Cookie Policy
Last updated: 6 June 2026
Cookies are small files stored on your device. We use them sparingly — some are essential for the site to work, and others only load with your consent.
Essential cookies
These are always on because the site cannot function without them. They are not used for tracking or advertising.
- Authentication session — keeps you signed in to your account.
- Timezone preference — shows kickoff times in your local time.
- Consent choice — remembers your cookie preferences so we do not ask on every visit.
Analytics cookies
With your consent, we use analytics (such as Google Analytics) to understand how the site is used so we can improve it. These cookies are consent-gated — they are not set unless you opt in.
Advertising cookies
We may add advertising in the future. Any advertising cookies (for example from Google AdSense) will also be consent-gated and will not load unless you opt in.
Changing your consent
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by reopening our consent management platform (CMP) from the site. You can also clear cookies in your browser settings; note that clearing the essential cookies will sign you out and reset your preferences. For more on how we handle data, see our Privacy Policy.
