Cookie Policy

This cookie policy explains how Ludus uses cookies and similar browser storage technologies when you visit our site. We are committed to transparency and minimal data collection, consistent with our philosophy of competitive play without unnecessary noise.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser. They allow websites to remember information about your visit, such as your preferences or login status. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and other browser-based data storage mechanisms.

Cookies We Use

Ludus uses browser storage minimally and only for essential purposes:

• Cookie Banner Preference: When you interact with our cookie consent banner, we store your choice in your browser's local storage. This allows us to remember whether you have accepted or declined optional analytics, so we do not repeatedly display the banner on subsequent visits.

This storage does not require your consent under UK and EU cookie law, as it is strictly necessary to remember your stated preference.

Optional Analytics

If you consent, we may use basic, privacy-respecting analytics to understand how visitors use our site. This helps us improve content quality and user experience. Any analytics service we employ is configured to:

• Anonymise IP addresses
• Avoid tracking individual users across the web
• Respect Do Not Track browser signals
• Retain data only as long as necessary

You can withdraw consent for analytics at any time by adjusting your cookie preferences or clearing your browser storage.

What We Do Not Use

Ludus does not use:

• Advertising or retargeting cookies
• Third-party tracking pixels
• Payment or account authentication cookies (we do not operate user accounts)
• Gambling or betting-related cookies (we are an informational gaming hub, not a gambling platform)

How to Control Cookies

You have full control over cookies and browser storage on your device:

• Change Your Preference: Use our cookie consent banner to update your choices at any time.
• Clear Browser Storage: You can delete all cookies and local storage through your browser settings. Instructions vary by browser:
  • Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Clear Browsing Data
  • Firefox: Preferences → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
  • Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
  • Edge: Settings → Privacy, Search, and Services → Clear Browsing Data
• Disable Cookies: Most browsers allow you to disable cookies entirely, though this may affect site functionality.

Third-Party Services

Ludus does not intentionally embed third-party services that set their own cookies. If we do use any external service in the future (such as a content delivery network or analytics platform), we will update this policy and ensure such services comply with our privacy standards.

Legal Basis

We operate under the legal framework of the United Kingdom and comply with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and UK data protection law. Strictly necessary cookies (such as your preference storage) do not require consent. Optional cookies (such as analytics) require your explicit consent before we set them.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this cookie policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Significant changes will be noted with an updated date.
