Cookie Policy

This page explains the cookies and similar technologies used on the public website, the marketing pages, and the app login flow.

Last reviewed 26 July 2026.

Types of cookies

We separate cookies by purpose so you can understand what each one does.

Essential

Required for navigation, security, forms, and remembering whether you are signed in or have dismissed notices.

Analytics

Help us understand which pages people read, which guides are useful, and where the site can be improved.

Advertising

Used to support free content and, when enabled, to serve and measure ads on the public website.

How consent works

Visitors can choose whether non-essential cookies are used.

When you first visit the website, a cookie banner lets you accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can also revisit this policy and update your choice at any time. Declining non-essential cookies does not stop essential cookies that are needed for the site to work.

The website sets Google's consent mode to denied by default for ad storage, ad user data, ad personalisation, and analytics storage. If you accept cookies, that state is updated so eligible public content pages can use analytics and advertising features. If you decline, the preference is stored so the site does not keep asking on every page view.

Advertising and third parties

When ads are enabled, third-party ad vendors may place cookies or similar identifiers in accordance with their own policies.

For the public website, we may use Google AdSense and related measurement tools. Google and its partners may use cookies to show, measure, and improve ads. Ad serving is limited to substantial public content pages such as the homepage, Topics hub, use-case pages, scheduling guides, and sports calendar guides. Google display ads are excluded from sign-in callbacks, billing transaction pages, private roster workspaces, redirects, legal pages, contact pages, and app-shell pages.

The site also hosts `ads.txt` and `app-ads.txt` at the root domain to identify authorised Google advertising relationships for the website and mobile apps.

Default off

Non-essential advertising and analytics storage starts denied until the visitor makes a cookie choice.

Public content only

Eligible ad slots belong to useful public guides, Topics pages, and use-case articles, not account workflows.

Examples of cookies and local storage

The exact names can change as providers update their services, but the purposes stay consistent.

Roster Champion preferences

We may store your cookie choice, anonymous website visitor identifier, display preferences, or basic app state. These help the site remember your choices and reduce repeated prompts.

Provider identifiers

Google or other providers may use cookies, local storage, or device identifiers for analytics, advertising measurement, abuse prevention, and sign-in flows, depending on your consent choice and account state.

Managing cookies

You have control over browser-level and site-level cookie settings.

  • Use the site banner to accept or decline non-essential cookies.
  • Clear cookies through your browser if you want to reset preferences.
  • Adjust ad and tracking preferences in your browser or Google account.
  • Read the Privacy Policy for more detail on personal data handling.
