COOKIE POLICY

The teamliquid.com websites (the “Properties”), including the facilities.teamliquid.com website application(s), use cookies and/or similar technologies (collectively referred to as "Cookies").. A "cookie" is a small bit of record-keeping information that many websites and other online products and services often store on a user's computer or device in order to identify the device and/or its user and associate activity with it.

The Properties are operated by Competitive eSports LLC (“Liquid”). This policy explains how Liquid uses cookies and the choices you have. Except as otherwise stated in this policy, our Privacy Policy will apply to our processing of the data we collect via cookies.

Throughout this Policy, the terms “we”, “us” and “our” refer to Liquid. Liquid offers these Properties, including all information, tools and services available from these Properties to you, the user, conditioned upon your acceptance of all terms, conditions, policies and notices stated here.

When visiting the Properties you may have options to enable or disallow Cookies. We use Cookies to optimize your visit, make your browsing and/or user experience as effective as possible, and let you know about offers and features that we think will interest you. This means that if you disallow Cookies, your use of the Properties may be impaired.

Depending on the Property you are using, and the country you are based in, Cookies may be set on your computer or device by either:

  • Liquid - to recognize and associate activity with your computer or device when it visits a Property. Liquid Cookies cannot be used to recognize or associate activity with your computer or device when it visits other, third party websites or online properties.
  • Third Parties - to enable third party features or functionality to be provided on or through our Properties or other online properties (e.g. advertising and analytics). The third parties that set these Cookies may be able to recognize your computer or device both when it visits the Properties or other online properties that use the third party's features and functionality.

Please be aware that minors (as defined by their applicable jurisdiction) need their parents’ representation and/or consent to participate in the Properties (including, without limitation, the Liquid fan loyalty program).

TYPES OF COOKIES

There are four categories of Cookies (necessary, performance, functionality and advertising), as well as technologies that are similar to cookies, that may be served through our Properties. Cookies may also be set by third parties, including our affiliates, and their vendors and partners. To see a list of the specific Cookies that our Properties may contain, please see the Cookie List at the bottom of this Cookie Policy.

To learn more about your opt-in and opt-out choices for cookies, please see the 'Managing Cookies' section below. To learn more about your opt-in and opt-out choices for technologies that are similar to cookies, please see the 'Similar Technologies' section below.

NECESSARY COOKIES

These Cookies are essential in order to enable you to move around websites or online properties and use their features, such as accessing secure areas of a website. The information collected by these cookies is not used for marketing purposes. If you do not allow the use of this type of Cookies, multiple parts of our Properties cannot be used. The Cookies also do not remember which other websites you have visited.

PERFORMANCE (OR ANALYTICS) COOKIES

These Cookies collect information about how visitors use a website or online property, for instance, which pages visitors go to most often, and if they get error messages from web pages. These Cookies don't collect information about the actual identity (e.g., name) of a visitor. All information these Cookies collect is aggregated. They are only used to improve how a website or other online property works. We generally contract with third parties (such as Google Analytics), to provide these services on our behalf. Google uses aggregated statistical information to give us insight into how users use the websites. Google may only provide this information to third parties if Google is required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on behalf of Google. More information about Google Analytics can be found here.

FUNCTIONALITY COOKIES

These Cookies allow the website or online property to remember choices you make (such as the language or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. These Cookies can also be used to remember changes you have made related to accessibility (e.g. text size, fonts) and customization. They may also be used to provide services you have asked for such as watching a video. The information these Cookies collect may be anonymized and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites. If you refuse the usage of this type of Cookies we can offer less support to you.

ADVERTISING COOKIES

Liquid does not use any advertising Cookies on the Properties at this time.

SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES

From time to time, we may use web beacons (or clear GIFs) on our websites or other online properties or include them in the email messages we send you. Web beacons (also known as "web bugs," "pixel tags," or "pixels") are small strings of code that provide a method of delivering a graphic image on a web page or in an email message for the purpose of transferring data. We use web beacons for many purposes, including site traffic reporting, unique visitor counts, advertising, email auditing and reporting, and personalization. For example, we may use these in emails to understand and analyze whether the email was opened or any links were clicked, in order to improve our future communications with you and other users. As a web beacon forms part of a webpage or email it does not have the same opt out options as other Cookies. Generally, you can render them ineffective by opting out of any cookies they set, by turning off images in your email service, or by viewing your emails as “text” rather than “HTML.” For more information on how to opt out of Cookies see the Managing Cookies section below, and for more information on how to turn off images in your emails or to view them as text see the “Help” section of your email service provider.

We encourage you to review the third-party privacy policy or cookie policy for more information about these Cookies and how to manage them.
