Cookie Policy
A short, honest account of what we store on your device, why, and how to change your mind whenever you like.
1. What cookies and local storage are
Cookies are small text files a website places on your device. Local storage is a similar browser feature that lets a site save small pieces of information. Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), we treat both the same way: anything that is not strictly necessary is only used with your consent.
2. The categories we use
- Essential (always on): required to remember your cookie choice so we do not ask on every page. The simulator itself runs entirely in memory and needs no cookies.
- Analytics (optional): help us understand which labs are read and which arena settings are popular, in aggregated form, so we can improve the Site.
- Functional (optional): would allow us to remember preferences such as your preferred goaltender tier or ice condition between visits.
3. Storage items in detail
| Name | Type | Category | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
qwp-cookie-consent | Local storage | Essential | Records your choice (accept, reject or custom) and when you made it | Until you clear site data |
| Analytics identifiers | First-party cookie | Analytics | Distinguish visits for aggregated usage statistics | Up to 13 months |
| Arena preferences | Local storage | Functional | Remember simulator settings between visits | Until you clear site data |
Analytics and functional items are only ever set after you opt in. If you reject non-essential cookies, only qwp-cookie-consent is stored. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.
4. Changing your preferences
You can reopen the cookie banner at any time and choose again. Your new choice replaces the old one immediately.
You can also delete cookies and local storage through your browser settings. Doing so will cause the consent banner to reappear on your next visit.
