Cookie Policy

What counts as a cookie

When we say “cookies,” we mean cookies plus similar storage or identifiers (local storage, SDK IDs, and device identifiers). We treat them all the same way for consent and transparency.

Essential cookies

Required for login, session security, and keeping you connected to matches. These cannot be turned off.

Performance & analytics

Used to understand crashes, network performance, and feature usage. They help us improve stability and matchmaking quality.

Preferences

Optional cookies remember language, accessibility settings, and client tweaks so the lobby feels like home every time you sign in.

Marketing & personalization

When enabled, these cookies help us measure campaign performance and personalize content. We only use them with your opt-in.

Industry-standard consent method (2026)

We use a consent banner and preference center with granular choices. Non-essential categories are opt-in by default, the Accept and Reject buttons are presented with equal weight, and you can change or withdraw consent at any time. We honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals where supported.

Retention & partners

Cookie lifetimes vary by purpose. Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies are retained only as long as needed for the stated purpose and are refreshed when you re-consent or update settings. We review third-party partners regularly and only enable them after you opt in.

Your control

• Adjust cookie settings in your browser to block or delete non-essential cookies.
• Manage categories in the Cookie Preferences panel or Account Settings.
• Use “Reset to essentials” to withdraw optional consent at any time.
• Use privacy signals like Global Privacy Control where your browser supports it.
• Contact us at privacy@doodle5.com with any cookie questions.
