Cookies policy
Last updated 2026.
ballknowledge uses a small number of essential, first-party cookies to keep the game working — nothing for advertising, and nothing that tracks you across other sites.
What we use
- Sign-in session. A cookie that keeps you signed in anonymously between visits, so your streak and progress are still there when you come back. Without it, you'd start from zero every time you opened the game.
- Identity fallback (
hoopiq_uid). An httpOnly cookie used only if cloud sync isn't available, so the game can still keep a streak and avoid repeating a player with no account of any kind involved.
What we don't use
No advertising cookies, no cross-site tracking cookies, no third-party marketing pixels. Our analytics (Vercel Analytics and Speed Insights) is first-party and cookieless — it measures page views and performance, not individuals.
Your choices
Because everything here is essential to the game running at all — not used for advertising or tracking — blocking these cookies in your browser will simply break sign-in and progress tracking rather than opt you out of anything. You can always clear your browser's cookies to reset your anonymous identity and start fresh.
