This policy explains the cookies and similar browser-storage technologies we use, and how you can control them. It sits alongside our Privacy Policy.
We don't use traditional tracking cookies or advertising. Instead, the site uses your browser's local storage — small pieces of data kept in your browser — to keep you signed in and to remember your settings. We group these as strictly necessary and functional.
These are required for the site to work — you can't turn them off without breaking sign-in. Under the PECR rules they don't require consent.
| Name | Purpose | Retained |
|---|---|---|
pv_token | Your login session token, so you stay signed in. | Until sign-out |
pv_session | Flags whether you are currently signed in. | Until sign-out |
pv_account | Your basic account details for display (name, number, role). | Until sign-out |
These remember your choices to improve your experience. They aren't essential, but the site is nicer with them.
| Name | Purpose | Retained |
|---|---|---|
pv_prefs | Your language and light/dark theme choice. | Until you clear it |
pv_cookie_consent | Remembers your response to the cookie banner. | 12 months |
pv_champs, pv_declared_* | Remembers championships you've joined and race declarations. | Until you clear it |
Our pages load web fonts from Google Fonts. To serve them, Google receives your IP address. Google does not use this to identify you, but it is a transfer of technical data to a third party. If you decline non-essential storage in the cookie banner, you may still see the fonts load, as they are part of the page styling; you can block them fully using your browser or an extension if you prefer.
If you follow a link to our Discord server, Discord sets its own cookies under its own policy.
