How HobbyCard uses cookies and similar browser storage technologies, and how you can manage them.

Last updated

  1. What are cookies

    Cookies are small text files placed on your device by the websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to the site owners. This policy explains how HobbyCard PTY LTD uses cookies and similar technologies (such as local browser storage) when you visit our website.

  2. How we use cookies and local storage

    HobbyCard uses cookies and browser local storage to keep you signed in, remember your preferences (such as dark or light view), track how many free guest valuations you have used, and understand how visitors use our site so we can improve it. We do not use cookies to identify you personally beyond what is needed to run your session.

  3. Types of cookies we use

    • Essential cookies: required for the site to function, such as keeping you logged in. These cannot be turned off.
    • Preference cookies: remember choices you make, such as your display name or collection view settings.
    • Analytics cookies: help us understand which pages are popular and how visitors move through the site, so we can improve it.

  4. Third-party cookies

    We use a third-party AI provider for the card valuation tool. When you submit a card photo for valuation, the image is sent to that provider for processing. We do not allow third-party advertisers to set cookies on our site.

  5. How long cookies stay

    Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser (session cookies). Others remain on your device for longer (persistent cookies) so you do not have to sign in again on your next visit. You can clear persistent cookies at any time through your browser settings.

  6. Managing your cookies

    You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you refuse non-essential cookies or delete cookies that have already been set. Note that if you disable essential cookies, parts of the site (such as staying signed in or submitting a valuation) may not work.

  7. Changes to this policy

    We may update this cookie policy as the platform grows. When we do, we will change the date shown at the top of this page.
