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

Types of cookies
We separate cookies by purpose so you can understand what each one does.
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.
Visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland see Google's own consent message (a Google-certified consent management platform using the IAB Transparency & Consent Framework), which lists Google and its ad technology partners and lets you accept, refuse, or choose per purpose and vendor. Everywhere else, 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 editorial pages: the Topics hub, the long-form articles and scheduling guides, the sports calendar guides, the podcast and vlog pages, the FAQ, the manual and the About page. Google display ads are excluded from the homepage, product and roster workspace pages, sign-in callbacks, billing pages, downloads, redirects, legal pages, contact pages, and app-shell pages.
Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a visitor's prior visits to this website or other websites. You can opt out of personalised advertising in Google Ads Settings or at www.aboutads.info, and read how Google uses information from sites that use its services.
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.
