Cookies

We do use cookies to store information which is used to serve you content based on your personal preferences and/or previous visits to our site. For instance, if you make adjustments on the settings page (e.g. selecting your favourite team), a cookie to identify your browser is used to load these settings the next time you visit our site. These cookies are required to provide the functionality of our website and not for tracking purposes.

While using our site you may also receive cookies from YouTube (owned by Google) and Twitter — but only if you consent to receive such cookies by accepting the respective third party’s terms of service.

  • When you vote on a game we store your IP address.
  • When you sign up for a membership account we store your chosen name/pseudonym and email address. Whenever you log in to your account we store the IP address the request was made from.
