- One necessary cookie —
era.sid— keeps you signed in for 7 days. - A little local storage remembers interface preferences. It never leaves your browser.
- No advertising cookies, no third-party analytics trackers, no session recording.
- Blocking cookies signs you out but leaves public league pages working.
- If we ever add analytics, this page changes first and we ask for consent where the law requires it.
This summary is here to be readable. The sections below are the ones that count.
1What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file a website asks your browser to keep and hand back on the next request. It is how a site remembers that the person loading this page is the same person who typed a password on the last one. Similar technologies — local storage, session storage — keep small values in the browser without sending them back to the server at all.
This policy covers raliera.com and the Raliera app. It sits alongside our Privacy policy, which explains what we do with information generally.
2What Raliera actually uses
Short list, on purpose.
Strictly necessary
| Name | What it does | Lasts |
|---|---|---|
| era.sid | Keeps you signed in. Holds a signed session identifier — no name, no email, no league data. Set only after you log in, and marked HttpOnly, Secure and SameSite=Lax so other sites and page scripts cannot read it. | 7 days, refreshed while you are active |
| Security tokens | Short-lived values used to protect forms and logins against cross-site request forgery. | The browsing session |
These cannot be switched off without breaking the ability to log in, so no consent banner asks you about them — the law does not require consent for cookies that are strictly necessary to deliver a service you asked for.
Preferences, kept in your browser
| What | What it does | Lasts |
|---|---|---|
| Local storage keys | Remember interface choices — a dismissed notice, a selected view or tab, a display setting on a club screen. These stay in your browser and are not sent to us. | Until you clear your browser data |
What we do not use
- No advertising cookies. Raliera carries no advertising and no retargeting pixels.
- No third-party analytics trackers at the time of this policy's effective date — no Google Analytics, no Meta pixel, no session recording.
- No cross-site tracking and no sale or sharing of anything a cookie collects.
3Requests to other companies
Two things load from outside our own servers, and both are worth naming even though neither sets a tracking cookie:
- Web fonts. Some pages request a stylesheet from Google Fonts. That request tells Google your IP address and browser, as any request to any server does. Our typeface itself is served from our own domain.
- Embedded content. If a club embeds a video or a map on its league page, that provider may set its own cookies. Their policy governs it, not ours.
4How to control cookies
Every browser lets you see the cookies a site has set, delete them, and block new ones:
- Chrome — Settings › Privacy and security › Third-party cookies
- Safari — Settings › Privacy
- Firefox — Settings › Privacy & Security
- Edge — Settings › Cookies and site permissions
Blocking or clearing our session cookie signs you out and keeps you signed out. Everything public — league pages, standings, the marketing site — still works fine without it.
Private or incognito windows discard cookies when you close them, which is a reasonable way to use a shared club computer.
5If we add analytics later
We may one day add privacy-respecting analytics to understand which features get used. If we do, we will update this policy first, name the tool here, and — where the law requires consent, such as in the EEA and the UK — ask you before anything non-essential is set. We will not quietly bolt on an advertising tracker.
6Changes and contact
The effective date at the top tells you which version you are reading. Material changes get notice the same way as changes to our Privacy policy.
