Cookies Policy

01. Introduction

This Cookies Policy establishes the technical parameters for data storage and retrieval via browser-based technologies on the Contest Hopper platform (https://www.contesthopper.com). By utilizing our services, you acknowledge the deployment of these architectural tokens.

02. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are structured text files stored locally on your terminal. They serve as persistent or transient identifiers that enable site optimization and session integrity.

• SESSION_TOKENS: Temporary identifiers that expire upon terminal disconnect.
• PERSISTENT_TOKENS: Long-term identifiers stored until manual purge or system expiry.

03. How We Use Cookies

Architectural categorization of deployed technologies:

• CRITICAL_INFRA: Necessary for core authentication, security protocols, and session state.
• ANALYTICS_DATA: Aggregated usage telemetry provided by Google Analytics and Plausible.
• PREFERENCE_STATE: Local storage of theme preferences, filter parameters, and viewport settings.

04. Managing Cookies

Terminal users maintain full control over local storage parameters. Configuration can be modified via browser security settings to block all tokens or initiate a complete purge.

ALERT: Restricting critical infra tokens may result in degraded performance or complete functional failure of the authentication layer.

05. Third-Party Services

We interface with external telemetry providers (Google, Plausible, Cloudflare). These systems may deploy independent cookies to monitor network health and traffic flow. No Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is captured via these secondary tokens.
