Cookie Policy

Last updated: September 25, 2026

You can review or change your cookie choices at any time.

The short version

  • This website only sets analytics cookies if you say yes. It works just the same if you say no.
  • We don't use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.
  • The platform uses essential cookies to keep you signed in; those can't be switched off.
  • You can change your choice at any time from "Cookie settings" in the footer.

This summary is only a guide. The full text below is what applies.

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files a website stores on your device. They help sites work, remember your choices, and understand how they're used. Similar technologies, such as your browser's local storage, work in much the same way, so in this policy "cookies" covers both.

2. Where this policy applies

This policy covers this marketing website and the playdesk platform where venues manage bookings, POS, and staff. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal information more generally.

3. Cookies on this website

This website uses only the following. Analytics cookies are set only after you opt in.

NameCategoryPurposeDuration
playdesk-cookie-consentStrictly necessaryRemembers your cookie choices so we don't ask on every visit. Stored in local storage.12 months
_gaAnalytics (Google)Distinguishes unique visitors to measure site usage.2 years
_ga_<ID>Analytics (Google)Keeps track of your session for the same purpose.2 years

Google Analytics is provided by Google LLC. We configure it to shorten IP addresses before storing them and have turned off advertising features. Google's own use of this data is described in its privacy policy.

4. Cookies on the platform

  • Strictly necessary: keep you securely signed in, protect against cross-site request forgery, and balance traffic across our servers. The platform can't work without them.
  • Preference: remember choices you've made, such as your last-used calendar view or selected venue.

Our payment processor may also set cookies during checkout to prevent fraud and process payments securely. These are governed by the processor's own cookie policy.

5. Managing your choices

On your first visit to this website, we ask before setting any non-essential cookies. You can accept all, reject all, or choose by category. Rejecting is as easy as accepting, and the site works the same either way.

You can change your mind at any time using "Cookie settings" in the footer or the button at the top of this page. If you withdraw consent, we stop analytics immediately and delete its cookies from your browser. We'll ask again after 12 months, or sooner if this policy changes materially.

You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies on the platform will stop you from staying signed in.

6. Browser privacy signals

Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" signal. There's no common standard for responding to it, so we don't change our behavior when we detect one. We ask before setting any analytics cookies anyway, so nothing is tracked unless you opt in.

7. Changes to this policy

We'll update this policy when the cookies we use change. The date at the top shows when it last changed. If we add a new category of non-essential cookies, we'll ask for your consent again.
