This page explains how PlayedIn uses cookies and similar browser storage. For information about your profile and other personal information, see our Privacy page.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small pieces of information a website stores in your browser. They can help a website remember that you have signed in. Browser storage can perform similar functions.
Essential cookies
When you sign in or use a feature that needs a session, PlayedIn uses an essential first-party session cookie to keep you signed in and support secure account and form interactions. We do not ask for consent for cookies that are strictly necessary to provide a service you request.
The session cookie has a name beginning with SESS, or SSESS on a secure HTTPS connection, followed by a site-specific identifier. It contains a session identifier rather than your profile details. Its current browser lifetime is approximately 23 days and may be renewed while you use the site. Signing out ends your signed-in session; your browser may also remove cookies sooner.
Browsing public pages
You can browse our homepage, contact page and sign-in page without advertising or analytics cookies being set. These pages do not currently load advertising pixels or analytics trackers.
Videos and social sharing
Uploaded profile videos play directly from PlayedIn. They do not use an embedded YouTube or other social-media player.
Our social sharing buttons are links. Following one may take you to another service, where that service's own cookie and privacy information applies. The buttons do not load a social-media tracking widget on the profile.
Your choices
You can use your browser settings to view, block or delete cookies and other site data. Blocking essential session cookies may prevent you from signing in or using account features. Deleting cookies does not delete your PlayedIn account or profile.
We will update this information if our use of cookies changes. If we introduce technologies that require consent, we will provide the appropriate choices before using them.
Questions?
Please use our Contact form if you have a question about cookies or browser storage on PlayedIn.
Signing in with another provider
If you choose Google, Facebook or X sign-in, you are redirected to that provider to authorise sign-in or connect your account. That provider’s own cookie and privacy information applies on its service. The sign-in buttons do not load a third-party tracking widget on PlayedIn’s public pages.
