1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences, keep you logged in, and understand how you use the site. We also use similar technologies such as localStorage and browser storage. References to "cookies" in this policy include these similar technologies where applicable.

2. Your Cookie Choices

When you first visit Ski Manager, a consent banner gives you three options:

Accept All — Enables analytics and advertising cookies
Analytics Only — Enables analytics cookies, blocks advertising cookies
Reject All — Blocks all non-essential cookies

You can change your preference at any time through the cookie consent banner or, when logged in, from the Settings page under "Cookie Preferences." We use Google Consent Mode v2 to enforce your choice across all Google services on our site.

Analytics Only: analytics_storage is granted. All ad-related signals are denied.
Reject All: All signals are denied. Google may still use cookieless pings for basic measurement where legally permitted.
