Cookie policy

Pro Gaming Circuit (“we”, “us”) operates pro-gamingcircuit.com for fans of UK esports, streams, news, and gaming gear. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies are, how we use them, how long they may last, and how you can control them. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which describes how personal data is processed when cookies involve personal information.

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They often contain an identifier, an expiry time, and sometimes data about preferences. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixels used for measurement. We use only what we need to run the service, keep forms secure, remember your cookie choices, and (where you allow) improve performance.

Types of cookies we use

• Strictly necessary — required for core functionality and security, for example load balancing, fraud prevention, and keeping your session stable while you complete a checkout flow. These cannot be turned off through our banner without breaking the site.
• Functional — remember choices such as whether you accepted or dismissed our cookie banner, stored locally where possible so repeat visits respect your decision.
• Analytics — if enabled in a future release, would help us understand aggregate traffic (for example which news filters are popular) in line with our Privacy Policy and only after appropriate consent where required.
• Embedded content — pages that embed third-party media (for example stream previews) may set their own cookies or read existing ones according to those providers’ policies; we do not control those files.

First-party and third-party cookies

First-party cookies are set by pro-gamingcircuit.com. Third-party cookies are set by another domain, such as a payment provider during checkout or a social network if you follow an outbound link. Our shop and static marketing pages minimise third-party calls; when we add live payments or analytics, we will list each provider, purpose, and typical retention in an updated table on this page.

Retention

Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies (for example consent state) may last up to twelve months unless you clear them earlier. We periodically review whether retention periods can be shortened without harming functionality.

Managing cookies

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you block third-party cookies only, delete cookies on exit, or whitelist specific sites. If you dismiss non-essential options via our banner, we will respect that choice where technically possible. Blocking all cookies may prevent some features (such as staying signed in to a future account area) from working.

Updates to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when we launch new features, change vendors, or respond to regulatory guidance. The “Cookie policy” page title and breadcrumb will remain the canonical location; material changes will be summarised on the site news feed where appropriate.
