Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how FootyPass uses cookies and similar technologies, why they are used, and the choices available to you when using our platform.
1. Introduction and Scope
This Cookie Policy explains how FootyPass uses cookies and similar storage or access technologies when you visit or use the platform.
1.1 Purpose of This Policy
This Policy explains the purposes for which cookies and similar technologies may be used and the choices available to users.
1.2 Services Covered
This Policy applies to the FootyPass website and related online services where FootyPass uses or permits storage and access technologies.
1.3 Relationship With Privacy Policy
Where information collected through these technologies constitutes personal information, its processing is also governed by the FootyPass Privacy Policy.
1.4 Changes in Technology
The technologies used by FootyPass may change as platform functionality, security requirements, service providers, or applicable rules develop.
2. What Cookies and Similar Technologies Are
Cookies are small pieces of information that may be stored on or accessed from a device. Similar technologies can perform related functions even where they are not traditional browser cookies.
2.1 Cookies
Cookies can allow a website to recognise a browser or device, maintain a session, remember choices, or support other functionality.
2.2 Session Technologies
Some technologies operate only for the duration of a browsing session and may expire when the session or browser is closed.
2.3 Persistent Technologies
Other technologies may remain for a defined period so that information or preferences can be recognised during later visits.
2.4 Similar Technologies
Storage and access technologies can include mechanisms other than conventional cookies where they store information on or obtain information from a user device.
2.5 First and Third Parties
Technologies may be operated directly by FootyPass or by third-party providers whose services are integrated with the platform.
3. Essential and Security Technologies
FootyPass may use technologies that are necessary to provide requested services, maintain secure sessions, protect accounts, and operate core platform functionality.
3.1 Authentication
Essential technologies may be used to keep a user authenticated and provide secure access to account-protected areas of FootyPass.
3.2 Security
Technologies may support fraud prevention, account protection, request validation, abuse prevention, and other security functions.
3.3 Session Management
Session-related technologies may help FootyPass maintain continuity as a user navigates between pages and uses platform features.
3.4 User Requests
Certain technologies may be necessary to provide functionality specifically requested by a user or to transmit communications required for that functionality.
3.5 Consent Requirements
Where applicable law provides an exception for a particular essential or otherwise exempt use, FootyPass may use the relevant technology without prior consent while still providing required information about its use.
4. Preference and Functionality Technologies
FootyPass may use technologies to remember user choices or support functionality intended to make the platform more convenient and consistent.
4.1 Remembering Choices
Where used, these technologies may remember settings or choices made by a user so they do not need to be selected repeatedly.
4.2 Interface Preferences
Preferences relating to the presentation or operation of FootyPass may be stored where appropriate.
4.3 Consent Preferences
FootyPass may store a user choice concerning cookies or similar technologies so that the preference can be respected during later visits.
4.4 Applicable Choices
Where a preference or functionality technology requires consent, FootyPass will seek the required choice before using it for that non-exempt purpose.
5. Analytics and Statistical Technologies
FootyPass may use analytics or statistical technologies to understand how the platform is used, measure performance, and identify opportunities for improvement.
5.1 Usage Measurement
Analytics may help us understand matters such as page usage, feature interactions, navigation patterns, and general platform activity.
5.2 Performance Improvement
Statistical information may help FootyPass identify technical problems and improve the reliability, performance, and usability of the service.
5.3 Aggregated Information
Where possible and appropriate, statistical information may be used in aggregated or otherwise privacy-protective forms.
5.4 Statistical Exceptions
Applicable law may permit certain statistical technologies without prior consent where all requirements of the relevant legal exception are satisfied.
5.5 Right to Object Where Applicable
Where an applicable statistical exception requires users to have a simple means to object, FootyPass will provide the required mechanism.
5.6 Non-Exempt Analytics
Where an analytics technology does not qualify for an applicable exception and consent is required, FootyPass will seek consent before using it for that purpose.
6. Third-Party Technologies
Some FootyPass functionality may depend on technologies provided by third parties that support payments, security, communications, analytics, or other platform services.
6.1 Third-Party Providers
Third-party providers may use storage or access technologies when their services are integrated with FootyPass.
6.2 Payment Services
Payment providers may use technologies necessary to securely process transactions, manage fraud risk, or provide payment functionality.
6.3 Security Services
Security and anti-abuse providers may use relevant technologies to distinguish legitimate activity from automated, fraudulent, or malicious activity.
6.4 Analytics Providers
Where FootyPass uses an external analytics provider, relevant technologies will be subject to applicable consent or exemption requirements.
6.5 Third-Party Responsibilities
Third parties may also process information under their own privacy or cookie notices where they act independently of FootyPass.
7. Consent and Cookie Choices
Where consent is required for a storage or access technology, FootyPass will seek an appropriate user choice before using that technology for the relevant purpose.
7.1 Active Consent
Where required, consent must result from a clear and positive user choice rather than being assumed merely from continued use of FootyPass.
7.2 Rejecting Non-Essential Technologies
Where consent is required, users should be able to decline the relevant non-essential technologies.
7.3 Changing Your Choice
Where applicable, users may change or withdraw a previously given cookie choice through the controls provided by FootyPass.
7.4 Withdrawal of Consent
Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred while valid consent was in place.
7.5 Exempt Technologies
Technologies falling within an applicable legal exception may not require consent, although FootyPass will provide information about their relevant purposes as required.
7.6 Equal Access to Choices
FootyPass aims to present applicable acceptance and refusal choices clearly and without making refusal unnecessarily difficult.
8. Browser and Device Controls
Browsers and devices may provide additional settings that allow users to inspect, block, restrict, or remove cookies and other stored information.
8.1 Browser Settings
Most browsers provide settings for managing or deleting cookies, although available controls differ between browsers and versions.
8.2 Deleting Stored Information
Users may be able to remove cookies or other locally stored information through browser or device settings.
8.3 Blocking Technologies
Browser or device settings may allow certain technologies to be restricted or blocked.
8.4 Effect on FootyPass
Blocking or deleting essential technologies may cause authentication, security, preferences, or other FootyPass functionality to operate incorrectly or become unavailable.
9. Duration and Retention
The length of time a cookie or similar technology remains active depends on its purpose, configuration, and whether it operates for a session or for a longer defined period.
9.1 Session Duration
Some technologies are designed to operate only during a browsing or authenticated session and may expire when that session ends.
9.2 Persistent Duration
Persistent technologies may remain for a specified period unless removed earlier through user controls or replaced by an updated value.
9.3 Purpose-Based Retention
FootyPass aims to retain information collected through these technologies only for as long as reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose and applicable requirements.
9.4 Third-Party Duration
Where a third party controls a technology, its retention period may be determined by that provider subject to applicable contractual and legal requirements.
