Cookies & tracking
Updated 16 October 2026
Cookies are small values stored by your browser. This policy also covers similar storage and browser measurement. Necessary storage and features you request are separate from optional analytics.
Necessary storage and requested settings
These values support sign-in, the age/terms access restriction, your privacy choice and the display you request. They are not used to build advertising profiles. You can delete or block them in your browser; doing so may sign you out or require you to repeat a choice.
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
sg_session | Secure signed-in account session (HttpOnly). | Until the account session expires. |
sg_eligibility | Signed age, residence and terms declaration for requested access (HttpOnly). | Up to 180 days; update if circumstances change. |
sg_privacy | Your analytics choice and policy version (HttpOnly). | 180 days. |
sg_locale | Language of the pages you request. | Up to 1 year. |
sg_tz | Timezone used to display local kick-off times. | Up to 1 year. |
sg_island | Your requested navigation dock position. | Up to 1 year. |
sg_appearance, sg_appearance_choice | Your requested colours and appearance preset. | Up to 1 year. |
sg_tg_link_*, sg_tg_flash_* | Requested Telegram connection and one-time status messages (HttpOnly). | Connection link: 15 minutes; status: 60 seconds or until read. |
A legacy sg_color_grade value may be read during an appearance upgrade and replaced. Old appearance cookies are cleared when you save settings.
Optional Umami analytics
Only after you allow analytics does the tracker load from analytics.statsgem.com. It measures page views, referrers, device/browser information and coarse location. Umami is configured without cookies; that does not make it compulsory. We do not use advertising pixels, session replay or cross-site marketing trackers.
Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control suppress analytics even if you previously allowed it. Change your choice here through the link in every page footer. Rejecting reloads the page without the tracker and stops future measurement. Withdrawal does not affect earlier lawful processing.
Banner display
Your choice to minimise the banner is remembered as sg_consent_minimised in this tab’s sessionStorage. It changes only the display and does not declare age or consent to analytics. You can browse before agreement; signing in and subscribing require the adult-access declaration.
Other storage and external services
A service worker may cache icons, crests and the offline page in Cache Storage. It does not cache prediction or account pages. Clearing site data in your browser also clears this cache. Stripe payment pages and Telegram have their own notices and may use their own storage when you choose those services.
Security IP/access records and first-party service usage counts are processed separately on the server; they do not depend on allowing Umami. Their purposes and your rights are described in the Privacy policy.
