Cookies & local storage

• Authentication session — a token stored in your browser's local storage by our authentication provider so you stay signed in between visits. Cleared when you sign out.
• Invite code — if you arrive through a friend's invite link, the code is kept locally until your first sign-in so the referral can be attributed, then removed.
• Interface preferences — small values such as the last filter you used, stored locally on your device.
• Security and load-balancing cookies set by our hosting provider for the duration of a request or session.

• No advertising or retargeting cookies.
• No third-party social tracking pixels.
• No cross-site profiling, and no sale of behavioural data.

Because we only use strictly necessary storage, ePrivacy rules do not require a consent prompt. If we later introduce analytics or any non-essential cookie, we will add a proper consent tool with granular choices, and nothing non-essential will run before you agree.

• Signing out of PadelSmash removes the session token.
• Clearing site data for this domain in your browser removes everything we store locally.
• Blocking all storage will prevent sign-in, because the session cannot be kept.

Links to a club, a booking service such as Playtomic, or a payment provider's checkout page take you to a different operator with its own cookie policy. Please read theirs when you get there.
