Cookie Policy

Learn how FotLive utilizes cookies and similar technologies to enhance your experience.

This Cookie Policy explains how FotLive ("we", "our", or "us") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website at fotlive.net. Our goal is to be transparent about what data we collect, how it is used, and how you can control it.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files containing unique identifiers that are downloaded to your browser or device when you visit a website. They allow the server to recognize your device on subsequent visits, enabling features such as automatic logins, custom layouts, and traffic analytics. Cookies do not harm your device and do not run programs or transmit viruses.

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for essential functional purposes, preference management, performance testing, and ad delivery. Unfortunately, there are no industry-standard options to disable cookies without turning off the essential functions they provide to this website. Therefore, it is highly recommended to keep cookies enabled to ensure a smooth, uninterrupted browsing experience.

3. How to Disable Cookies

You can prevent cookies from being saved by adjusting your browser settings (usually found under "Settings", "Preferences", or "Privacy" menus). Please note that disabling cookies will negatively affect the functionality and styling of FotLive, as well as many other websites you visit. Deactivating cookies typically blocks features like language preservation, login sessions, and personalized live score tickers.

4. First-Party Cookies We Set

We set several essential cookies to manage your active sessions and personalize the platform:

Authentication & Logins

We store a secure token when you log in to remember your session. This avoids the need to enter your username and password on every page transition. These cookies are automatically destroyed or cleared when you log out.

User Preferences

To deliver a personalized dashboard, we use cookies to cache your layout selections, timezone settings, favorite teams, preferred leagues, and dark mode configuration.

5. Third-Party Cookies We Set

In addition to our own systems, we work with trusted external service providers to analyze usage and support our platform financially:

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics cookies to monitor website performance, count visitor sessions, analyze user navigation paths, and identify page load errors. This helps us optimize user pathways and deliver more engaging articles.

Google AdSense & DoubleClick

Our advertising systems use DoubleClick cookies to serve relevant, personalized advertisements across the platform. This limits how often a specific advertisement is shown to you and measures ad effectiveness. You can manage or disable personalized ads in Google Ads Settings.

Interface Cohort Testing

We periodically run subtle design updates and user experiments. Cookies are used to place you in consistent testing groups, ensuring a coherent aesthetic and layout experience while we gather user feedback.

6. More Information

As previously mentioned, if there is a cookie you are unsure about needing, it is generally safer to keep cookies enabled. This prevents the loss of custom settings or active login states on the website.
