What cookies and similar technologies Scout uses on scoutgaming.com, what each one does, how to control them, and how this relates to the main privacy policy.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website and read on subsequent visits. Similar technologies (local storage, pixels, SDK identifiers) can serve the same purpose. In this policy "cookies" covers all of these.
scoutgaming.com is a B2B marketing website. We aim to keep the cookie footprint small. Non-essential cookies are only set after you give consent through the cookie banner.
| Cookie / storage | Purpose | Category | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
| scout_consent | Stores your cookie-banner choice so we don't ask again on every visit | Strictly necessary | 12 months |
| scout_theme | Stores your theme/contrast preference if you change it | Strictly necessary | 12 months |
| analytics_* | Privacy-friendly analytics — aggregate, anonymous traffic and content metrics. Set only after consent. The provider is selected from a short list of EU-hosted privacy-first vendors; the current provider is named in the cookie banner. | Analytics (consent) | Up to 24 months |
No marketing, ad-targeting, retargeting, or social-network pixel cookies are set by this website at present. If that changes, this policy and the cookie banner will be updated before any such cookie is set.
Fonts on this site are loaded from Google Fonts. Loading a font from Google's servers transmits your IP address to Google. We are working to migrate the fonts to local hosting; until then this transmission is unavoidable for the visual appearance of the site. No font-loading cookie is set on this site.
Outbound links from this site to third-party platforms (LinkedIn, news outlets, regulator websites) take you to those services and place you under their respective privacy and cookie policies, not this one.
Personal data processed in connection with cookies is also covered by the Scout privacy policy. Where the two documents address the same processing, the privacy policy is the authoritative reference for legal bases, controllers, retention and rights.
This policy may be updated to reflect changes in the cookies we use or in applicable law. Material changes are notified through the cookie banner or in the navigation. The version and effective date at the top of the policy indicate when the current version came into force.
