Cookie and Storage Notice

Cookies we set

jwt — your sign-in token. Without it you cannot stay signed in or join a match. It is HTTP-only, so page scripts cannot read it, and it lasts 30 days, renewed each time the game checks who you are.

preferred_language — remembers the language you picked, so the site does not switch back on your next visit. It lasts a year.

Local storage

A few small things are kept in the browser's localStorage, none of them about you and none of them read by anyone but this site: preferred_language, a mirror of your language choice so it survives the cookie being cleared; cookie_consent, that you have read this notice, and when; soccerankia:install-dismissed, that you closed the offer to install the game as an app; soccerankia:sound, whether you switched the stadium sound off; soccerankia:push-dismissed, that you closed the offer of match notifications so it is not offered again; and one flag per Career season, soccerankia.career.championSeen.<season>, that the champion banner has been shown so it is not shown twice.

None of it leaves your device, none of it identifies you, and clearing the site's data in your browser removes all of it. Nothing else is written there. Switching notifications on puts one more thing on the device, in a store of the browser's own rather than in localStorage: the subscription described in the privacy notice, an address and two keys, which goes when you switch them off.

The service worker also keeps a copy of the game's own pages, scripts and images in the browser's Cache Storage so the game opens quickly on a slow connection. It never caches anything from /api, so nothing about you or your matches is in it, and each new build of the game replaces it.

What we do not use

No analytics, no advertising, no social media pixels, no A/B testing tools, no session recording, and no third-party fonts or scripts: the one typeface is served from our own server. The Content Security Policy the site sends allows scripts, styles and fonts from this site only, so a third-party script could not load even by mistake.

Why there is nothing to accept or refuse

Both cookies above are strictly necessary to deliver the game you asked for, which is exactly the case in which consent is not required — and, for the same reason, not something we can offer. The one optional thing on your device is a notification subscription, and it is switched on and off on your character's page rather than here. Nothing this notice covers is optional, so a notice with an Accept and a Refuse button would be offering a choice that changes nothing.

The notice you saw on your first visit therefore has one button. It records that you have read it, on your device only, and nothing about the game behaves differently either way.
