getting to know new people, we discussed ideas, shared experiences, and even launched a joint project. Now I have many new acquaintances with whom I continue to communicate."
Olivia, 27
"I was drawn to the app because of the opportunity to discuss interesting topics. I was looking for a group to talk about literature, and I found a fantastic reading event. It was a chance not only to talk about my favorite authors but also to meet people with similar interests. It’s great that there’s a focus on communication rather than just entertainment events."
Sophia, 22
"I just moved to a new city for my studies and didn't know how to make new friends. This app really saved me! I joined a dance event, and it was a great experience. o many people showed up, and I felt I had support and new connections. Now I even created my own event for group meetings."

This Cookie Policy explains how GRAMERCY CRQL INC ("CRQL," "Company," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website and landing page (https://crqlapp.com). This Cookie Policy is incorporated by reference into our Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions. By continuing to use our website, you acknowledge this Cookie Policy.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognize your device, remember your preferences, and collect information about how you interact with the site. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, pixels, and device identifiers used in mobile applications.
2. Cookies on Our Website vs. Application
It is important to distinguish between two parts of the CRQL service:
Website / Landing Page (https://crqlapp.com) — our publicly accessible website. Standard browser cookies may be set here depending on your browser and any third-party scripts loaded on the page. At the time of this Policy, our landing page does not load any third-party advertising or analytics scripts. Strictly necessary cookies may be set by your browser or hosting infrastructure.
CRQL Mobile Application — the iOS and Android application. The Application uses Firebase (Google) for phone-based authentication and backend infrastructure. Firebase operates through SDKs and device identifiers within the Application, not through browser cookies. Firebase does not set cookies on our website.
See Privacy Policy, Section 9, for the full list of third-party service providers and their privacy policies.
3. Types of Cookies We Use

Stripe — Application Only
Stripe is integrated into the Application for payment infrastructure. Stripe does not set cookies on our website at this time. Stripe Privacy Policy: stripe.com/us/privacy.
Future Third-Party Integrations
We may in future add Google Analytics, advertising pixels, or other third-party scripts to our website. We will update this Cookie Policy and, where required, obtain your consent before doing so.
5. Your Choices
Browser Settings
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to: view and delete existing cookies; block all cookies; block third-party cookies only; receive a notification before a cookie is set. Note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may affect the functionality of our website. Browser-specific guidance:

If you are located in the European Union or United Kingdom, the following applies:
Strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent under the EU ePrivacy Directive or UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and will be set automatically.
Non-essential cookies (analytics, advertising, functional) require your prior consent before being set. We will present a consent banner before loading any such technologies on our website. You may withdraw consent at any time by adjusting your cookie preferences through the banner or by clearing cookies in your browser.
As of the Effective Date of this Policy, our landing page does not use non-essential cookies. A consent banner is displayed as a precautionary measure and will become functionally mandatory when analytics or advertising scripts are added.
