1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files stored on your device—such as a computer, tablet, or mobile phone—when you visit a website. They are commonly used to help websites function efficiently, remember user preferences, and provide insights into how a site is used.

Cookies may be classified as:

  • First-party cookies, which are set directly by the website you are visiting;
  • Third-party cookies, which are placed by external services such as analytics providers.

They may also differ by duration:

  • Session cookies, which are temporary and removed when you close your browser;
  • Persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a specified period or until manually deleted.

In addition to cookies, similar technologies such as local storage, session storage, and tracking pixels may be used to perform comparable functions.

2. Categories of Cookies We May Use

hockeytiming.com may utilize several types of cookies, depending on functionality and operational needs:

Essential cookies
These are necessary for the core operation of the website. They may support basic navigation, security features, or load balancing. Disabling these cookies may affect how the site functions.

Preference and functionality cookies
These help remember user-selected settings, such as language preferences or previously accepted consent choices, allowing for a more consistent browsing experience.

Analytics and performance cookies
These are used to gather information about how visitors interact with the website. This may include which pages are accessed, how long users stay on the site, and whether errors occur. The data is generally aggregated and anonymized, meaning it does not directly identify individual users.

Third-party cookies
Some features or embedded elements on the website may rely on third-party services (such as analytics tools or font providers). These services may place their own cookies on your device. We do not control these cookies, and their use is governed by the respective third party’s policies.

We do not use cookies for targeted advertising, behavioral tracking across external websites, or marketing campaigns. Our focus remains on providing informational content about gaming.

Without certain cookies, some features of the website may not function as expected, and user preferences may not be retained between visits.
