Cookie Policy

Last Updated: June 26, 2026

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small fragments of data stored in text files, placed on your computer or mobile device when applications load within your browser. They are widely implemented to make platforms operate smoothly, track state transitions across matching servers, remember configuration variables, and deliver analytics data back to system operators.

2. How GreenLight Uses Cookies

Because GreenLight is a real-time, interactive gamified infrastructure, we utilize cookies to track fast-paced events. Without these cookies active, multiplayer rooms, room lobbies, live dashboards, and score matching algorithms would fail to associate your browser session with your current active game pin.

3. Our Cookie Classifications

We separate cookie clusters based on their direct runtime responsibilities:

  • Strictly Essential: Fundamental components needed to authenticate players, spin up secure WebSocket channels, and verify that registration headers are protected against forgery.
  • Preference & Functionality: Used to persist layout configuration states, such as keeping dark mode locked via your theme toggle setup or preserving volume thresholds across quiz countdown timers.
  • Performance & Telemetry: Aggregates metrics showing how fast room lists resolve, where UI layout bottlenecks manifest during high traffic loads, and overall platform performance.

4. Explicit Cookie Breakdown

Below is an audit map detailing the common primary cookies injected during platform execution:

__gl_active_pinHooks live WebSocket channels to the correct interactive quiz match lobby.Essential1 Day

_ga / _gidMonitors high-level anonymous audience volume and engagement metrics.Analytics2 Years

5. Third-Party Service Nodes

In addition to our internal tracking layers, specific operations interface with verified external platforms. For instance, payment checking routines use cookies deployed via Stripe to capture anti-fraud metadata and manage premium checkout lanes. Identity verification components also interface with Google OAuth hooks to enable seamless, single-click social registrations.

6. Managing & Toggling Cookies

Most desktop and mobile browsers allow you to manage cookie parameters via their core settings panels. You can configure your browser to block third-party analytics cookies or clear local application caches completely. However, please be aware that disabling cookies can disrupt real-time score updates, prevent you from joining live rooms, or cause your session to drop during active gameplay.
