Cookie Policy

We use cookies in a variety of ways, which we will outline below. Before we do so, though, it's worth noting that we don't think cookies are inherently bad. A cookie is an object that stores text information about a User, such as a User"s login state, preferences, or methods of interacting with Challenge Club. Some of them are necessary for a particular site to function, such as cookies for a commerce website that store the contents of a User's cart or cookies that we use to authenticate and log in Users. Other cookies may collect and provide statistics about how Users interact with Challenge Club, which help us improve existing products and develop new products. We do not currently (or have any plans to) use marketing cookies, but these are cookies that may track your online activity to help advertisers manage ads that are displayed to You. Some cookies may remember a User"s preferences with respect to how a site (i.e. Challenge Club) looks or behaves.

Cookies are part of the mechanism by which a site, such as Challenge Club, manages necessary information about how you use its product, remembers your preferences, and is able to suggest and develop things that you may want to see and use. Certainly, cookies can be problematic, but, like many sites, we strongly believe that the benefits to Users and to us, which includes remembering User preferences and providing statistics which we can analyze to provide a better product, outweigh the potential downsides.

We do use necessary cookies, and may use preference cookies and statistics cookies. The necessary cookies that we use help us manage the User authentication and login processes, as well as story privacy settings. We may use preference cookies to manage your preferences, such as those related to the kinds of challenges that you prefer. We may also use statistics cookies (which, with respect to how we use this cookie, may also be called "analytics" or "performance" cookies) to understand the behavior of our Users in order to refine, expand, and develop products. We do not use marketing cookies designed to operate, serve, and/or track advertisements on our platform. It is possible that Challenge Club may eventually have multiple products across sites, and use marketing cookies to cross-promote our products, but we do not currently, or have any plans to, do so. We also do not currently have, or have any plans to add, third-party advertisements on the Challenge Club site. We may use embedded content from third-parties, such as video streams or social media interactions (e.g. a Facebook "like" button). While these would not involve Challenge Club setting any associated cookies, the origin site may set their own cookies. If you are a registered User, you may go to your account settings to customize your cookie preferences. We do not set cookies prior to you beginning the process of registering an account. You may set your cookie preferences at that time, and change them from your account settings dashboard [here][Cookie Customization Dashboard]. Whether or not you are a registered User, you may also generally manage your cookie settings through your browser.
