Cookie Policy

Last Updated: January 9, 2026

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small pieces of text sent by your web browser by a website you visit. A cookie file is stored in your web browser and allows the Service or a third-party to recognize you and make your next visit easier and the Service more useful to you.

2. How GoalMic Uses Cookies

When you use and access the Service, we place a number of cookie files in your web browser. We use cookies for the following purposes: to enable certain functions of the Service, to provide analytics, to store your preferences, and to enable advertisements delivery, including behavioral advertising.

We use both session and persistent cookies on the Service and we use different types of cookies to run the Service:

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential to let you move around the website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas, posting messages, and voting in polls. Without these cookies, the services you have asked for cannot be provided. These include session cookies and CSRF protection cookies.

Functionality of Cookies

These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features.

  • theme: Remembering your preference for Dark Mode vs Light Mode.

3. Third-Party Cookies

In addition to our own cookies, we may also use various third-parties cookies to report usage statistics of the Service, deliver advertisements on and through the Service, and so on.

However, at this stage of development, GoalMic does not utilize third-party tracking or advertising cookies. Any external content (such as embedded videos) may set their own cookies, which are subject to their own privacy policies.

4. Cookie Consent

Why don't I see a cookie banner?

Under the GDPR and ePrivacy Directive, cookies that are "strictly necessary" for the functionality of a service (such as keeping you logged in) are exempt from the requirement to obtain user consent.

Since GoalMic currently only uses these strictly necessary cookies and does not use any non-essential tracking, advertising, or analytics cookies, we are not required to display a consent banner. By using our site, you acknowledge the use of these essential cookies.

5. What are your choices regarding cookies?

If you'd like to delete cookies or instruct your web browser to delete or refuse cookies, please visit the help pages of your web browser.

Please note, however, that if you delete cookies or refuse to accept them, you might not be able to use all of the features we offer (such as Logging In, Voting, or Chatting), you may not be able to store your preferences, and some of our pages might not display properly.
