We keep cookies and similar storage to the bare minimum. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies at all — which is why you will not see a pop-up asking you to consent to trackers we never set.
Sign-in token: keeps you securely logged in after you use your magic link.
App state: remembers your place in the judging flow and your assigned anonymous handle.
Security: helps protect the service against abuse. Under the UK’s PECR rules these are exempt from consent because the service cannot work without them.
If we use analytics, we use a privacy-friendly, aggregate approach that does not set advertising cookies, does not identify you, and does not track you across other sites. We only ever want to know what is useful — never who you are.
No advertising cookies. No third-party marketing trackers. No cross-site or cross-device tracking. No fingerprinting for ad targeting.
You can clear or block cookies in your browser settings at any time. Note that blocking the strictly necessary ones will stop you staying signed in.
We will update this page and the date above if our use of cookies changes.
