Cookie Policy

This page explains how TF Gaming uses cookies and similar technologies on our website and how you can control them.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit websites. They can be used for many purposes such as remembering preferences, enabling site functionality, or providing anonymised analytics about site usage.

Legal basis

Under the UK/EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and similar privacy laws, some cookies require your consent before they are placed on your device. Functional cookies that are strictly necessary for the operation of the site do not require consent. Analytics cookies require your explicit consent.

Cookies we use

The site currently uses the following cookies and storage items:

Analytics (Google Analytics)

Purpose: Collect anonymous usage statistics to improve the website (page views, navigation paths, aggregated metrics).

  • Provider: Google (Google Analytics / gtag)
  • Identifiers: Cookies such as _ga, _gid, and similar client identifiers generated by Google Analytics.
  • Legal basis: Consent — analytics enabled only after you accept via the cookie banner.
  • Retention: Controlled by Google; e.g. _ga typically persists for 2 years.

Consent preference (localStorage)

Purpose: We store your cookie preference locally so we remember whether you accepted analytics cookies.

  • Key: tf_cookie_consent_v1 (stored in localStorage).
  • Legal basis: Storing your preference is necessary to respect your choice.
  • Retention: Stored until you clear your browser storage or change your preference.

How to control cookies

When you first visit the site, a cookie banner is shown where you can accept or decline analytics cookies. Your choice is stored in localStorage under the key above. To change your choice later, clear your browser's local storage for this site or use the cookie management UI if available.

Third-party cookies

Analytics are provided by Google. Their cookies and how they use data are governed by Google’s privacy policies. We recommend reviewing Google Analytics’ documentation and privacy information for details about third-party data processing and how to opt out.

Retention and deletion

Cookies set by Google are retained according to Google’s policies. The consent preference saved in localStorage remains until you remove it from your browser.

Your rights

You have rights under data protection laws including the right to access, rectify, restrict processing, object to processing, and request deletion of personal data. If you believe we are processing your personal data unlawfully, please contact us.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The effective date will be reflected by the site updates. Please review this page periodically.
