1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences and provide a better user experience.
NotFootball uses cookies for authentication, preferences, and analytics. This policy explains what cookies we use and how you can control them.
2. Cookies We Use
2.1 Essential Cookies (Required)
These cookies are necessary for the website to function. You cannot opt out of these cookies.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| sb-*-auth-token | Supabase authentication token | Session / 1 year |
| sb-*-auth-token-code-verifier | PKCE security for authentication | Session |
2.2 Functional (Essential local storage)
These items are stored in your browser's local storage (not cookies) and never sent to our servers.
| Key | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| nfcc_cookie_consent | Stores your cookie consent preferences so we don't ask again | Until cleared |
| view_session_id | Random session identifier for counting unique article views without tracking you personally | Browser session |
2.3 Analytics (Optional — consent required)
These tools help us understand how visitors use our website so we can improve it. They are only activated after you give consent. No analytics data is collected if you decline.
| Service | Purpose | Data Sent |
|---|---|---|
| Vercel Speed Insights | Core Web Vitals and page load performance | Device type, page URL, timing data. No personal identifiers. |
2.4 Error Monitoring (Legitimate interest)
We use Sentry to capture application errors so we can fix bugs. This is necessary to keep the site working correctly and is used under legitimate interest. Error reports are filtered to remove cookies, authentication headers, and other personal data before transmission. Session replay (video-style recording) is only enabled if you have accepted analytics consent.
| Service | Purpose | Data Sent |
|---|---|---|
| Sentry | JavaScript error tracking and crash reporting | Error stack traces, browser/OS version. Auth tokens and cookies are stripped before sending. |

We also use browser local storage (similar to cookies but with no expiration):
- view_session_id: Track unique article views (privacy-friendly session tracking). Stored in sessionStorage — cleared when you close the browser tab.
