Cookie Policy

Short version: BBX Arena does not use cookies for advertising, tracking, or analytics - none at all. This page exists to say so explicitly and explain the one place we do store anything in your browser.

No advertising or tracking cookies

We don't run ads, analytics scripts, or any third-party tracking pixels, so there's nothing here to opt in or out of. No cookie-consent banner is shown because none of the cookie categories that require consent (advertising, analytics, cross-site tracking) are used anywhere on this site.

What we do store in your browser

The simulator, tournament tools, and part-stats page save your preferences (chosen parts, launch settings, stadium skin, tournament rosters, sort order, etc.) using your browser's built-in local storage - a different mechanism from cookies, never sent to any server, and readable only by this site. Clearing your browser's site data for bbxarena.com removes it completely.

Judge Certification session

The paid Judge Certification exam uses a random, single-use token (passed in the page URL) to track an in-progress exam attempt, not a cookie. See the Privacy Policy for exactly what data that feature handles.

Third-party payment processor

If you use Judge Certification, payment is handled entirely by PayPal on their own domain, which may set its own cookies under their policy - BBX Arena has no access to or control over those. See PayPal's privacy policy.

Changes to this policy

If that ever changes (for example, if we add analytics in the future), this page will be updated first and a consent mechanism will be added before any non-essential cookie is set.
