Cookie Policy

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. Similar technologies (local storage, pixels, SDKs) may be used for the same purposes described here.

Categories we use

• Essential — theme preference, basic UI state, and your stored cookie consent choice so the site works as you expect. These do not require an opt-in beyond using the site.
• Analytics — if you accept analytics, privacy-conscious product analytics (for example Vercel Analytics / Speed Insights) help us understand aggregate usage and performance.
• Advertising — if you accept advertising and we enable Google AdSense (or similar), advertising partners may set cookies to serve, personalize (where allowed), and measure ads. Partners may collect data about your visits to this and other sites.

How we ask for consent

On your first visit we show a cookie banner. Accept all enables analytics and advertising cookies. Essential only keeps the site functional without analytics or advertising scripts. Your choice is stored in local storage on your device.

To change your mind later, clear site data for Code Arena in your browser (or remove the codearena-consent-v1 local storage key) and reload — the banner will appear again.

Google AdSense

When AdSense is configured and advertising consent is granted, Google may use advertising cookies. You can learn more at Google advertising technologies and manage personalized ads via Google Ad Settings where available.

Managing preferences

You can also clear or block cookies in your browser settings. Blocking essential storage may affect theme persistence or other UI features. Browser controls and extensions may further limit analytics or ads.
