Cookie Policy

Picklary may use browser storage for language preferences and tool history, and Google or other advertising vendors may use cookies when ads are active. The current static build does not use IP-based language routing. You can clear cookies and localStorage in your browser settings, and you can change the language manually at any time. Personalised ads can be managed in Google Ads Settings.

Why this page matters

This policy page is not just a formality. It explains how Picklary creates content, separates ads from editorial work, limits user submissions, and corrects errors. Clear privacy, copyright, advertising, and moderation standards make the site safer for readers and advertisers.

Picklary covers topics that can change, including rules, paddles, players, events, and DUPR-related links. For that reason, these policy pages also explain the limits of current information, the need to verify external sources, the separation of advertising and editorial work, and the review standards for user input. They act as a public trust layer and an internal checklist for future features.

Community boards, highlight videos, and gear reviews can raise copyright, privacy, and moderation issues. This version does not automatically publish user posts to a public server, and a public launch should include reporting, removal requests, spam prevention, and pre-publication review.

These pages are kept in the footer so readers can find them at any time. They also serve as a checklist when new tools, articles, ads, or community features are added: the new feature should not conflict with the stated privacy, advertising, correction, or moderation standards.

Readers should use these policies together, because privacy, cookies, advertising, corrections, and community moderation affect one another when interactive tools are added. This is especially important for a site that combines articles, tools, external links, and future community features.

What users can control

Language choice and some tool history are stored for convenience, not to track users across other sites. Advertising cookies may be controlled through Google Ads Settings and browser privacy settings.
