Cookie policy
What this website stores on your device, and how to change your choice.
Last updated 18 October 2026
Your choice
We only use what the site needs to work. Anything else, we ask first, and saying no is as easy as saying yes. You can change your mind at any time with Cookie settings at the bottom of every page, or here.
Your current choice: Checking…
Essential (always on)
These keep the site working and don't need your consent. None of them track you.
| Name | Set by | What it does | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
| stfc-consent | This site (browser storage) | Remembers your choices for videos, calendar sync and analytics. | 12 months |
| tsr-scroll-restoration-v1_3 | This site (browser storage) | Puts you back where you were on a page when you press back. | Until you close the tab |
| __dpl | Lovable (our host) | Makes sure every page you open comes from the same version of the site. | Short term |
Videos and calendar sync (only if you allow them)
These come from other companies and only load once you say yes. If you say no, videos show a button to watch on YouTube instead, and the calendar button opens ECAL's own page in a new tab.
| Name | Set by | What it does | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
| YSC, VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE, VISITOR_PRIVACY_METADATA, __Secure-YNID, __Secure-ROLLOUT_TOKEN | YouTube (Google) | Play the video, remember your player settings, and help YouTube measure and protect its service. | From the end of your visit up to about 6 months |
| yt-remote-*, ytidb* (browser storage) | YouTube (Google) | Remember player preferences such as volume and casting. | Until cleared |
| Cookies on ecal.com | ECAL | Run the "add fixtures to my calendar" window and remember your calendar choice. | Set by ECAL |

Analytics (only if you allow it)
Google Analytics helps the club see which pages are read and which devices fans use. It only loads once you say yes, and turning it off in Cookie settings stops it straight away and removes its cookies.
| Name | Set by | What it does | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics | Tells one visit from another, without your name or contact details. | 2 years |
| _ga_L197CRVL8P | Google Analytics | Keeps track of your current visit. | 2 years |
Marketing (only if you allow it)
The Meta pixel lets the club measure its Facebook and Instagram adverts: for example how many visits came from an advert. It only loads once you allow marketing cookies, and turning it off in Cookie settings stops it straight away and removes its cookie.
| Name | Set by | What it does | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
| _fbp | Meta | Tells one browser from another so Meta can link a visit to an advert. | 3 months |
| _fbc | Meta | Set when you arrive from a Facebook or Instagram advert, to say which one. | 3 months |
What we don’t use
No other advertising cookies and no other social media tracking. Our fonts, photos and videos are served from our own storage, not from Google. Unless you allow analytics, we count visits without cookies.
Managing cookies in your browser
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking the essential ones may mean the site asks for your cookie choice again on each visit.
