Cookie Policy

Effective date: 5 October 2026

This page explains cookies and similar browser storage on Soccer stats research. For questions, contact socstatrez@ukr.net. Our Privacy Policy describes the wider handling of information.

Login, security and preferences

WordPress may use a test cookie to check whether your browser accepts cookies, authentication cookies when you log in, and preference cookies for account or editor settings. Names can include wordpress_test_cookie, wordpress_logged_in_, wordpress_sec_, wp-settings- and wp-settings-time-, with installation-specific suffixes. These support requested account functions and security. Login cookies can be session-based or persist when you select Remember Me; preference cookies can remain longer. Security features may also use cookies to protect authentication.

If a comment form offers to remember your details and you choose that option, WordPress may store your name, email and website in comment_author cookies for later comments. You can decline that choice without saving those details.

Website statistics

Our WP Statistics configuration does not set analytics cookies. It uses our own database with masked and hashed IP identifiers, disables account-linked browsing history and full user-agent storage, and honors browser Do Not Track signals. We have not installed Google Analytics on the site. Cookieless measurements still involve information processing, as explained in the Privacy Policy.

External content and links

Some pages load external football.ddns.net content, and account or comment avatars may load from Gravatar. These providers receive connection information and may use their own cookies or browser storage. Their practices are governed by their policies. Following a PayPal or other external link takes you to that provider’s service. Our website fonts are served locally.

Your controls

You can inspect, block or delete cookies using your browser settings, and enable Do Not Track. Blocking authentication cookies can prevent login. To avoid external resources on a particular page, use your browser’s content controls. We do not use a general advertising-cookie acceptance banner for the current configuration; this does not grant permission for undisclosed future tracking. Additional tracking or external services will require a separate assessment and consent controls where applicable.
