What are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the site owners.

How We Use Cookies

At ELO Maxing, we use cookies primarily for:

• Essential Functions: To remember your site preferences (e.g., dark mode vs light mode, board themes, piece sets) so you don't have to re-select them on every visit. This is usually stored in local storage.
• Analytics: We use Google Analytics to understand how our users interact with the platform. This helps us optimize performance, fix bugs, and see which openings or puzzles are most popular.

Your Choices Regarding Cookies

Upon your first visit to ELO Maxing, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner. You can choose to accept or decline the optional analytics cookies. Essential preferences (like theme selection) are strictly necessary and cannot be turned off.
