Cookie Policy
Last updated: 17 June 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how 8-0-0 (the "game") uses cookies and similar technologies, in line with the EU/UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the ePrivacy rules (the "cookie law"). It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. "Similar technologies" include local storage and session storage, which a site can use to remember information in your browser. They can be set by the site you're visiting ("first-party") or by another domain ("third-party").
Under the cookie law, strictly necessary technologies — those essential to provide a service you've asked for — can be used without consent. Anything else (analytics, advertising, personalisation) requires your prior, informed consent.
Do we use cookies?
We keep this simple: 8-0-0 does not set any first-party tracking, analytics or advertising cookies. We have no accounts and no advertising, so there is nothing to track you with.
To make the game work we may use your browser's session storage — a strictly-necessary technology — to carry your draft setup (formation, difficulty and ratings) from the setup screen into the game. This information stays in your browser, is not sent to us, and is not used to identify or track you.
Cookies and storage we use
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
wc_setup (session storage) |
Strictly necessary | Carries your draft setup (formation, difficulty and ratings) from the setup screen into the game. Stored only in your browser. | Cleared when you close the tab |
We do not currently use any non-essential cookies. If that ever changes (for example, if we add privacy-friendly analytics), we will update this page and ask for your consent through a cookie banner before any such cookies are set.
Third-party services
Some third parties that help deliver the site may receive technical data even though we don't place cookies ourselves:
- Google Fonts — fonts are loaded from Google's servers, which can receive your IP address as part of the request. Google does not set advertising cookies through the standard Fonts API, but its processing is governed by Google's own policies.
- Cloudflare (hosting) — may keep standard server logs for security and reliability; these are not advertising cookies.
How to control cookies and storage
You are always in control. You can:
- Clear cookies and local storage for this site at any time through your browser's settings.
- Block or restrict cookies and storage entirely (note: blocking session storage may stop the game from carrying your setup into a match).
- Use private/incognito browsing, which discards local storage when you close the window.
Most browsers explain how to do this in their "Privacy" or "Cookies and site data" settings.
Your rights
Under the GDPR you have rights over any personal data, including the right to withdraw consent for non-essential cookies at any time. Since we don't use non-essential cookies, there is currently no consent to withdraw. You can read more about how we handle data in our Privacy Policy.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy if our use of cookies or storage changes. The "last updated" date above will always reflect the latest version.
