At CTRL Lounge, we value the privacy of our users and are committed to transparency in how we collect, use, and manage data through cookies and similar technologies. This Cookie Policy outlines what cookies are, how we use them on our website and online services, and the choices you have regarding their use. By continuing to use our website, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy unless you have changed your browser settings to disable them.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet, etc.) when you visit a website. They contain data that helps websites remember information about your visit, which improves functionality and user experience. For example, cookies can remember your login details, track session activity, and store your preferences so that your future visits are more efficient and personalized.

Cookies help us ensure that our website and digital platform operate smoothly, securely, and efficiently. In the context of a computer club, where users often reserve time slots, join tournaments, or log in to personal accounts, cookies allow us to provide a seamless and enhanced experience.
We use cookies for the following key purposes:
These cookies are crucial for the operation of our website and online systems. They allow users to navigate the site, use secure areas (such as the login portal), and maintain their session while browsing. For instance, these cookies enable the session timer during a PC reservation process or help verify user identity during account access. Without these cookies, our website could not offer basic services or security functions.
These cookies collect anonymous data on how visitors use our site. We use them to track traffic sources, monitor site performance, identify slow-loading pages, and understand user interaction patterns. In the context of a computer club, this helps us determine which services are most used — for example, whether users are more interested in multiplayer games, training programs, or online event registration — allowing us to improve and optimize our offerings accordingly.
Functionality cookies remember the choices you make and provide enhanced features. They allow us to remember your login name, preferred games, language preferences, or hardware settings you used during your last visit. This personalization is especially useful for members who frequently book gaming PCs with specific configurations or return to the club for the same games or activities.
Advertising cookies track your online activity to help us offer more relevant advertisements and promotional content. For example, if you often engage with first-person shooters, you may see targeted ads for upcoming FPS tournaments or events in our club. These cookies help us tailor our communication and marketing strategies to better match your interests, while also limiting repetitive ad exposure and measuring campaign effectiveness.
Our website may include cookies from third-party service providers, who assist us in various ways, including analytics, performance tracking, and marketing. These may be companies that help us monitor site behavior, show ads, or enable social media sharing. These third-party cookies are controlled by the respective service providers, and we encourage users to review the privacy practices of those providers to understand how their data may be used.
We take care to work only with partners that respect data protection standards and who use cookies for legitimate purposes related to site improvement and user experience enhancement.
