Cookie Policy
Effective date: April 21, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how SoccerPortalX (“we”, “us”), operated by PXII Studio Canada Inc., uses cookies, localStorage, and similar technologies when you visit soccerportalx.com. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files a website places on your device to remember your preferences, keep you signed in, measure traffic, or serve more relevant advertising. “Similar technologies” refers to mechanisms such as localStorage, sessionStorage, IndexedDB, pixel tags, and web beacons that serve equivalent purposes.
2. Cookie categories we use
Essential (always on)
Required for the Service to work. Examples: remembering your language and dark-mode preference, session identifiers, cookie-consent state so we don't re-prompt you every page load.
Analytics (consent-gated)
Google Analytics 4 (G-VXXL2Q4SV6) helps us understand which pages are popular and how users navigate the Service. IP addresses are anonymized. See Google's partner-site policy.
Advertising (consent-gated)
Google AdSense (publisher ID ca-pub-4175394733996108) and Google-approved advertisers use cookies to show you more relevant ads, measure ad performance, and prevent fraud. See how Google uses advertising cookies.
Personalization (opt-in)
To remember your favorite teams, saved matches, or reading preferences if you opt in. Stored locally in your browser (localStorage) and never shared with third parties.
3. Third-party cookies
The following third parties may set cookies when you use the Service:
- Google AdSense — advertising. Opt out via Google Ad Settings or aboutads.info.
- Google Analytics 4 — analytics. Install the Google Analytics Opt-out Add-on.
- Google Funding Choices (CMP) — consent management for EU/UK/Swiss visitors, certified to IAB TCF v2.2.
- Hostinger — our hosting provider; may set essential cookies for session and security (never for tracking).
Team crests, player images, and league logos shown in match widgets are delivered directly by our licensed sports data partners; those requests are server-to-server and do not set cookies in your browser.
4. Consent and how to manage cookies
If you visit from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, a consent banner (Google's certified Funding Choices CMP) appears on your first visit so you can accept, reject, or customize non-essential cookies. Elsewhere, a lightweight banner offers the same control. Either banner can be reopened at any time from the footer of the Service.
You can also manage cookies directly in your browser:
Blocking essential cookies may break parts of the Service (e.g. the site may repeatedly ask for consent, or forget your theme/language choice).
5. Do Not Track & Global Privacy Control
We honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal where it is sent: the Service treats GPC as a valid opt-out from sale/sharing of personal information for advertising purposes under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA) and similar US state laws. Traditional Do Not Track headers are no longer widely supported by the industry and are not used as a legal opt-out.
6. Cookie retention
Essential and preference cookies typically expire between 30 days and 12 months. Advertising and analytics cookies set by Google follow Google's own retention schedule, which you can review in their policies linked above. You can clear cookies at any time from your browser settings.
7. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when our cookie usage or applicable law changes. We will revise the “Effective date” above and, for material changes, surface a notice on the Service.
