Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains which cookies and similar technologies GoalieQ uses on goalieq.vercel.app, what they do, and how you can control them.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They let the site remember things like your preferences or whether you've been there before. "Similar technologies" include localStorage, which we use to remember your cookie consent choice.
2. Cookies we use
Strictly necessary
These are needed for the site to work and don't require consent.
| Name | Purpose | Provider | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| gq_consent | Remembers your cookie consent choice (granted or denied) so we don't ask again. | GoalieQ (localStorage) | Until you clear it |
Analytics (optional — only if you accept)
These cookies help us understand how visitors use the site. They are not set unless you click "Accept analytics" on the cookie banner.
| Name | Purpose | Provider | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Distinguishes unique visitors. | Google Analytics | 2 years |
| _ga_D02BMKBG7Y | Persists session state for this specific Analytics property. | Google Analytics | 2 years |
IP addresses are anonymised before being stored by Google Analytics.
3. How to manage your choice
When you first visit the site, a banner asks whether you accept analytics cookies. You can change your mind any time:
- Use the Cookie settings link in the footer of the home page.
- Clear your browser's localStorage for goalieq.vercel.app — the banner will appear again on your next visit.
- Use your browser's built-in cookie controls to block or delete cookies. Browser help: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge.
4. Do Not Track
Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" signal. There is no industry standard for responding to it, so we currently do not respond to DNT signals separately — but the same effect can be achieved by declining analytics cookies on our banner.
5. Third-party tools
- Google Analytics — usage analytics. See Google's Privacy Policy.
- Google Forms — used for the waitlist form submission. The form itself does not set tracking cookies on this site.
- Google Fonts — fonts are loaded from fonts.googleapis.com.
- Vercel — hosting. Vercel may use minimal first-party cookies for operations and security.
6. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy as the site evolves. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent version.
