Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites work properly, remember preferences, improve security, understand how people use the site, and support certain features.

How We Use Cookies

CompeteMap may use cookies or similar technologies for strictly necessary functions, preferences, analytics, and, if introduced in the future, advertising.

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are needed for the website to function. They may support security, authentication, page loading, form submissions, subscription flows, account features, or cookie preference management.

These cookies cannot usually be switched off because the site needs them to work.

Preference Cookies

These cookies may remember choices you make, such as display preferences, language settings, or cookie settings, where those features are available.

Analytics Cookies

If enabled, analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use CompeteMap. For example, they may show which pages are visited most often, how users move around the website, or whether users encounter errors.

We use this information to improve the website, content, navigation, and user experience.

Analytics cookies are not essential to the basic operation of the site. Where required by law, we will ask for consent before using analytics cookies.

Marketing and Advertising Cookies

CompeteMap does not currently use advertising cookies. If we introduce advertising services such as Google AdSense in the future, those services may use cookies or similar technologies to show ads, measure ad performance, limit repeated ads, prevent fraud and abuse, and, where permitted, personalise advertising.

Marketing and advertising cookies are not essential to the basic operation of the site. Where required by law, we will ask for consent before using non-essential advertising cookies.

Third-Party Cookies

Some third-party services used by the website may set cookies or similar technologies. These may include services for hosting, authentication, analytics, email subscription management, security, advertising, or embedded content.

We aim to use third-party services carefully and only where they support the operation, security, improvement, or funding of CompeteMap.

Managing Cookies

You can manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block, delete, or limit cookies. Please note that blocking some cookies may affect how the website works.

Where CompeteMap uses non-essential cookies and consent is required, we will provide a way to manage your preferences before those cookies are used, where required by law.

You can also manage advertising personalisation through the settings provided by relevant advertising platforms, such as Google's advertising settings.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy if our use of cookies changes. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date above.
