This Cookie Policy explains how meeplehome ("we," "our," or "us") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website.
By continuing to browse or use meeplehome, you agree that we can store and access cookies and other tracking technologies as described in this policy.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site.
In addition to cookies, we may use local storage, which allows us to store data locally within your web browser. Local storage functions similarly to a cookie but can hold slightly more data and does not expire automatically.
2. How We Use Cookies and Local Storage
We use these technologies to analyze site traffic, remember your board game search preferences, and make sure our map-based board game shop finder runs smoothly.
We use the following categories of cookies:
A. Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the basic operation of the website. Without these cookies, meeplehome cannot function properly.
Purpose: They help us manage network traffic, secure our forms, and ensure basic layout elements load correctly.
B. Functional & Preference Cookies (including Local Storage)
These allow us to remember decisions you make on our website so you do not have to re-enter them on future visits.
Purpose: We use local storage to remember your recent game recommendation form preferences (such as preferred player counts, ideal playtimes, and game weight) so you don't have to fill out the form from scratch every time.
Shop finder: We may store your preferred city or ZIP code locally to immediately load relevant nearby board game stores the next time you use our shop finder.
C. Performance and Analytical Cookies
These cookies collect information about how visitors use meeplehome, such as which pages are visited most often or if visitors get error messages. These cookies do not collect information that identifies a visitor; all information is aggregated and anonymous.
Purpose: We use analytics (such as PostHog) to understand which game categories are most popular, how users interact with our recommendation tool, and where we need to make interface improvements.
D. Map and Geolocation Integrations
Our board game shop finder uses third-party mapping services (such as Google Maps API or Mapbox) to display physical stores on an interactive map. These third parties may set cookies to handle map rendering, usage limits, and secure map delivery.
3. Your Choices Regarding Cookies
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies.
- Browser settings: You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website, though your access to some functionality and areas of our website may be restricted (for example, we won't be able to automatically remember your previous board game recommendation inputs).
- Local storage: You can clear your browser's history or site data at any time to remove all locally stored board game preferences and location searches.
