Cookies Policy

1. What are Cookies and similar technologies

Cookies are small text files that are downloaded to your device (computer, smartphone, tablet) when you visit a website that allow websites to recognize your device, store preferences, and track certain types of usage and activity (hereinafter - “Cookies”).

Cookies serve various functions, including enabling secure logins, remembering user settings, facilitating Tournament operations, analysing performance and usage patterns.

Cookies can be either Session Cookies (which are temporarily stored during your session and deleted once you close your browser), or Persistent Cookies (which remain on your device for a defined period or until manually deleted).

We also use other tracking technologies that work similarly to Cookies:

• Pixel tags (web beacons) - tiny graphics embedded in pages or emails that track your interaction with content.
• Software Development Kits (hereinafter - “SDKs”) - code libraries used primarily in mobile apps that collect device-level and usage data.
• Tracking scripts or tags - snippets of code used for analytics, conversion tracking, and marketing attribution.

Together, these technologies help us ensure the Platform functions correctly, improves over time, and delivers a personalized experience to Users.

2. Types of Cookies we use

We use the following categories of Cookies and similar technologies on our Platform:

• Strictly Necessary Cookies - are essential Cookies for the operation of the Platform. They enable basic functions such as navigation, session management, account login, and fraud prevention. Without them, the Platform cannot function properly. These Cookies cannot be disabled through the cookie banner.
• Functional Cookies - are Cookies that allow the Platform to remember your preferences and settings, such as your language selection, login state across sessions, user interface customizations. These Cookies improve your experience but are not essential to the core operation of the Platform.
• Analytics and Performance Cookies - are Cookies that help us understand how Users interact with the Platform by collecting anonymous statistics such as pages visited, time spent, actions taken within Tournaments, error reports. We use this data to improve performance, detect bugs, and enhance user experience. These Cookies are used only with your prior consent.
• Marketing or Targeting Cookies (if enabled) - are Cookies that may be used to deliver personalized advertising or promotional content, and to measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. They may be set by third-party platforms (e.g., Google Ads, Meta) via embedded scripts. We currently do not actively use marketing cookies, but may implement them in the future with appropriate consent mechanisms.

Below is a table regarding the specific list of Cookies used by our Company on the Platform:

*This table may be updated periodically to reflect changes in the Cookies used on the Platform.

3. How we use Cookies

We use Cookies and similar tracking technologies to perform specific functions.

Cookies ensure that the Platform operates securely and reliably. They maintain user sessions after login, enable navigation between pages without requiring re-authentication, protect against cross-site request forgery and bot attacks, and store cookie consent preferences to avoid redundant prompts.

Functional Cookies allow us to improve user experience, because they remember your display preferences (such as language or layout), retain settings across sessions, and offer seamless interaction with Tournament features.

Analytics Cookies provide insight into how Users engage with the Platform. This includes: measuring page load speed and drop-off points; understanding which features are most used; diagnosing bugs or navigation issues; evaluating usage trends over time. This data helps us optimize Platform design, improve performance, and prioritize future updates.

Other functions are marketing and advertising (if enabled in the future). Where explicitly consented, Cookies may also be used to: deliver targeted ads on third-party websites; limit the number of times a User sees a particular ad; measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns; build anonymous audience segments for promotional outreach. We will never activate marketing Cookies without your explicit consent through the cookie settings interface.

4. Managing your Cookie preferences

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject Cookies. The Platform provides the following mechanisms to manage your cookie preferences:

• Consent management banner. Upon your first visit, a cookie banner will appear, allowing you to accept all Cookies, reject all non-essential Cookies, or customize your preferences for each category (Strictly Necessary, Functional, Analytics, Marketing). You can revisit and modify your preferences at any time by clicking the “Cookie Settings” link available at the bottom of the Platform.

• Browser settings. Most web browsers are set by default to accept Cookies. However, you can adjust your browser settings to block all Cookies or specific categories of Cookies, delete existing Cookies from your device, receive alerts before a Cookie is stored, and automatically delete Cookies when you close your browser. The exact method to control Cookies depends on the browser you use. But please note that disabling certain types of Cookies may impact the functionality or usability of the Platform.
