Cookie Policy

Last Updated: March 2026 Version: 1.0

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide information to site owners. We also use browser local storage, which serves a similar purpose.


2. How We Use Cookies and Local Storage

SportChartz uses cookies and local storage for three purposes: essential functionality, user preferences, and analytics. We only load analytics cookies after you provide consent.

5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

Change Your Consent

You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the cookie settings link in the footer of the Service, which will reopen the CookieYes consent banner.

Browser Settings

You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

  • View what cookies are stored

  • Delete individual or all cookies

  • Block cookies from specific or all sites

  • Set preferences for first-party vs third-party cookies

Note that blocking essential cookies may prevent the Service from functioning correctly.

How to Manage Cookies in Common Browsers

  • Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies

  • Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data

  • Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data

  • Edge: Settings > Cookies and Site Permissions

Clear Local Storage

To clear functional preferences (chart settings, filters), you can clear your browser’s local storage:

  • Open browser developer tools (F12)

  • Go to the Application or Storage tab

  • Select Local Storage and clear the entries for the SportChartz domain


6. Do Not Track

Some browsers send a “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal. There is no industry standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. We do not currently respond to DNT signals, but we do not load analytics cookies without your explicit consent regardless of DNT settings.


7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. When we do:

  • We will update the “Last Updated” date and version number at the top of this page

  • If we add new categories of cookies or change how we use existing ones, we will reset your consent preferences and ask you to consent again
