Hardly any cookies,and no ad tracking.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small pieces of information that a website asks your browser to store. Browsers can also keep settings in other "browser storage". Under the UK's Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), websites generally need your consent before storing anything that is not strictly necessary, unless a specific exception applies.

What we store today

Both of these are needed to give you something you asked for: a login you can use, and the display setting you picked. Neither is used to track you, so neither needs a consent banner. When a club pays for its subscription, payment is taken on Stripe's own page, which sets its own cookies under Stripe's cookie policy.

What we do not use

• Advertising, remarketing or cross-site tracking
• Analytics tools that use cookies or follow you across other websites
• Social media buttons or embedded videos and maps
• Any other third-party scripts. Apart from the two counting tools above, nothing else loads from another company, and the fonts are served from our own address.

How we count visits

We use two tools to count how many people visit the website, which pages are useful and how quickly they load. Neither uses cookies or stores anything on your device.

• Cloudflare Web Analytics counts page views and page loading speed. It does not follow you across other websites or build a profile of you. See Cloudflare's notes on Web Analytics.
• PostHog, hosted in the EU, counts page views. We run it without cookies and without local storage, so each page load simply counts as a visit. We do not use click tracking or session recordings, we do not identify visitors, we ask PostHog to discard visitor IP addresses, and we respect your browser's Do Not Track setting. See PostHog's privacy policy.

They record things like the page visited, where you came from, your country, and your browser and device type. This tells us which pages are useful, nothing more.

Your choices

You can view and delete cookies and site data in your browser's settings at any time. Clearing the display preference just resets the site to your device's light or dark setting. Blocking the sign-in cookie means you will not be able to log in to the platform.

If this changes

We may add other tools in future, such as analytics that use cookies. Before any cookie-based or other non-essential tool is turned on, we will add a cookie banner that asks for your consent first (or, where the law allows, gives you a simple way to object), and we will update this page to list what each one does and for how long.
