Cookie Policy

This policy explains what cookies Aspire Tournament sets, why we set them, and how you can manage them. We keep it short — we only use two cookies and both are essential.

Effective: May 14, 2026Cookies set: 2 (essential only)

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, to keep you logged in between pages, and to remember your preferences.

Cookies are set either by the website you are visiting (first-party cookies) or by third-party services embedded on the page. Aspire Tournament sets only first-party cookies — we do not embed any third-party scripts that place cookies on your device.

Cookies can be session cookies  (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (stored for a defined period). Both types we use are described in full below.

Cookies We Set

Aspire Tournament sets exactly two cookies. Both are technically essential for the platform to function. Neither contains personally identifiable information in readable form.

laravel_sessionEssential
PurposeMaintains your authenticated session across page requests. This cookie stores your server-side session identifier so you remain logged in as you navigate the platform.
Duration14 days (rolling — reset on each request)
HttpOnlyYes — not accessible to JavaScript
SecureYes — only sent over HTTPS
XSRF-TOKENEssential
PurposeCross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) protection. Included automatically with every state-changing request (login, form submission, etc.) to confirm the request originates from the platform.
DurationSession (expires when browser tab/window is closed)
HttpOnlyNo — readable by JavaScript (required for CSRF protection)
SecureYes — only sent over HTTPS
The actual name of the session cookie may differ slightly from laravel_sessiondepending on the environment configuration. You can inspect cookies set by the platform using your browser’s developer tools under Application → Cookies.

No Analytics or Advertising Cookies

Aspire Tournament does not use any analytics, advertising, or tracking cookies. We do not integrate Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, HotJar, or any other third-party tracking scripts.

This means:

  • No cross-site tracking of your browsing behaviour
  • No advertising retargeting or audience profiling
  • No data sold to or shared with ad networks
  • No cookie consent banner required beyond this disclosure (our cookies are essential-only)

The only data we collect automatically is limited to what is described in our Privacy Policy — specifically session and IP data needed for authentication and security.

Managing Cookies

You can view and delete cookies set by any website using your browser’s built-in tools. Instructions for the most common browsers:

Google Chrome

Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data → See all cookies and site data → search for aspiretournament.com → Delete

Mozilla Firefox

Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data → Manage Data → search for aspiretournament.com → Remove Selected

Apple Safari

Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data → search for aspiretournament.com → Remove

Microsoft Edge

Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data → See all cookies and site data → search for aspiretournament.com → Delete

Blocking or deleting the essential cookies listed above will prevent you from logging in to Aspire Tournament and will break core platform functionality. These cookies are strictly necessary for authentication and security.

Because we only set essential cookies, standard browser cookie blocking settings (such as blocking third-party cookies) will not affect the Aspire Tournament platform unless you specifically block cookies from aspiretournament.com.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy if the cookies we use change. Any updates will be posted to this page with a revised effective date at the top. If we introduce new non-essential cookies in the future, we will update this policy and implement an appropriate consent mechanism before setting them.

We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about the cookies we use.
