Cookie Policy

Cookies are small pieces of data stored in your browser. This page explains which ones Beyond The Final Whistle uses and why.

Essential cookies

These are required for the site to function and can't be turned off:

• Sign-in session. If you have a reader account or a CMS account, a secure cookie keeps you signed in between visits.
• Theme preference. Remembers whether you've chosen light or dark mode.

Analytics cookies

We use Google Analytics to understand how the site is used in aggregate — which pages are popular, how people navigate the site, and where things could be improved. This helps us make editorial and product decisions; it is not used to identify you personally.

Managing cookies

Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings. Blocking essential cookies will affect site functionality — for example, you'll be signed out and your theme preference won't be remembered.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the cookies we use change. The "last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent change.
