Cookie Policy

Last updated: July 19, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Hand2Note Software Ltd. ("BadBeat.tv", "we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on the BadBeat.tv website and related services (the "Service"). It should be read together with our Terms of Service and User Agreement.

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device. Browser local storage is a related technology that stores data in your browser without using a cookie. In this policy, "storage technologies" means cookies and browser local storage together.

2. Storage Technologies We Use

Account and Session Storage

When you sign in, we use browser local storage and a first-party cookie to store authentication and account-session information. This information enables the Service to recognize your account during client-side navigation and server-rendered requests. It may include an authentication token, user identifier, email address, and login-provider state. These technologies are necessary to provide account and subscription features.

Preference Storage

We use browser local storage to remember Service preferences, such as display choices and selected filters. These preferences improve your experience but are not used for advertising.

No First-Party Analytics or Advertising Cookies

We do not currently set first-party analytics or advertising cookies. If this changes, we will update this policy and request consent before setting non-essential cookies where applicable law requires it.

3. Third-Party Storage Technologies

Third-party providers may use cookies or similar technologies when you use their features through the Service. We do not control their storage technologies; their own privacy and cookie policies apply.

1. YouTube and other video providers may use storage technologies to deliver embedded playback, remember playback settings, prevent abuse, and measure viewing.
2. Stripe may use storage technologies when you open its hosted checkout to process payments securely and prevent fraud.
3. Google, X, and Discord may use storage technologies when you choose the corresponding social sign-in option.

4. How Long Information Remains

Our account-session cookie is configured to expire after 30 days, although signing in again may renew it. Information in browser local storage does not have an automatic expiration date and remains until the Service or you remove it, for example by signing out or clearing site data. Third-party retention periods are set by the respective provider.

5. Your Choices

You can control storage technologies through your browser and the relevant third party:

1. most browsers allow you to view, delete, or block cookies and local storage through their privacy or site-data settings;
2. blocking or deleting our account-session storage may sign you out and prevent account or subscription features from working correctly;
3. you may control third-party storage using the settings offered by the provider or your browser's third-party-cookie controls.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in the technologies we use or in applicable law. The date at the top indicates when it was last revised. Where required by law, we will announce material changes through the Service before they take effect.
