Cookie Policy

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how CPTCGDB, operated by [LEGAL ENTITY], uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides more detail on how we handle personal data overall. By continuing to use CPTCGDB, you agree to our use of essential cookies as described below.

2. What Is a Cookie?

A cookie is a small text file placed on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) by a website when you visit it. Cookies allow the website to recognise your device and remember certain information about you across page loads and visits.

Cookies can be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (stored on your device for a set period of time). They can be set by the website you are visiting (first-party cookies) or by third-party services used by the site.

3. Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are required for the website to function correctly. They cannot be disabled.

Authentication session (Supabase auth): stores your login session so you remain signed in as you navigate the site. Without this cookie, you would be logged out on every page load.

CSRF token: protects against cross-site request forgery attacks. Required for any form submission or data mutation.

Consent state (cptcgdb_consent): stores your cookie preferences so we can honour them on future visits. This cookie is set only after you interact with the cookie banner.

4. Functional Cookies

Functional cookies remember your preferences to improve your experience. They are not strictly necessary for the site to work but provide useful functionality.

Language preference: remembers your chosen language (English or Spanish) so you do not have to select it on every visit.

UI settings: may remember display preferences such as sidebar state or other interface choices.

You can enable or disable functional cookies in your preferences below.

5. Analytics Cookies

We currently do not use analytics cookies.

This section is a placeholder for future use. If we introduce analytics tools (such as privacy-friendly page view tracking), we will update this policy and request your consent before setting any analytics cookies.

6. Marketing Cookies

We currently do not use marketing or advertising cookies.

This section is a placeholder for future use. CPTCGDB is a community platform and we do not currently run advertising campaigns. If this changes, we will update this policy and request your consent.

7. Managing Your Preferences

You can review and update your cookie preferences at any time using the preferences panel on this page.

You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies, delete existing cookies, or be notified when a cookie is set. Please note that disabling essential cookies will break core functionality such as staying logged in.
