Cookie Policy

Last updated: 2026-08-17

Strictly necessary — always on

A session cookie that keeps you signed in to your athlete or organizer account, and a rate-limiting identifier that protects sign-in and other forms from abuse. The site can't function without these, so they're not something you can opt out of — the same way a store can't hand you a shopping basket without knowing which basket is yours.

Analytics — only with consent

Google Analytics (GA4) measures page views and general usage patterns, so we can tell which parts of the site are actually useful. It sets its own cookies and sends data to Google.

Advertising — only with consent

Google Ads records when a click on a "Register" button was reached through one of our ads, so we know which ads are worth running. It doesn't see anything about the registration itself — that happens entirely on the event's own site.

Counting event-page visits — no cookie, no consent needed

We count how many times each event page is viewed, so we can tell the race organiser how many people saw their listing. This is ours alone — nothing is sent to Google or anyone else — and it sets no cookie and stores nothing on your device. It also keeps no IP address, no browser fingerprint and no address you arrived from, only whether it was a search engine, a social network, our own pages or another site. Since it cannot identify you, it isn't a cookie choice and runs either way; declining above still turns off Google Analytics and Google Ads as described.

Changing your choice

You chose whether to allow analytics/advertising cookies the first time you visited. Change it anytime — this brings the banner back so you can pick again.
