Cookies Policy
Last updated Sep 22, 2025
This Cookies Policy explains how HockeyStack (“we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on the website hockeystack.com (the “Site”). By using the Site and giving your consent where required, you agree to the use of cookies as described in this policy.
1. What are Cookies & Tracking Technologies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. They allow us to recognize your browser, remember your preferences, and provide certain features. Other tracking technologies include pixels, localStorage, and script-based trackers.
2. Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies for several purposes, including:
- Essential / Necessary: To enable core website functions like navigation, form submissions, security, and preferences. Without these, the Site may not work properly.
- Performance / Analytics: To understand how visitors interact with our Site (which pages are visited, time on page, etc.) so we can improve performance and user experience.
- Marketing & Advertising: To deliver relevant ads, measure campaign performance, and provide insights related to marketing channels.
- Tracking / Attribution: For features like form submission tracking, multi-touch attribution, and measuring conversion paths.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
- Session Cookies: Temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. Used for essential site features.
- Persistent Cookies: Remain on your device for a set period (e.g. 30 days, 1 year) to remember your settings, preferences, or to track repeated visits.
- Third-Party Cookies: Set by services we use (e.g. analytics tools, marketing platforms, ad networks) to provide functionality or analytics that we do not directly manage.
4. Cookies & Tools We Use
Here are examples of cookies or third-party tools we use, which may set cookies:
- HockeyStack Tracking — collects page views, form submissions, clicks, etc. (can work in cookieless mode depending on your settings)
- Google Analytics (or GA4) — to understand traffic sources, behavior on site.
- Advertising Pixels / Retargeting — e.g. Meta / LinkedIn / Google Ads (if used), to help deliver relevant ads.
If you decline non-essential cookies, we will disable tracking cookies and marketing cookies. Essential cookies may still remain to allow basic site function.
5. How to Manage / Opt-Out
You can manage or disable cookies at any time:
- Use the consent banner on the Site to update your cookie preferences.
- Modify settings in your browser to block or delete cookies. (Browsers typically let you do this under settings → Privacy / Cookies.)
- For specific third-party tools (e.g. Google Analytics or ad platforms), you can use their opt-out tools or browser extensions.
6. Tracking Consent & Cookieless Tracking
HockeyStack supports cookieless tracking. Here’s how it works:
- If visitor gives consent for analytics, full tracking (events, attribution) will be used.
- If visitor does not consent, only necessary functionality remains; we limit data collection accordingly. HockeyStack only collects what is needed for essential site function when consent is not given.
7. Data We Collect via Cookies
We may collect the following types of information:
- Pages you visit and actions you take (clicks, form submissions)
- Device/browser type, screen size, operating system
- Referring site / traffic source
- Geolocation at city-level (not precise address)
- IP address (if required for legal/over-security reasons)
8. Data Sharing & Third Parties
We share cookie and tracking data with:
- Our analytics providers
- Marketing platforms / ad networks
- Vendors required to support features like widgets, integrations, and attribution
We ensure all third parties comply with relevant privacy standards (e.g. GDPR, CCPA). If you are under legal jurisdictions that require you to know sub-processors, we provide that info in our Privacy Policy and Trust Center.
9. Your Rights
Depending on your country / region, you may have rights including:
- Right to know what cookies and personal data are being collected
- Right to withdraw consent
- Right to access data collected about you
