Cookie Policy

Last updated: 3 October 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how HB Battle (“we”, “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies on hbbattle.online and the related player platform. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy. We aim to be transparent so you can decide what you are comfortable with.

What are cookies and similar technologies?

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage and pixels. They help the site remember your preferences, keep you signed in, understand how pages are used, and (only if you allow it) support analytics or advertising.

Categories of cookies we use

1. Strictly necessary cookies

These are required for the website and player platform to work. They handle security, load balancing, session management and remembering your cookie-consent choices. Without them the site or app may not function correctly. You cannot turn these off through our consent panel if you want to use the service.

2. Preference and functionality cookies

These remember choices you make (for example language or display preferences) so the experience stays consistent when you return. They are not used for advertising.

3. Analytics cookies

When you allow them, analytics cookies help us see which guides are most useful, how people navigate the site, and where we can improve. The data is used in aggregated form. Analytics cookies are only set after you give consent through the Privacy choices panel (or when the law allows them without consent).

4. Advertising and measurement cookies

If Google AdSense or other advertising partners are active on eligible pages, they may set cookies to measure how often ads are shown and clicked, and (where permitted by your choices and local law) to show ads that are more relevant to your interests. These are controlled by the partner’s own policies as well as by the consent you give us.

Google’s advertising cookies are governed by the Google Advertising policies. You can learn more about how Google uses data from partner sites here: How Google uses information from sites that use its services.

How long cookies last

Session cookies disappear when you close the browser. Persistent cookies stay for a set period (days, months or longer) or until you delete them. Exact lifetimes depend on the specific cookie and its purpose.

Your choices and how to control cookies

Use the cookie consent banner or the Privacy choices button (available in the footer and on legal pages) to accept or reject analytics and advertising cookies.
Change your browser settings to block or delete cookies. Be aware that blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop the site or player platform from working properly.
Use industry tools such as the Digital Advertising Alliance or Your Online Choices to opt out of many interest-based ads.
On mobile devices you can also limit ad tracking in your device settings.

You can reopen the Privacy choices panel at any time by clicking the link in the site footer.

Third-party cookies

Some cookies are set by third parties (Google, analytics providers, advertising networks). We do not control those cookies. Please review the privacy and cookie policies of those providers for full details. When Google AdSense is used, Google acts as an independent controller for the data it collects for advertising purposes.

Updates to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when our practices or the technologies we use change. The “Last updated” date at the top will be revised when we do. We encourage you to check this page from time to time.
