What Data We Collect
Server Logs
Like all websites, our hosting provider (Vercel, Inc., USA) automatically records basic access logs — IP address, browser type, pages visited, and time of visit. These logs are retained for a short period for security and debugging purposes and are not used to build user profiles. Vercel's processing is governed by their Privacy Policy.
Analytics
We use Vercel Analytics to understand how visitors find and use the site. Data is aggregated and anonymous — no individual user profiles are built.
Advertising
This site displays ads served by Google AdSense(Google LLC, USA). Google may use cookies and similar technologies to show you ads based on your interests and previous browsing activity. For users in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland, Google's Consent Management Platform (CMP) will ask for your consent before any personalised advertising cookies are set. If you do not consent, you may still see non-personalised ads. Google's data processing is governed by Google's Privacy Policy.
Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)
Server security logs — necessary to operate the site safely.
Anonymous analytics — understanding aggregate site usage.
Personalised advertising cookies — only placed after you consent via the Google CMP.

Managing cookies
EEA, UK, and Swiss users can change or withdraw their advertising consent at any time via the Google consent banner. All users can block or delete cookies via their browser settings. Refusing cookies does not affect access to the sports content — all articles remain freely accessible.
