Cookie Policy

At BowlStar, we are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your personal information. This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies on our website and mobile application. By using our services, you consent to the use of cookies in accordance with this policy.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They help us to remember your preferences, understand how you interact with our services, and improve your overall experience. Cookies can be "persistent" or "session" cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period of time, while session cookies are deleted when you close your browser.

Types of Cookies We Use

  • Essential Cookies: These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. They enable basic functions like page navigation and access to secure areas of the website. Without these cookies, the website cannot function properly.
  • Performance Cookies: These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, such as which pages are visited most often and if they receive error messages from web pages. These cookies do not collect information that identifies a visitor. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. It is only used to improve how our website works.
  • Functionality Cookies: These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. For instance, a website may be able to provide you with local weather reports or traffic news by storing in a cookie the region in which you are currently located.
  • Targeting Cookies: These cookies are used to deliver adverts more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaign. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator’s permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations such as advertisers.
  • Third-Party Cookies: These cookies are set by a domain other than the one being visited by the user. If a user visits a website and a separate company sets a cookie through that website, this would be a third-party cookie.

How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for a variety of purposes, including but not limited to:

  • Authenticating Users: Cookies help us verify your account and device and determine when you’re logged in, so we can make it easier for you to access our services and provide the appropriate experiences and features.
  • Security and Site Integrity: We use cookies to help us keep your account, data, and our services safe and secure. Cookies can help us identify and impose additional security measures when someone may be attempting to access a BowlStar account without authorization, for instance, by rapidly guessing different passwords. We also use cookies to store information that allows us to recover your account in the event you’ve forgotten your password or to require additional authentication if you tell us your account has been hacked.
  • Site Features and Services: Cookies can tell us which language you prefer and what your communications preferences are. They can help you fill out forms on our services more easily. They also provide you with features, insights, and customized content in conjunction with our plugins.
  • Performance: We use cookies to provide you with the best experience possible. For example, cookies help us route traffic between servers and understand how quickly our services load for different people. Cookies also help us record the ratio and dimensions of your screen and windows and know whether you’ve enabled high-contrast mode, so that we can render our sites and apps correctly.
  • Analytics and Research: We use cookies to better understand how people use our services so that we can improve them. For example, we can use these cookies to determine if you have viewed a particular page or opened a particular email. This helps us understand the effectiveness of our communications and marketing campaigns.
