Site policy
Cookie policy
This policy explains cookies and similar browser storage on showscoopteamtons.cyou, the controls available to you and what happens when you save a choice.
Cookies and similar technologies
A cookie is a small value stored by a browser that can be sent with later requests to the relevant website. Local storage is a separate browser feature that allows a website to save values on your device. Local storage is not automatically attached to network requests in the way cookies are. Rules governing information stored on a device can apply to both technologies.
This website uses local storage for its cookie preference control. The responsible publisher is Ternfold Sports Economics Ltd., 14 Brindlewick Lane, Kelham, Sheffield, S3 8QH, United Kingdom.
Storage categories
The table distinguishes the essential preference record from categories that would require a separate purpose and, where required, consent. The website does not set analytics cookies, advertising identifiers or optional functional cookies.
| Category | Storage and purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | showscoopteamtons-consent in local storage. Saves your choice and its expiry timestamp on this device. | Honoured for 180 days; replaced when you save another choice. |
| Analytics | The site does not create visitor-measurement cookies or use Google Analytics or Google Tag Manager. | No analytics record is written to your browser. |
| Functional | The site does not persist optional personalisation, saved reading lists or contact-form entries. | No optional functional record is written to your browser. |
The essential record does not contain a unique advertising identifier, your name, your email address or your message. It stays within browser storage for this site and is not sent to an analytics service.
Using the banner
“Accept All” saves an acceptance choice for the categories offered. “Reject Non-Essential” saves a rejection of optional storage. “Preferences” opens the settings panel inside the banner. Since the site offers only essential preference storage, all three routes leave the same essential functionality available; accepting does not activate additional tracking.
The essential option is shown as enabled because it is used to remember the choice you request. You can read the site without making a selection. The banner remains available until you save a choice, and it may appear again if your browser cannot retain that choice.
Changing or deleting a choice
Use “Cookie settings” in any page footer to reopen the panel and save a different choice. Choices apply only to the browser and device where you make them. They are not synchronised across devices or accounts.
After 180 days, the script treats the stored record as expired and shows the banner again. Local storage has no automatic browser expiry, so an old record may physically remain until you replace it or clear site data. An expired record is not used to suppress the choices.
Browser opt-out controls
You can remove the record by clearing this domain’s cookies and site data in your browser’s privacy settings. Chrome and Edge provide site-data controls, Firefox provides cookies and site-data management, and Safari provides website-data management. Menu wording varies by browser and device; use your browser’s help page if needed.
Blocking storage may make the banner return on subsequent pages. Private browsing can discard the record when the private session ends. Deleting browser data does not delete emails you have already sent to us. Contact-form text is not saved by this site, although browser autofill and your email app may retain information under their own settings.
External services and policy changes
Following a source link takes you to another website whose storage practices are governed by its own policy. Opening an email draft also involves your chosen email application. Neither action gives those services permission to place an analytics tag on this website.
The UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations and applicable data protection law govern our use of storage technologies. If we introduce an optional category, we will describe its purpose and seek consent where required before using it. For questions, email [email protected]. Our privacy policy explains broader information handling and your rights.
