Cookie Policy

DiscGolfEstonia.com uses cookies and similar technologies to operate the website and, with your permission, to understand how the website is used and measure the effectiveness of our advertising.

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which types of technologies we use and how you can control your choices.

For information about how we process personal data more generally, please see our Privacy Policy.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites can store on your computer, phone or other device when you visit them.

Cookies can be used for different purposes. Some are necessary for a website to work properly. Others can help website operators understand how visitors use a website or measure whether advertising campaigns are effective.

Websites may also use technologies such as pixels, tags and browser storage that perform similar functions. In this Cookie Policy, references to cookies also include similar technologies where appropriate.

2. How we use cookies

DiscGolfEstonia.com uses three main types of technologies:

• strictly necessary technologies
• analytics and performance technologies
• marketing and advertising measurement technologies

Strictly necessary technologies can operate without your consent where they are genuinely necessary for the website, security, consent management or a service that you have requested.

Analytics and advertising technologies are optional. They are not activated until you give the relevant consent through our cookie banner.

You can use the main content and functionality of DiscGolfEstonia.com without accepting optional cookies.

3. Strictly necessary cookies

Strictly necessary technologies support functions that are required for the website to operate properly.

They may be used for purposes such as website security, technical operation, spam prevention and remembering your cookie preferences.

DiscGolfEstonia.com uses Complianz to manage cookie consent. Complianz may use necessary browser storage or cookies to remember the choices you make about optional technologies.

Our forms use Fluent Forms. We use its Honeypot functionality as a basic spam-prevention measure rather than loading an external CAPTCHA service for normal form submissions.

Strictly necessary technologies are not used by us for behavioural advertising.

Because these technologies are required for essential functionality or to remember privacy choices, they cannot normally be disabled through our cookie preference panel. You can still block cookies through your browser, although doing so may affect website functionality.

4. Analytics and performance cookies

With your consent, DiscGolfEstonia.com uses Google Analytics 4, provided by Google, to understand how visitors use the website.

Google Analytics may collect information about how visitors interact with the site, including information such as pages viewed, navigation between pages, approximate technical information about devices and browsers and information about how a visitor reached the website.

We use this information to understand which content is useful, identify areas that can be improved and analyse overall website performance.

Google Analytics is not activated through DiscGolfEstonia.com until you have given consent for analytics technologies.

You can refuse analytics cookies without losing access to the main content or functions of the website.

5. Advertising measurement technologies

With your consent, DiscGolfEstonia.com uses Google Ads conversion measurement and Meta Pixel.

These technologies help us understand whether advertising campaigns result in useful actions on DiscGolfEstonia.com. For example, they may help us measure whether someone who arrived through an advertisement later visited a relevant page or completed another measured action.

Information processed by these technologies may include browser and device information, online identifiers, website interactions, referring information and information about measured events.

For the MVP, we use these technologies for conversion measurement and campaign performance. We do not use DiscGolfEstonia.com to operate remarketing audiences or personalised advertising at launch.

Google Ads and Meta Pixel are not activated through DiscGolfEstonia.com until you have given the relevant marketing or advertising consent.

If we later introduce remarketing, personalised advertising or materially different advertising uses, we will update this Cookie Policy and our consent configuration before using them.

6. Google and Meta

Google Analytics and Google Ads are services provided by Google. Meta Pixel is provided by Meta.

When you consent to these technologies, information may be sent to and processed by the relevant provider.

Google and Meta operate internationally and their processing may involve companies or infrastructure outside the European Economic Area.

More information about how personal data is processed, including international data transfers, is provided in our Privacy Policy and in the privacy information published by the relevant provider.

We do not control cookies or other technologies placed by Google or Meta after the relevant services have been activated with your consent.

7. Cookie consent and your choices

When you first visit DiscGolfEstonia.com, you can choose how optional cookies and similar technologies are used.

You can:

• Accept all
• Reject non-essential
• Manage preferences

Optional categories are disabled by default until you make a choice.

Choosing Reject non-essential means that analytics and advertising measurement technologies will remain disabled.

Choosing Manage preferences allows you to decide which optional categories you want to allow.

We do not treat scrolling, continuing to browse or inactivity as consent.

8. Changing or withdrawing your consent

You can change your cookie preferences or withdraw consent at any time through the Cookie Settings option available on DiscGolfEstonia.com.

Withdrawing consent must be as easy as giving it. After you withdraw consent, technologies requiring that consent will no longer be activated by DiscGolfEstonia.com for future browsing.

Withdrawal does not affect processing that lawfully took place before consent was withdrawn.

Your consent preferences may themselves be stored using strictly necessary technology so that the website can remember your choice.

9. How long cookies remain on your device

Different cookies and similar technologies can have different lifetimes.

Some exist only for the duration of your browser session while others remain for a defined period so that a preference or identifier can be recognised during a later visit.

Because the exact cookies used by services such as Google and Meta can change over time, the current cookie list maintained through our Cookie Settings provides the most specific information about:

• the cookie or technology name
• provider
• purpose
• category
• expiry or duration

We periodically review this information and update the site’s cookie configuration when necessary.

10. External links

DiscGolfEstonia.com contains links to external websites and services such as Google Maps, Disc Golf Metrix, UDisc, Discgolfirajad.ee, Eesti Discgolfi Liit and official course websites.

These are ordinary links rather than embedded third-party content.

Simply loading a DiscGolfEstonia.com page containing one of these links does not intentionally load the linked service on that page.

If you click an external link, you leave DiscGolfEstonia.com. The destination website may then use its own cookies or similar technologies under its own privacy and cookie policies.

11. Embedded third-party content

At launch, DiscGolfEstonia.com does not use embedded Google Maps, YouTube videos, social media feeds or similar third-party content that automatically loads from those providers when a page opens.

If we introduce embedded third-party content later, we will assess its privacy and cookie behaviour first.

Where consent is required, the third-party content or associated technologies will not be loaded before the appropriate consent or visitor action.

12. Browser controls

Most browsers allow you to view, delete or block cookies through their settings.

You can usually configure your browser to block all cookies, block third-party cookies or delete previously stored cookies.

Browser controls operate separately from the choices you make through the DiscGolfEstonia.com cookie settings.

Blocking all cookies may affect functions that depend on strictly necessary technologies.

13. Consent records

We use our consent-management system to keep an appropriate record of cookie choices.

This helps us apply your preferences and demonstrate that consent has been requested and managed appropriately.

We aim to record only the information reasonably necessary for these purposes.

14. Future services

DiscGolfEstonia.com may introduce additional functionality in the future.

Possible future features include newsletters, affiliate partnerships, display advertising or other services.

These features are not described as active merely because they may be introduced later.

Before introducing a new service that materially changes our use of cookies, tracking technologies or personal data, we will review our consent setup and update this Cookie Policy where necessary.

15. Changes to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when our website, plugins, service providers or use of cookies and similar technologies changes.

We will also review it when introducing new analytics, advertising or other tracking functionality.

The date at the top of this page shows when this Cookie Policy was last updated.
