Cookie Policy

A cookie is a small text file that a website stores in the user’s browser. Cookies make it easier to use and navigate a website and are essential to how the internet works, offering real advantages when it comes to delivering interactive services.

Cookies are used, for example, to manage a user’s session, remember certain preferences, analyze how a website is used, measure the performance of specific content, or tailor a website’s content to a user’s preferences—all of which improves the overall browsing experience.

Based on how long they last, we distinguish between “session” cookies and “persistent” cookies. Session cookies are deleted once you leave the website that created them or close your browser, whereas persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period of time.

We can also distinguish between “first-party” and “third-party” cookies, depending on who manages the device or domain the cookies are sent from and who processes the data collected. First-party cookies are sent to your device from a device or domain managed by Stream Hatchet, from which the service you requested is provided. Third-party cookies, on the other hand, are sent to your device from a device or domain not managed by Stream Hatchet—or, even if they’re sent from a domain managed by Stream Hatchet, they are handled by a third party for that third party’s own purposes.

You can find more information about cookies at www.allaboutcookies.org.

Essential technical cookies

These are the cookies that let you navigate a website, platform, or application and use the various options or services available on it. This includes the cookies Stream Hatchet uses to run and manage the Site and to enable its features and services.

Among other things, these cookies may be used to identify your session, access restricted areas, manage authenticated user sessions, monitor traffic and data communication, apply security features while you browse, or confirm that your browser accepts cookies.

Technical cookies are exempt from the consent requirement when they’re used to provide the service you requested or are necessary for the Site to function properly.

Because these cookies are necessary, you can’t disable them through the cookie manager, and they’re exempt from consent where that exemption applies.

Please note that if you block this type of cookie through your browser settings, the Site may not work correctly.

Functional cookies

These cookies remember information so that you can access the service with certain features that may set your experience apart from other users’—for example, interface preferences, user settings, session configuration, or specific options you select while browsing.

The only cookie of this kind on the Site is the one that remembers the cookie choices you make in our banner, which is listed as an essential cookie below.

As a general rule, these cookies are set when you take certain actions on the Site or when they’re needed to deliver a service you’ve requested. If they’re used for purposes that aren’t strictly necessary, we’ll ask for your consent first.

Analytics cookies

Analytics cookies allow the party responsible for them to track and analyze how users behave on the websites they’re linked to. This includes the number of pages visited, where visits come from, how often users return, how long they stay on the Site, which browser they use, and the interactions they make.

The information gathered through these cookies—whether by us or by third parties—lets us count the number of users and carry out statistical measurement and analysis of how people use our Site. We do this by studying how users move through our Site, with the goal of improving the products, services, content, and features we offer.

Our Site uses analytics cookies from Google Analytics 4 and HubSpot. They are listed individually further down this page.

These cookies will only be installed once you’ve given your consent.

Advertising and marketing cookies

These cookies store information about how users behave, gathered by observing their browsing habits, which makes it possible to build a specific profile and show advertising based on it.

They’re usually managed by third parties that handle ad space or measurement and targeting technologies. Among other things, these cookies make it possible to measure the effectiveness of online campaigns, provide you with information you may find relevant, deliver advertising content matched to your browsing profile, run retargeting campaigns, or cap the number of times you see a given ad.

We do not currently place advertising pixels on the Site. Where you allow it, measurement data already collected through Google Analytics 4 may also be used for advertising purposes—for example, to understand whether an advertisement led to an enquiry. If we add advertising technologies in future, they will be listed on this page and you will be asked for your consent again.

These cookies will only be installed once you’ve given your consent.

For more details about the cookies that may be used on the Site, please refer to the cookie manager.

The hatchet_consent cookie, from Hatchet, stores your own cookie choices, the version of the notice you were shown, and when you made them, so we do not ask again on every page and can honour the decision you made. It lasts 12 months and its domain is hatchet.gg.

The _ga cookie, from Google Analytics 4, tells returning visitors apart by assigning a random identifier, so visits, sessions and campaign data can be counted. It lasts 2 years and its domain is .hatchet.gg.

The _ga_K659SRM0VM cookie, from Google Analytics 4, keeps session state for the Google Analytics property identified by G-K659SRM0VM. It lasts 2 years and its domain is .hatchet.gg.

The __hstc cookie, from HubSpot, hubSpot's main tracking cookie. Records the domain, a visitor identifier and the timestamps of the first, previous and current visit. It lasts 6 months and its domain is .hatchet.gg.

The hubspotutk cookie, from HubSpot, identifies a visitor across pages and visits, and is what lets a form you submit be joined to the pages you looked at beforehand. It lasts 6 months and its domain is .hatchet.gg.

The __hssc cookie, from HubSpot, tracks a single browsing session and counts its page views. It lasts 30 minutes and its domain is .hatchet.gg.

The __hssrc cookie, from HubSpot, records whether you restarted your browser, so HubSpot can tell a new session from a continued one. It lasts session and its domain is .hatchet.gg.

The muxData cookie, from Mux, identifies a viewer of the video on our home page so Mux can measure playback quality — how quickly it starts, and whether it stalls. It lasts session and its domain is hatchet.gg.

The _gcl_au cookie, from Google, stores the identifier of an advertisement you clicked to reach the Site, so an enquiry can be attributed to the advertisement that led to it. It lasts 3 months and its domain is .hatchet.gg.

As we noted in the previous sections, our Site may use first-party and/or third-party cookies.

Third-party cookies are managed directly by those third parties, who may use the data for their own purposes. You can find all the relevant information in the cookie manager itself, as well as in the privacy or cookie policies of the third parties identified in each section.

The third parties that may process information through cookies include Google LLC, Microsoft Corporation, and HubSpot Inc.

Because we use third-party cookies, your data may be transferred outside the European Economic Area or to countries that don’t offer a level of protection equivalent to the one set out in the applicable regulations.

Depending on the destination country, this transfer may constitute an international data transfer. In those cases, Stream Hatchet and/or the relevant third parties will put in place the safeguards required by the applicable regulations.

All information relating to this section can be found in the cookie manager itself and in the policies of the relevant third parties.

You can review the retention periods for the information collected by the various cookies in the tables included in this Cookie Policy and, where applicable, through the cookie manager.

How long cookies last can vary depending on their purpose. Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser, others remain for a few minutes, hours, or days, and others may be kept for longer periods—such as 13 months, 1 year, or 2 years.

The first time you visit our Site, we give you the option to choose which cookies you’d like to install or reject. You can decline the installation of any cookie category except technical cookies, which are necessary for the Site to work properly.

If you’ve used the cookie manager to accept certain cookies that you later want to reject, you can change your original selection or reconfigure them through the cookie manager whenever it’s available.

You can also update your cookie preferences through the cookie manager by clicking the link provided on the Site.

If for any reason the cookie manager doesn’t let you reconfigure them, you can still accept or reject the installation of cookies—or reject a specific type of cookie—at any time by changing your web browser’s settings.

Through your web browser, you can:

• Turn on private browsing, which stops your browser from saving your browsing history, website passwords, cookies, and other information from the pages you visit; or
• Turn on the “Do Not Track” feature, which asks the websites you visit not to track your browsing habits.

Bear in mind that blocking cookies may affect all or some of our Site’s features. For your convenience, here are the help links for managing cookies in the main browsers:

The links above may be updated by the companies that develop these browsers. Stream Hatchet will make every reasonable effort to keep the list above up to date. However, if a link doesn’t work properly or isn’t current, remember that you can always go to your browser’s “Help” menu to find this information.

We’d also like to point out that some cookie providers have a direct way for users to opt out of having their cookies installed. Keep in mind that if you ever delete the cookies in your browser, your opt-out preferences for these providers may be deleted too, in which case you’ll need to set your preferences again.

In addition, if you’d like more control over which cookies are installed, you can add programs or browser extensions—known as “Do Not Track” (DNT) tools—that let you choose which cookies to enable.

For more information on how you can exercise your rights to access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, and objection—or any other question about how we process data through the use of cookies—please see our Site’s Privacy Policy.

You’ll find the link to our Privacy Policy at the bottom of the pages on our Site.

This Cookie Policy may be amended or updated at any time, particularly when there are changes to the Site’s technical configuration, the providers we use, or the applicable regulations. For that reason, we recommend reviewing it each time you visit this Site.
