Cookie Policy
Last updated: June 2026
Cookie categories
1. Strictly Necessary
Required for the site to function. Always active — no consent needed under UK GDPR / PECR.
- Stripe payment processing cookies (set only during checkout)
- Session and UI preferences stored in local storage (e.g.
cookie_consent)
2. Analytics
Only active if you choose "Accept All", or enable Analytics under "Customise", on the cookie banner.
- Google Analytics 4:
_ga,_ga_L9TRX9ZZQ6 - Used to measure traffic and understand which fixtures and predictions are most useful, so we can improve the site.
- We do not use analytics cookies for profiling or cross-site tracking.
3. Advertising
Only active if you choose "Accept All", or enable Advertising under "Customise", on the cookie banner. Off by default.
- Some pages carry affiliate links to retail partners such as Amazon UK. If you click one of these links, the retailer may set a cookie so the visit can be attributed to FootyPulse and we can be paid a commission.
- With Advertising consent switched off, this attribution tracking is not loaded at all — nothing is requested from the partner.
- We never sell your personal data, and no commercial partner has any influence on our predictions or editorial.
