Last updated: February 27, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how BrewShowdown.com ("BrewShowdown," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website (the "Site"). This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help websites function properly, remember preferences, and understand how visitors interact with content. We may also use similar technologies such as local storage, pixels, or tracking scripts.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

A. Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the Site to function. We use cookies or local storage to record that you have voted on a matchup, help prevent repeat or fraudulent voting, and maintain basic security and performance. Without these cookies, some features of the Site, including voting limitations, may not function properly.

B. Analytics Cookies

We may use analytics tools to understand which pages are visited, how users interact with content, and general traffic patterns. This helps us improve content and usability. Analytics tools may collect IP address, device type, browser information, and usage data.

C. Affiliate Tracking Cookies

When you click an affiliate link to a retailer, the retailer or affiliate network may place cookies on your device to track that you clicked from BrewShowdown, attribute purchases, and calculate commissions. These cookies are controlled by third-party affiliate networks or retailers and are subject to their own privacy policies.

D. Advertising Cookies (Future Use)

We may display advertising in the future. Advertising partners may use cookies or similar technologies to deliver relevant ads, measure ad performance, and limit repetitive ads. If we enable advertising cookies, this policy will be updated accordingly.

3. How Long Cookies Last

Cookies may be session cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (remain on your device for a set period of time). Voting-related cookies may persist for a defined period to reduce duplicate voting. Affiliate cookies are controlled by third parties and may vary in duration.

4. Your Choices

You can manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to delete cookies, block cookies, and receive alerts before cookies are stored. If you disable cookies, some parts of the Site may not work properly, including vote limiting functionality. You may also use browser extensions or tools that block tracking technologies.

5. Third-Party Control

We do not control cookies set by affiliate networks, retailers, analytics providers, or future advertising partners. Please review those third parties' privacy and cookie policies for more information.
