Cookie Policy

Last updated: 1 November 2026

playvibechess.com uses cookies and similar browser storage so that pages work and remember your settings, and to count visits. There are no advertising cookies on the site.

You can delete cookies or block them in your browser settings. The current version of this policy is always available at playvibechess.com/cookie-policy.

1.What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that a site stores in your browser when you open it. On later visits the browser hands them back, and the site recognises your device and your settings.

Browser storage (localStorage) works in a similar way: the site keeps small records on your device. In this policy we call both of them cookies - the same rules apply.

2.Which cookies are used

Type	What for	Can you opt out
Strictly necessary	Remember that you are signed in to the Vibe Chess app, your language and display settings (for example, the light or dark theme of the projector screen). They are kept in your browser's storage (localStorage) on your device and are not sent anywhere	No: without them the app would sign you out and forget your settings
Functional	Not used separately: everything the pages need to work counts as strictly necessary	-
Analytics (performance)	Google Analytics 4: how many people visit the site, which pages they read and where they come from	Yes, in your browser (see below)
Targeting (advertising)	Not used: there are no ads on the site, we build no interest profiles and pass no data to ad networks	There are none

3.Google Analytics cookies

Analytics cookies are set by Google Analytics 4. The main ones are listed below; the full list and lifetimes are set by Google and described in the Google Analytics help.

Name	Purpose	Lifetime
_ga	Distinguishes one browser from another so a returning visitor is not counted as new	2 years
_ga_<ID>	Keeps the state of the current visit (session)	2 years

Google Analytics collects statistics: IP address, browser and device details, which pages you opened and where you came from. More in the privacy policy.

5.How to switch off or delete cookies

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, in the privacy or site data section. There you can also block cookies just for playvibechess.com or block third-party scripts - then the analytics counter receives nothing about you.

Important. If you delete all cookies and site data, your browser will sign you out of every site, including the Vibe Chess app in the browser. Opting out of analytics cookies does not affect how the site and the app work.

6.Changes and contact

We may update this policy, for example if the analytics counter changes. A new version is published on this page with the date of the update. Questions about cookies: message us on Telegram.
