Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Puntr (the “Site”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit or use our services. It describes what cookies are, why we use them, the types of cookies that may be set, and how you can control your cookie preferences.

This policy should be read alongside our other privacy materials, including our Privacy Policy and Terms & Conditions.

What cookies are (and why they matter)

Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, phone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They help sites remember information about your visit - like whether you’re logged in, which settings you prefer, or how the site performed on your device.

Similar technologies may also be used, such as local storage, SDKs, pixels, and tags. In this policy, we refer to all of these as “cookies” unless stated otherwise.

How Puntr uses cookies to run smoother, safer, and smarter

We use cookies to support core site functionality and to improve your experience. Depending on how you interact with Puntr, cookies may be used to:

Keep the Site functioning reliably, including log-in sessions and account security Protect against fraud, abuse, and unauthorized access Remember your preferences (like language or display settings) Understand how features perform so we can fix issues faster Measure traffic and usage patterns so we can improve navigation, load times, and usability Support marketing and advertising measurement where enabled by your settings and applicable law

Because Puntr includes account-based features (including contests, leaderboards, and withdrawals), some cookies are essential for security and session management.

The cookie types you may see on Puntr

Different cookies serve different purposes. Some are set by Puntr (first-party cookies), and some are set by service providers we work with (third-party cookies).

Essential cookies (always needed for core functions)

Essential cookies help the Site work properly. They’re typically used for things like session management, authentication, security controls, and traffic distribution. Without these, key features (such as staying logged in or using account tools) may not work correctly.

Functional cookies (personalize your experience)

Functional cookies remember your choices and preferences so the Site feels consistent from visit to visit. For example, these can help retain preference settings and make the interface easier to use.

Performance and analytics cookies (help us improve)

These cookies help us understand how people use the Site - such as which pages get visited, which features are used, and whether errors occur. This information is usually aggregated and used to improve performance, reliability, and user experience.

If you disable these cookies, we’ll still run the Site, but we may have less insight into what’s working well and what needs improvement.

Marketing cookies (measure and tailor promotions)

Marketing cookies may be used to help deliver more relevant promotions and to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They can also help prevent showing the same ad too many times and may link activity across sites or platforms, depending on the provider and your settings.

Where required by law, we use marketing cookies only after you provide consent.

First-party vs. third-party cookies

Puntr may use first-party cookies set directly by our domain to ensure the platform works as expected.

We may also allow third-party services to place cookies or similar technologies to support analytics, performance monitoring, payment flows, fraud prevention, or advertising measurement. These third parties may collect information about your device and browsing activity over time, subject to their own privacy practices.

Third-party providers change from time to time as we update tools and infrastructure. If you’d like details about the specific cookies currently being set in your browser, you can view them in your browser settings or developer tools at any time.

Consent: how we handle your cookie choices

When you first visit Puntr (and in certain regions), you may see a cookie banner or preference tool that lets you accept, reject, or customize non-essential cookies. Essential cookies are typically enabled because they’re required for the Site to operate securely and correctly.

You can also change your choices later by updating your cookie preferences (if a preference tool is available in your region) or by adjusting your browser settings as described below.

How to manage, disable, or delete cookies

You’re in control. Most browsers allow you to:

View cookies stored on your device Delete all cookies or specific cookies for a site Block cookies entirely Block third-party cookies only Set rules so cookies are cleared when you close the browser

You’ll find these controls in your browser’s privacy or settings menu. If you use multiple devices or browsers, you’ll need to update settings on each one.

If you prefer, you can also use private/incognito mode, though cookies set for essential functionality may still be used during that session.

What happens if you block cookies

Blocking cookies can affect how Puntr works. Depending on what you disable:

You may be logged out more often or unable to stay signed in Some security checks may fail or require extra verification Preference-based settings may reset between visits Certain features may load incorrectly or more slowly We may not be able to diagnose performance issues as effectively Marketing and measurement features may be limited or unavailable

If you run into issues after changing cookie settings, try re-enabling cookies for Puntr or clearing old cookies and restarting your browser.

Do Not Track signals

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) setting. Because there isn’t a consistent industry standard for how DNT should be interpreted, Puntr may not respond to DNT signals in a uniform way across all environments. We continue to honor cookie consent choices where required and supported.

Policy updates: staying current as the platform evolves

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or how Puntr operates. When we do, we’ll post the updated version on this page and adjust the “last updated” date.
