COOKIE POLICY
Last updated: March 2026
OUR APPROACH
FCFinder uses as few cookies as possible. We do not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or third-party scripts that follow you across the web. We use Google Analytics solely to understand how the site is being used in aggregate — for example, which counties and clubs are most popular.
COOKIES WE SET
The following cookies may be set when you use FCFinder:
| Cookie | Purpose | Expires |
|---|---|---|
| sb-auth-token | Keeps you logged in to your club dashboard. Only set if you create an account or log in. | Session / 7 days |
| _ga | Google Analytics — distinguishes unique visitors. No personally identifiable information is stored. | 2 years |
| _ga_* | Google Analytics — maintains session state for analytics reporting. | 2 years |
GOOGLE ANALYTICS
We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to collect anonymous usage data — pages visited, time on site, and general location (country/region level only). This helps us improve FCFinder.
Google Analytics does not receive your name, email address, or any information that identifies you personally. IP addresses are anonymised before storage.
You can opt out of Google Analytics across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
LOCAL STORAGE
We use your browser's local storage (not a cookie) to remember your last searched location so you don't have to re-enter your postcode on every visit. This data never leaves your device.
You can clear this at any time by clicking “Change” in the search bar, or by clearing your browser's site data.
