1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies are, how MatchPartuClub ("we", "us", "our") uses them on our website at matchpartuclub.com (the "Site"), and what choices you have regarding their use. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
By continuing to browse or use our Site, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, enhance user experience, and provide reporting information to website owners.
Cookies can be "session cookies" (which are deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them). Cookies can also be "first-party cookies" (set by the website you are visiting) or "third-party cookies" (set by a different domain).
3. How We Use Cookies and Similar Technologies
Our Site uses minimal cookie and local storage technologies. We are committed to respecting your privacy and only use cookies that are necessary for the proper functioning of the Site or to remember your preferences.
3.1 localStorage for Cookie Consent
We use your browser's localStorage to store your cookie consent preference. When you interact with our cookie consent banner (by clicking "Accept All" or "Decline"), your choice is saved locally in your browser. This data:
- Is stored entirely on your device
- Is not transmitted to our servers
- Persists until you manually clear your browser's local storage
- Contains only a simple key-value pair recording whether you accepted or declined cookies
4. Types of Cookies We Use
The following table describes the types of cookies and similar technologies used on our Site:
| Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary (Essential) | These are required for the Site to function properly. This includes localStorage used to remember your cookie consent preference. These cannot be disabled as the Site cannot function properly without them. | Persistent (until cleared by user) |
| Functional | These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalisation, such as remembering your preferences (e.g., language, region) when you return to the Site. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. | Persistent (varies) |
We do not currently use analytics, advertising, or tracking cookies. Should this change in the future, we will update this Cookie Policy accordingly and request your consent before deploying any such cookies.
5. Third-Party Cookies
Our Site may contain links to third-party websites, such as app stores, game developer sites, or social media platforms. These third-party sites may set their own cookies when you click on external links and leave our Site. We have no control over these cookies and are not responsible for the cookie practices of third-party websites.
We recommend reviewing the cookie and privacy policies of any third-party website you visit. As of the last update of this policy, we do not embed any third-party services (such as analytics tools, advertising networks, or social media widgets) that would place third-party cookies on your device while you browse our Site.
If we integrate third-party services in the future, we will:
- Update this Cookie Policy to list all third-party cookies
- Ensure your explicit consent is obtained before any non-essential third-party cookies are set
- Provide clear information about each third-party service and its purpose
6. How to Manage Cookies
You have several options for managing cookies and local storage on our Site:
6.1 Cookie Consent Banner
When you first visit our Site, a cookie consent banner will appear at the bottom of the page. You can choose to:
- Accept All: Consent to the use of all cookies described in this policy.
- Decline: Decline non-essential cookies. Only strictly necessary technologies (such as the localStorage consent preference) will be used.
6.2 Browser Settings
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically:
- View what cookies are stored on your device
- Delete individual cookies or all cookies
- Block cookies from specific sites or all sites

6.3 Clearing Local Storage
To reset your cookie consent preference stored in localStorage, you can:

After clearing local storage, the cookie consent banner will appear again on your next visit, allowing you to make a new choice.
6.4 Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that sends a signal to websites requesting that your browsing activity not be tracked. As we do not currently use tracking cookies, our Site's behaviour does not change in response to DNT signals.
7. GDPR Compliance
We are committed to complying with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the ePrivacy Directive regarding the use of cookies and similar technologies. In accordance with these regulations:
- Consent: We obtain your explicit consent before placing any non-essential cookies on your device. Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent under GDPR, but we inform you about them transparently.
- Transparency: This Cookie Policy provides clear and comprehensive information about the cookies we use, their purposes, and their duration.
- Right to Withdraw Consent: You can withdraw your cookie consent at any time by clearing your browser's local storage or adjusting your browser settings. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.
- Data Minimisation: We only use cookies and similar technologies that are necessary for the operation of the Site or that serve a legitimate purpose, in line with the principle of data minimisation.
- No Profiling: We do not use cookies or similar technologies for automated decision-making or profiling.
