How we use them at WAVEiii

Websites use cookies for all kinds of reasons. Advertising, traffic measurement, personalizing your experience and more.

At WAVEiii we use them for several things:

  • To recognize you when you return, so you don't have to sign in every time
  • To help you get back to your event if you choose to authorize us to connect to your Fitbit or Strava account
  • To help us recognize your Event Coordinator when they sign in.
  • To keep non-players from poking around in your activities.
  • To automatically end sessions of players who are inactive for too much time.
    • and finally
  • to turn off the bright yellow cookies disclaimer on the home page once you click the OK, got it button.
