Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files placed on the User's device that assist the Owner in providing the Service according to the purposes described. This Website also stores a few preferences in the browser's local storage; these work like cookies but never leave the device.

Activities strictly necessary for the operation of this Website and delivery of the Service

This Website uses Cookies or other Identifiers to carry out activities that are strictly necessary for the operation or delivery of the Service and, therefore, do not require Users to consent. Users can disable such Identifiers by modifying their browser or device settings as described in more detail within this document, but this may affect core operational functions or result in the unavailability of the Service.

This Website uses only the following, all of which are strictly necessary or user-preference identifiers:

  • refreshToken — the session/authentication cookie that keeps the User logged in. Type: first-party Cookie. Duration: about 120 days (sliding, extended by activity). Flags: HttpOnly, Secure, SameSite=Lax.
  • token — a short-lived forum SSO cookie used to log the User transparently into the Boardgamers community forum. Type: first-party Cookie. Duration: about 1 hour. Flags: HttpOnly, SameSite=Lax.
  • theme / dark-mode preference — remembers the User's light/dark theme choice. Type: browser local storage (not a Cookie); it is never sent to the server.
  • Other user-interface preferences (for example which panels are shown) are stored in browser local storage and are never sent to the server.

This Website does not use any third-party advertising, analytics or tracking Cookies, and does not use Cookies for profiling or marketing. No Cookie banner is shown because only strictly-necessary and user-preference identifiers are used.

How to provide or withdraw consent

Since this Website only uses Cookies and Identifiers that are strictly necessary for the Service or that store the User's own preferences, no consent is required. Users can still block or delete Cookies at any time through their own browser or device settings.

Users can, for example, find information about how to manage Cookies in the most commonly used browsers at the following addresses: Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari and Microsoft Edge.
