PCF BATTLELast updated: 19 September 2026. This policy explains how Team Belgium Powerchair Hockey VZW uses cookies and similar technologies on the Powerchair Hockey Battle website and tournament platform.
Cookies are small text files or similar information stored on or accessed from your device when you visit a website. They can maintain secure sessions, remember settings, protect against abuse and, where applicable, help understand website use. Some expire when the browser closes; others remain for a defined period.
The Powerchair Hockey Battle website and tournament platform are operated by Team Belgium Powerchair Hockey VZW, Belgium. Address: [INSERT OFFICIAL ADDRESS]. Enterprise number: [INSERT ENTERPRISE NUMBER]. Privacy contact: [INSERT PRIVACY EMAIL ADDRESS].
Necessary cookies or similar technologies may authenticate users, keep sessions secure, protect forms, prevent unauthorised access and abuse, maintain essential functionality and store essential privacy preferences. They cannot normally be disabled through cookie settings because the platform may not function securely without them. Where permitted by law, they do not require consent.
Preference technologies may remember language, display and interface settings. Where they are not strictly necessary, they will only be used where permitted by law and, where required, after consent.
Analytics may be introduced to understand visited pages, navigation, approximate visit duration, performance and technical errors. Where analytics requires consent, it will not be activated until consent is provided. If no non-essential analytics is active, no unnecessary analytics consent should be requested.
The platform does not intend to use advertising or behavioural marketing cookies unless explicitly introduced in the future. If introduced, they will only be activated with an appropriate legal basis and consent where required.
The platform may use cookies or similar technologies for authorised administrators, team representatives and other users. They help determine whether a user is logged in and which areas they may access. Security technologies may detect failed login attempts, suspicious requests, automated abuse, unauthorised access and malicious activity.
The platform may use local storage or session storage for interface preferences, authentication and application functionality. Non-essential storage is subject to the same consent principles as comparable cookies.
The platform may depend on hosting, authentication, database, email, security, payment, livestream, embedded media and analytics providers. Some may place or access cookies or similar technologies. Non-essential third-party technologies requiring consent must not be activated before consent. Final provider names and cookie details should be added once the production configuration is confirmed.
Where required, visitors are offered a clear choice before optional cookies are used: Accept all or Reject non-essential. Rejecting optional cookies is as straightforward as accepting them. Necessary technologies remain active for essential functionality and security.
Optional categories must not be enabled by default where prior consent is legally required. Closing or ignoring a banner is not consent. Consent must result from appropriate affirmative action.
The visitor's choice is stored locally on the device so the consent notice is not shown repeatedly. Choosing Reject non-essential prevents the optional analytics scripts from being loaded. Choosing Accept all allows the optional analytics scripts described in this policy to load.
Session cookies generally expire when the browser session ends. Persistent cookies remain for a defined period or until deleted and should not last longer than reasonably necessary. The production cookie table must be updated after a technical audit and should list each actual name, provider, purpose, category and duration. At present, the expected categories are authentication/session, security, cookie preference and any additional technologies confirmed before production launch.
Most browsers allow cookies to be viewed, blocked or deleted. Blocking necessary cookies may stop authentication and portal functionality. Some cookies and similar technologies may involve personal data. See the Privacy Policy for processing purposes, legal bases, retention, sharing and GDPR rights.
This policy may change when technologies, providers, analytics, functionality or legal requirements change. The latest version is published on the website.
