Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (for example, your phone, tablet or computer) when you visit a website or use a web application. They allow the website or application to recognise your device, remember your preferences and understand how you interact with the service.

In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies such as local storage, session storage or pixels. For simplicity, this policy refers to all of these as "cookies" unless otherwise specified.

2. Who Is Responsible?

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We group the cookies and similar technologies we use into the following categories:

• Strictly necessary cookies – These are required for the basic functioning and security of the Service (for example, to keep you logged in or to route traffic correctly). They cannot be switched off in our systems.
• Functional or preference cookies – These help us remember your choices, such as language, interface preferences or previously selected options, so that the experience feels consistent and convenient.
• Analytics cookies – These help us understand how visitors use the Service (for example, which pages are visited, how long sessions last and which features are used) so that we can improve performance, reliability and product design.
• Marketing or performance cookies – Where used, these support measuring the effectiveness of our marketing and may help us understand how people discover and engage with our website and campaigns. We do not use them to sell your data.

4. Cookies Used in the Service

The exact cookies and technologies we use may evolve over time as we develop the product, but they typically include:

• Session and authentication cookies to help us recognise you as a logged-in user, securely maintain your session and route you to the correct event or game.
• Security-related cookies to protect the Service against malicious activity, such as attempts to abuse forms or guess join codes.
• Preference storage (for example, local storage) to remember your language, theme or similar UI settings, so that you do not have to configure them every time.
• Analytics tools (for example, product analytics services like PostHog or similar) which set cookies or use similar identifiers to generate pseudonymous statistics about how the Service is used.

Where reasonably possible, analytics data is aggregated or pseudonymised and is not used to identify individual guests at your event.

5. Legal Basis and Consent (GDPR / ePrivacy)

Under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the ePrivacy rules, we rely on different legal bases depending on the type of cookie:

• Strictly necessary cookies are used based on our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) and/or the need to perform our contract with you (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR), as they are required for the Service to function.
• Analytics, functional and marketing cookies are typically used based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) where this is required by law.

Where we present you with cookie choices (for example, through a banner or settings page), you can accept or reject non-essential cookies and change your preferences at any time.

6. Managing and Deleting Cookies

You have several options to control or limit how cookies are used on your device:

• Adjust your browser settings to block or delete cookies, or to notify you before a cookie is stored.
• Use in-product cookie or privacy settings (where available) to opt out of certain categories such as analytics or marketing.
• Use third-party tools or plugins that provide additional control over tracking technologies.

If you block or delete cookies that are necessary for the operation of the Service, parts of the website or product may not function correctly (for example, you may not be able to stay logged in or join a game).

7. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies or similar technologies may be set by third parties when you use the Service. This can happen, for example, when:

• We use analytics or product improvement tools from external providers.
• You follow links from our website to third-party sites or payment providers handling your purchase.
• Embedded content (such as videos or widgets) from other platforms is displayed within the Service.

These third parties have their own cookie and privacy policies, which we encourage you to review. We do not control how they use their cookies once they are set.

8. Storage Duration

Some cookies are stored only for the duration of your session and are deleted when you close your browser ("session cookies"). Others remain on your device for a longer period and are automatically deleted after their expiry date or when you delete them manually ("persistent cookies").

The exact duration depends on the specific cookie and its purpose. In general, we aim to keep retention periods as short as reasonably possible for analytics and preference data. More details about how long we keep personal data are provided in our Privacy Policy.

9. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, for example to reflect changes in the cookies we use, in legal requirements or in our Service. When we make material changes, we will take reasonable steps to inform you, such as updating the "Last updated" information and, where appropriate, showing a notice on our website or in the product.
