Cookie Policy
Last updated: 16 July 2026
This policy describes the cookies and similar storage (localStorage) used by the playersengine.com landing page. It does not cover the product beta at beta.playersengine.com.
You can change your consent at any time via the link (also available in the footer).
Essential storage (always on)
These cannot be disabled — without them the Site can't function.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
pe_consent_v1 |
localStorage | Remembers whether you accepted or rejected analytics cookies, so we don't show the banner on every page load. | Until you clear browser storage. |
rateLimitIps/<sha256(ip)> |
Server-side Firestore record | Anti-abuse — counts submissions per IP. We hash the IP before storing it. | ~60 seconds (sliding window). |
Analytics (optional — only with your consent)
We use Google Analytics 4 to count visits and understand which sections of the Site drive signups. These cookies are only set if you click Accept All on the cookie banner. If you reject, Google Analytics still runs in cookieless mode and sends aggregated, anonymous pings only — no identifier is stored on your device.

Advertising
The Site currently shows no advertising and sets no advertising cookies. We have applied to the Google AdSense programme; if and when ads go live on the Site, Google, as a third-party vendor, may use cookies to serve and measure those ads. Under our consent configuration, advertising storage defaults to denied — ads served without your consent to advertising storage are non-personalized. See Google's advertising technologies page for details, including how to manage personalized advertising across Google services.
What we do NOT use
- No social-media advertising pixels (Meta Pixel, TikTok, etc.).
- No third-party trackers beyond Google Analytics and — once live — Google AdSense.
- No cross-site tracking of our own. No fingerprinting.
How to manage consent
- Click Cookie settings in the page footer (or ).
- Clear browser storage for
playersengine.com— the banner will reappear on next visit. - Use your browser's privacy mode to block analytics entirely.
