Cookie Policy
Last updated: April 10, 2026
1. What are cookies
Cookies are small text files stored in your browser when you visit a website. They help the site remember your preferences, keep you logged in, and understand how people use the site.
2. What cookies we use
We use two categories of cookies:
Essential cookies
Required for the platform to function. These cannot be disabled. They cover authentication (keeping you logged in), session management, and your cookie preference choice. No personal data is shared with third parties via these cookies.
Legal basis: Legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR)
Analytics cookies (optional)
We use Vercel Analytics to understand how visitors use the site — which pages are popular, where traffic comes from, and how the leaderboard and idea pages perform. Vercel Analytics is privacy-first: it does not use cross-site tracking, does not fingerprint browsers, and does not sell data. You can opt out at any time.
Legal basis: Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR)

5. How to manage your cookies
You have three ways to manage cookies on FundedOrFucked:
Via our cookie banner: when you first visit, you can accept all, reject optional, or customize your preferences. You can change your choice at any time by clicking the button below.
Via your browser: you can delete or block cookies at any time in your browser settings:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data
Note: blocking essential cookies will break login and other core functionality.
6. Your rights (GDPR)
If you are in the EEA, you have the right to withdraw consent for optional cookies at any time. This does not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal. Withdrawing analytics consent means we stop collecting analytics data from your visits going forward.
To exercise other privacy rights (access, deletion, portability), see our Privacy Policy.
7. Changes
We may update this policy as we add new features or services. Changes will be reflected in the "Last updated" date above. We will show the cookie banner again if we make material changes.
