Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They help websites function properly, remember your preferences, and understand how visitors use the site. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies https://icehockeyworldjuniors.com/ use and how you can control them.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains more broadly how we handle your personal information.

Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. They enable core features such as page navigation and access to secure areas of the site. The site may not work as intended without these cookies.

Analytics Cookies

We use analytics cookies, such as those from Google Analytics, to understand how visitors interact with our site. This includes information like:

  • Pages visited and time spent on each page
  • Which links are clicked most often
  • General traffic patterns and device/browser types

This data helps us improve site content and performance. We collect it in aggregate, and it does not directly identify you as an individual.

Preference Cookies

These cookies remember choices you make on the site, such as display settings, to provide a more personalised experience on return visits.

Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies may be placed by third-party services we use, such as analytics providers or embedded content (like social media widgets, if used). These third parties may collect information about your online activities across different websites. We do not control these third-party cookies directly; please refer to the respective third party’s cookie or privacy policy for more information.

How Long Do Cookies Last?

  • Session cookies: Temporary cookies deleted when you close your browser.
  • Persistent cookies: Remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them manually.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can manage your preferences in the following ways:

  • Browser settings: Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings, including blocking or deleting cookies
  • Cookie consent tool: If our site displays a cookie consent banner, you can adjust your preferences there at any time
  • Opt-out tools: For Google Analytics specifically, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on

Please note that turning off certain cookies, particularly essential cookies, may affect the functionality of the website.

Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” feature. Because there is no industry-standard approach to responding to these signals yet, our site does not currently respond differently based on Do Not Track settings.

Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for legal and regulatory reasons. The “Last Updated” date above reflects the most recent revision.
