Types of Cookies We Use
Essential cookies are necessary for the platform to function properly. These include authentication cookies that keep you logged in, security cookies that protect against fraud, and functionality cookies that remember your game settings and preferences. These cookies do not require consent as they are necessary for the service you requested.
Optional cookies, which require your consent, may enhance your experience through analytics, personalization, and performance optimization. These cookies help us understand which features are popular and how we might improve the platform.
Essential Cookies
Authentication cookies maintain your login session and ensure secure access to your account. These cookies are essential for accessing your game library, match history, and account settings.
Security cookies protect against cross-site request forgery and other security threats. Functionality cookies remember your language preferences, display settings, and game configuration options.
Analytics and Performance Cookies
We use analytics cookies to understand how players interact with SableGrid, which features are most popular, and where we can improve the user experience. This data is collected in aggregate form and does not identify individual users.
Performance cookies help us monitor platform speed, identify technical issues, and optimize loading times for games and features. This ensures the best possible gaming experience for all users.
Personalization Cookies
Personalization cookies remember your gaming preferences, favorite game types, and customization settings. They help us recommend relevant games and tournaments based on your interests and playing style.
These cookies also enable features like personalized dashboards, custom game filters, and tailored content recommendations in your game library and marketplace.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are set by third-party services we use, such as payment processors, analytics providers, and content delivery networks. These services have their own cookie policies and privacy practices.
We carefully select third-party partners and ensure they meet our privacy and security standards. However, we recommend reviewing their individual cookie policies for complete information.

Session cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a specified period or until you delete them manually.
Most of our cookies expire within one year, though some essential cookies may have longer durations to maintain your login status and security settings across extended periods.
Local Storage and Similar Technologies
In addition to cookies, we use local storage to save game states, user preferences, and temporary data that enhances your gaming experience. This information is stored locally on your device and is not transmitted to our servers unless necessary.
Web beacons and pixels help us understand email engagement and platform usage patterns. These technologies work in conjunction with cookies to provide comprehensive analytics.
Mobile App Data Collection
Our mobile applications may use device identifiers and mobile analytics tools that function similarly to cookies. These help us provide consistent experiences across devices and platforms.
Mobile-specific data collection is governed by your device's privacy settings and our mobile app privacy practices, which are detailed in our main Privacy Policy.
Cross-Device Tracking
We may link your activities across different devices and browsers to provide a seamless gaming experience. This allows you to start a game on one device and continue on another while maintaining your progress and settings.
Cross-device tracking is based on your account login and can be managed through your account privacy settings. You can opt out of cross-device tracking while maintaining core platform functionality.
