Cookie Policy

Effective from: November 2, 2026

Cookie settings — you can change your consent to cookies at any time: groundgame.com/en/pages/cookie-settings.

This policy explains how the groundgame.com store uses cookies: what they are, why we use them, which tools we utilize, and how you can decide about them. It applies to everyone who visits the store — regardless of whether you have an account with us.

When we refer to "cookies", we also mean similar technologies: pixels, scripts, and browser local storage.

I. WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR COOKIES

The store is operated by GGSPORTS Sp. z o.o., ul. Budowlana 2S/2, 65-386 Zielona Góra, Poland, KRS 0000861925, Tax ID (NIP): PL9292044002 ("we", "us"). Send questions regarding cookies to: shop@groundgame.com

II. WHAT ARE COOKIES

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device — computer, phone, or tablet — and reads during subsequent visits. They help the store remember details such as your shopping cart contents, selected currency, and your choices made in the consent banner. Cookies do not damage your device and do not install software on it.

III. ARE COOKIES PERSONAL DATA

Information collected via cookies — such as a unique identifier assigned to your browser and your IP address — may constitute personal data, especially when analytics and advertising tools connect them with your online activity, or when you log in to an account or place an order. We handle such data in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

IV. WHY WE USE COOKIES

We use cookies to:

ensure the store works properly and remains secure — remembering cart contents, login status, consent banner preferences, and processing payments;
remember your settings, such as delivery country, currency, and wishlist;
analyze how you use the store and make improvements based on that data;
show you our ads on Google, Facebook, and Instagram, and measure their performance.

V. DO WE NEED YOUR CONSENT

For strictly necessary cookies — no. We only use them when essential to provide the service you request — such as handling the cart, login, and payments, or remembering your choices in the consent banner.

For all other cookies — yes. On your first visit, we display a consent banner where you can:

accept all cookies;
reject all cookies except strictly necessary ones — with a single click;
select specific categories, e.g., allow analytics cookies while refusing marketing cookies.

Until you make your selection, only strictly necessary cookies remain active.

Google Analytics and Google Ads operate in Advanced Consent Mode: if you do not grant consent, they do not set cookies, but the store transmits baseline interaction data to Google (such as IP address, browser type, visited pages) without a persistent user identifier — for aggregate statistics and ad conversion modeling.

We store your preferences for 12 months, after which we will ask you again. To demonstrate compliance and verify what you consented to, a record of your consent choice (scope, timestamp, device type, and country) is stored in the Consentmo platform for 5 years. Your consent applies to the groundgame.com domain.

VI. WHAT TYPES OF COOKIES WE USE

By storage duration:

session cookies — deleted automatically when you close your browser;
persistent cookies — retained on your device for a defined duration or until manually deleted.

By purpose — aligned with our consent banner:

strictly necessary — maintain the shopping cart, account login, checkout payments, and record your consent choices; they do not require consent and cannot be turned off;
functional — preserve your personal preferences, such as shipping destination and wishlist, and enable customer reviews; require your consent;
analytics / performance — help us understand site navigation, visitor counts, and traffic sources; require your consent;
marketing / targeting — enable us and our advertising partners to serve tailored ads across other websites and assess campaign effectiveness; require your consent.

By provider:

first-party cookies — deployed directly by our store hosted on Shopify;
third-party cookies — deployed by our service partners listed in Section X.

VII. HOW TO MANAGE COOKIES

You decide whether and which cookies are set. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time:

within our store — by clicking "Cookie Settings" in the website footer or visiting groundgame.com/en/pages/cookie-settings, where you will also find a detailed breakdown of all cookies per category;
in your browser settings — instructions are available on the official support pages for Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Microsoft Edge, and Opera;
on mobile devices — via your browser application settings or device operating system manual.

Withdrawing consent does not affect the legality of data processing carried out prior to withdrawal. Please note that blocking all cookies will prevent the cart and account login features from functioning. Clearing cookies in your browser does not delete data already collected in store records — for details, consult our Privacy Policy.

VIII. PROFILING AND TARGETED ADVERTISING

If you consent to marketing cookies, we and our advertising partners can use your store activity — such as viewed products — to deliver tailored advertising when you browse other websites and apps (retargeting). While this constitutes profiling, it does not produce legal effects or similarly significantly impact you.

If you refuse marketing cookies, you will still see ads across the web, but they will not be tailored to your browsing behavior on our site. Information regarding hashed customer data transfers to Google and Meta is available in our Privacy Policy.

IX. THIRD-PARTY LINKS

Our website includes links to our social media profiles on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and LinkedIn. Once you navigate to these external services, their respective privacy and cookie policies govern data collection — we have no influence over their operations.

X. TOOLS WE USE
