🍪 What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit websites.
They help websites:
- Function correctly
- Remember your settings and preferences
- Collect anonymous statistics about usage and performance
Some cookies are strictly necessary for the site to work, while others are optional and used only with your consent (for example, analytics).
🎯 Why Do We Use Them?
On wallforball.com, we use cookies for:
- ✅ Login and session management where applicable
- 🌐 Language and interface preferences
- 🎨 Light/dark color theme preferences
- 🔐 Security and fraud prevention
- 📊 Privacy-friendly analytics and performance monitoring (Umami Analytics, when enabled)
We do not use cookies to sell your personal data.
📁 Cookie Categories
We group cookies into the following categories:
- 🔧 Essential cookies – required for the site to function and to remember your basic choices (cannot be switched off).
- 📈 Analytics cookies – help us understand how visitors use the site (only used with consent or in a configuration that respects local regulations and anonymisation).
- 📢 Marketing cookies – used for advertising and tracking across sites (currently not used on wallforball.com).
🔧 Essential Cookies
These cookies are required for the website to operate and to remember your basic choices. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences.
| Cookie | Purpose | Typical Expiry |
|---|---|---|
cc_cookie | Stores your cookie consent, selected categories, language, and timestamps. | ~6 months |
color-mode-ui | Remembers your preferred color theme (for example, light or dark mode) across visits. | ~1 year |
i18n_redirected | Remembers the language you chose so you are not redirected on every visit. | ~1 year |
Without these cookies, the site may not remember your choices, and some features may not function correctly.
📈 Analytics Cookies
When enabled, we use Umami Analytics (self-hosted, privacy-friendly analytics) to understand how visitors use the Website and to improve content and performance.
Umami is designed to be privacy-friendly:
- It does not use third-party cookies.
- It does not create cross-site tracking profiles.
- Data is aggregated and focused on trends (for example, page views, referrers, devices), not individual identities.
Depending on the configuration, analytics may:
- Be collected only with your consent via the cookie banner, or
- Be anonymised and collected in a way that complies with local regulations (for example, IP anonymisation, short retention periods).
| Cookie / Storage | Purpose | Typical Expiry |
|---|---|---|
umami_* or similar (when cookies are used) | Stores anonymous information about visits (for example, which pages are viewed and from which referrer), without identifying individual users. | Varies by configuration, typically short-lived |
If Umami is not active, these analytics cookies or storage entries are not set.
📢 Marketing Cookies
We currently do not use marketing or advertising cookies on wallforball.com.
If we add marketing or remarketing tools in the future (for example, social media pixels or ad networks), those cookies will only be set with your consent and this Cookie Policy will be updated to describe them.
