1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser so it can recognise you between page loads — for example, to keep you logged in or to protect forms you submit.
2. How Battlemate uses cookies
We only use strictly necessary cookies: the ones the site and app cannot work without. We use no analytics cookies, no advertising cookies and no tracking of any kind. Because every cookie we set is essential, UK law (PECR) does not require us to show you a cookie consent banner — there is nothing optional to consent to.

4. Controlling cookies
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings — see the help pages for Chrome, Firefox, Safari or Edge. Because all our cookies are essential, blocking them will stop parts of the Service working — in particular, you will not be able to log in to the app.
5. Changes to this policy
If the cookies we use change, we will update this page and the date at the top. Questions? Email contact@battlemate.co.uk.
