This Cookies Policy describes how Almanacstats LLC ("Almanacstats", "we", "us") uses cookies and similar identifier technologies on the website almanacstats.com and our mobile applications (together, the "Platform"). It complements the Privacy Policy.
For users in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom this Policy is the notice required by the ePrivacy Directive (2002/58/EC, as amended) and the Croatian Electronic Communications Act.
1. What is a cookie
A cookie is a small text file stored by your browser when you visit a website. Similar identifiers include localStorage and sessionStorage entries, IndexedDB keys, mobile advertising IDs (Apple IDFA, Google AAID), software development kit (SDK) identifiers, and server-side fingerprints. We treat all of these technologies under the same consent regime described below.
2. Categories of cookies we use
We classify cookies into four categories. Only strictly necessary cookies are set by default. The other categories require your explicit consent through the consent banner shown on first visit and accessible at any time from the Cookies link in the footer.
2.1 Strictly necessary
These cookies make the Platform work. Without them you cannot log in, save preferences, or receive a stable session. They are exempt from the consent requirement under Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive.
Examples: session identifier, CSRF token, language preference, consent state itself, load-balancer affinity.
2.2 Performance and analytics
These cookies help us understand how the Platform is used in aggregate — page views, journey paths, error rates, performance metrics. They use anonymised or pseudonymised identifiers and are not used to address you individually.
Where the provider may receive personal data (for example, IP address before anonymisation), we ask for consent. We currently use:
- Plausible / Matomo / Cloudflare Web Analytics (replace with your actual stack);
- Sentry for client-side error reporting;
- our own first-party logging.
2.3 Functional and personalisation
These cookies remember choices you make to enhance your experience — favourites, time zone, dark or light theme, recently viewed teams, notification preferences.
2.4 Advertising and partner
These cookies are set by us or by advertising partners to show ads that may be relevant to your interests, measure their effectiveness and limit how often you see the same advert. They may track your interaction across third-party sites and within partner ecosystems.
Where partners are part of the IAB Transparency and Consent Framework v2.2, the consent string is communicated to them in line with TCF rules.
3. Detailed cookie table

4. Managing your preferences
You can:
- accept or reject categories of cookies in the consent banner shown on first visit;
- change those choices at any time by opening the Cookies link in the footer;
- block all cookies through your browser settings (note that this may break login and other features);
- reset your advertising identifier in iOS or Android settings;
- opt out from third-party ad personalisation through the relevant industry tools:
- youronlinechoices.eu (EU)
- aboutads.info/choices (US)
- optout.networkadvertising.org (US)
- global-privacy-control.org (browser signal honoured for all visitors)
We honour the Global Privacy Control signal as a valid opt-out for advertising and analytics on a per-browser basis.
5. Mobile applications
On our mobile applications we ask, on first launch, whether you allow personalised advertising. On iOS we follow the App Tracking Transparency framework — if you decline, we do not access your IDFA. On Android we respect the limit-ad-tracking flag.
Push notifications are turned off by default and require an explicit OS-level opt-in.
6. Updates
We update this Policy when we add or remove cookies, when vendors change, or when the law requires further disclosure. The "Last updated" date at the top of the page reflects the most recent revision.
