Cookie Policy
Cookie Policy of www.amateurchess.com
This document informs users about the technologies that this website uses to achieve the purposes described below. These technologies enable access to or storage of information (e.g., through the use of cookies) on the user's device or the use of the device's data processing capabilities when the user accesses or runs this website.
For simplicity, unless there is reason to differentiate, such technologies are defined as "trackers" within this document. For example, while cookies can be used in both web and mobile browsers, they do not qualify as browser-based trackers in mobile apps. Therefore, this document uses the term cookie only when specifically referring to the type of tracker.
Some of the processing purposes for which trackers are used require user consent, depending on the applicable law. If consent is given, it can be freely withdrawn at any time following the procedure described in this document.
This website uses provider-owned trackers (so-called "first-party trackers") and third-party trackers in connection with third-party services (so-called "third-party trackers"). Unless otherwise stated within this document, such third parties also have access to the trackers they manage. The validity period and expiration of cookies and other similar trackers depend on the lifetime defined by the provider or the respective third-party provider. Some of them expire as soon as the user ends the browsing session.
In order to obtain more detailed and up-to-date information on the lifespan as well as other information - such as regarding the use of further trackers - users are referred to the descriptions of the categories listed below as well as, in addition, to the linked privacy statements of corresponding third-party providers or to contact the provider.

Manage settings and grant or revoke consents
The management of tracker settings and the granting and revocation of consent can be done in various ways:
Users can manage tracker settings directly via their own device settings, e.g., by completely objecting to the use or storage of trackers.
If the use of trackers is based on consent, users can also grant or revoke consent by making the appropriate selection in the cookie notice or by changing said selection via the corresponding consent widget (if available).
Via the corresponding browser or device settings, already stored trackers, including those responsible for storing the original user consent, can also be deleted.
Other trackers stored in the browser's local memory can be removed by deleting the history.
With respect to all trackers used by third parties, users can manage their settings and withdraw their consent by using the appropriate opt-out link (if available), using the means indicated in the third party's privacy policy, or contacting the third party.

Users can also manage certain trackers deployed within mobile apps via appropriate device settings - for example, via device settings about advertising on mobile devices, or via tracking settings in general (users can access device settings and search for the appropriate commands).
