Cookie policy

1.Cookies and browser storage

A cookie is a small file a site asks your browser to keep and reads back later. Local and session storage are the same idea with other lifetimes.

2.When consent is needed

Article 22.2 of Spanish Law 34/2002 makes storing or reading anything on your device subject to consent, with two exceptions: what is strictly necessary for a service you asked for, and what remembers a setting you chose.

We use none of the things that require consent. Everything below is strictly necessary or a setting you chose, and our measurement writes nothing to your device. Hence no banner — nothing to ask for. The duty to inform survives, and this page discharges it.

3.What is on your device

Cookies and browser storage, in one list:

Name	Type	What it does	Kept for
refresh_token	Cookie	Keeps you signed in; a revocable session	30 days idle, 180 max
access_token	Cookie	Authorises one request, server-side	14 minutes
session_hint	Cookie	Tells a page a session exists	As refresh_token
NEXT_LOCALE	Cookie	The language you chose	12 months
theme	Local storage	Light or dark	Until you clear it
auth:pending_email	Session storage	Where a sign-in code went	Until the tab closes

4.Audience measurement

We measure audience with an open-source tool on our own servers. It sets no cookie and writes nothing to your device. Rather than hide behind the word cookieless: the server hashes your IP address, user-agent and a rotating salt into a visitor identifier.

The page visited, and in which language
Where you arrived from
Screen size, browser, operating system, device
Your country, from your IP address
The rotating, non-reversible identifier above

This is the narrow case Spanish and European guidance treats as exempt: this site only, aggregate only, on our behalf alone, never passed on. We keep it 14 months, and any blocker stops it.

5.Third parties

We load none of Stripe's scripts here. Subscribing sends you to Stripe's own checkout, where it sets its cookies under its privacy policy.

Crests, logos and photographs load from media.api-sports.io. It sets no cookie, but your IP address and user-agent reach it whenever one loads.

6.Managing them

Delete or block cookies from your browser's settings:

Chrome — Privacy and security, Third-party cookies
Firefox — Privacy & Security, Cookies and Site Data
Safari — Settings, Privacy
Edge — Cookies and site permissions

Blocking ours leaves the public pages readable, but you cannot stay signed in, so accounts and subscriptions stop working.
