InstaCoquines Introduction

InstaCoquines is a new French dating site, designed specifically for those looking for naughty online escapades. It’s a great dating site for sex chatting and hookups, with quite the modern looking interface and easy to navigate design.

Their traffic is predominantly male with a 63% to 37% male-female ratio. It’s most popular with individuals in the 25-34 age range which means you can find lots of young and attractive people looking to have a spicy night!

Despite the fact that the site is purely targeting French individuals, we were also able to find a few profiles in the UK, as well as in the US. So, even if you are not necessarily looking for a French beauty, you can still have a nice browsing session over the profiles.

Registration Process Of InstaCoquines

If you hate long-winded and time-consuming sign up processes, you will love creating an account with InstaConquines.com. Their registration process covers all the general bases all dating sites ask for, but for any further information, everything is left to your own account page, and you can choose which and when you can fill up each field. No pressure at all!

Their registration form urges you to create a username and password, but it also asks you for an email address, date of birth, location, as well as your gender and the gender you are interested in. Their gender options are not the most extensive, but they do go a bit further from the regular “man” - “woman” we see in lots of dating sites.

Along with the aforementioned two, you are also able to sign up as a couple with your partner in case you might be looking to couple swap or even find a third, while you can also sign up as “transgender”. At this point in time, there is no distinction between trans men and women when or even after your account has been set up.

Insta Coquines Features

Speed Date

If you’ve ever had a Tinder account, you have a general idea on what this feature is like. You are presented with a number of prospective matches and you either “Like” them or press the “x” button to reject them. If the other person comes across your account on the “Speed Date” features and you both end up “Liking” each other, then you have a match!

You are only able to view their profile image (if they have uploaded one), their age, country and location. So, if you’re shallow and unapologetic, this feature will bring your inner superficial side to the surface.

Profile “Like”

When you visit the profile page of a user, just above their username, you can see a “thumbs up” icon titled “Like user”. No, this won’t add the profile in some sort of list, and while it looks similar to the “Speed Date” icon, no it does not count as “swiping right” to her.

As far as we could tell, when you click the “thumbs up” button, an email is forwarded to the owner of the account, informing them that someone has shown interest in them. This is a great way to let the other person know they’ve captured your attention without racking your brain trying to figure out what to say on that first message.

Profile Indicators

All profiles on InstaCoquines have either a green or grey dot on the top left side of their preview indicating whether they are online or offline respectively. However, these are not the only indicators we came across while scrolling through their “Browse” area.

Some profiles have colourful circles around their profile image indicating they “Promoted” their account. This means they did their due diligence so they are the first faces you come across when you visit the “Browse” area. Additionally, some girls have a shaded rectangle under their profile preview indicating that they are “New” to the site.

Prices & Costs Of Insta Coquines

You are able to “Promote” your own account and be the first profile your gender of interest sees on the site by visiting “My Profile” and clicking on “Promote”. The promotion lasts for 24 hours upon purchase of the offer for the low low price of €1.69. While we are not really sure what “Flirts” are, they claim that you are able to get up to ten times more profile views as well as incoming messages.

Aside from their “Promote” offer, in order to send messages on InstaCoquines you will have to purchase coins to keep the conversation going. While having to purchase coins every time you run out sounds daunting, at least we didn’t have to deal with any renewals.

You can find below the prices for each coin package:

€9.99 for 200 coins

€19.99 for 300 coins

€49.99 for 900 coins

€99.99 for 2,000 coins

€199.99 for 6,000 coins

As far as payment options are concerned, we noticed that Insta Coquines offers only two. You are able to purchase the coin package of your choice with either Visa or Mastercard.

Security

Chat Records & Sensitive Data

Going through their Privacy & Cookies page, paragraph 4 titled “THE DATA WE COLLECT ABOUT YOU” we found that aside from regular information kept for security purposes, the site also collects and keeps your chat interactions with other users of the site. While we can kind of understand why they might need to keep track of your behaviour on the site (especially if you got blocked one too many times), they do not really clarify who has access to these chat records.

Additionally, they are also upfront about the fact that they collect all the information you have disclosed on your account. This could also mean that aside from the information you have made public through your profile on InstaCoquines, more sensitive personal information could be getting stored up. As they clarify in the same section, it can be anything from “race, ethnicity, philosophical beliefs, health data and other details of a more sensitive nature”.

Security Precautions

Their team at its core seems to be trying its best to keep you safe on their platform, most specifically, in paragraph 7 they state that they “perform regular vulnerability scans” to keep the site safe but also to avoid any potential breaches to their servers. While this does give us some peace of mind, they do also say that they can’t really guarantee protection from unauthorised third parties on the site.

At the end of the day, something always slips through the cracks so we can’t really hold it against them. They also made sure to clarify that once they are made aware of any such activity they take immediate action, and that’s all we really want to hear.

System Profiles

We also found a few interesting things in their Terms and Conditions, specifically in paragraph 10 titled “PROFILES AND INTERACTIONS WITH OTHER USERS” where they explicitly state that their company operates “System Profiles”. As clarified in the same section, these profiles are operated by contractors who impersonate the people portrayed on them.

Furthermore, they mention that they hold the right to use these “System Profiles” to enhance the entertainment experience of the user on the site. So, if you’re looking to meet up with someone, you might just get misled. Of course, they mention that it’s strictly prohibited to have physical contact with said contractors. This makes the site perfect for anyone looking to have a hot sex chatting session with a stranger online, but dodgy for those looking to actually hookup with someone.

Conclusion

InstaCoquines.com is one of the cleaner-looking dating sites we have reviewed. With incentives for free coins, letting you give the site a shot before you go ahead and purchase their coins, it made it easier for us to make up our minds for sure.

We would advise on staying sharp for any system profiles if sex chatting is not exactly what you are looking for. On the other hand, if you want to flirt without bounds and even exchange some naughty photos with a mysterious stranger online, InstaCoquines could be your virtual paradise.
