Cookie Policy
Last updated 15 September 2026
We keep cookies to a minimum. Strictly necessary ones make the site work. Anything else stays off unless you switch it on, and saying no is as easy as saying yes.
Strictly necessary
These are needed for Hoopline to work and do not require consent under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR).
| Name | Purpose | Lasts |
|---|---|---|
| hl_free | Counts Free plan patterns this month (signed, contains no personal details) | 40 days |
| sb-* (sign-in session) | Keeps you signed in to your account, only set if you sign in | Until you sign out, up to 1 week |
| hl_consent (local storage) | Remembers your cookie choice | Until you clear it |
When you pay, our payment service provider may set its own strictly necessary cookies on its payment page to prevent fraud.
Analytics (optional)
If you choose “Accept all”, we may use privacy-friendly, aggregated analytics to understand which pages and styles are used. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. Analytics stay off if you choose “Reject optional”.
Changing your mind
Use Cookie settings in the footer of any page to change your choice at any time. You can also delete cookies in your browser settings. We respect Global Privacy Control signals as a refusal of optional cookies.
