Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the website remember your preferences and improve your browsing experience.

Your Consent

When you first visit TipsYe, a cookie consent banner is displayed at the bottom of the page. By clicking "Accept," you consent to the use of cookies and local storage as described in this policy. Your consent preference is stored in your browser's local storage for 1 year.

If you do not accept cookies, essential site functionality (such as theme and language preferences) may still use local storage for basic operation, as these are strictly necessary for the Service to function.

How TipsYe Uses Cookies and Local Storage

TipsYe uses a minimal set of cookies and browser local storage to provide essential functionality:

Essential Storage

• Theme Preference — We store your light/dark mode preference in local storage so the site displays in your chosen theme on return visits.
• Language Preference — Your selected language is remembered to provide a consistent experience.
• Favorite Team — When you select a favorite team, this choice is stored in local storage with a 1-year expiry. This allows us to highlight your team's matches and show upcoming fixture information.
• View Preferences — Your preferred match view mode (card or compact) is stored locally.
• Cookie Consent — Your acceptance of this cookie policy is stored in local storage for 1 year.

Functional Cookies

• Match Favorites — Individual match favorites (star icons) are stored in local storage to persist across page visits.
• Session Data — Standard session cookies may be used for basic site functionality.

What We Do NOT Use

TipsYe currently does not use:

• Third-party advertising cookies
• Cross-site tracking cookies
• Analytics cookies that collect personally identifiable information
• Social media tracking pixels
• Marketing or retargeting cookies

Data Stored Locally

All preference data (theme, language, favorite team, view mode, cookie consent) is stored exclusively in your browser's local storage. This data never leaves your device and is not transmitted to our servers. TipsYe does not collect, store, or process any personal data on its servers.

Managing Your Preferences

You can manage or delete stored data at any time:

• Favorite Team: Click the "Remove" button on the favorite team card on the homepage
• Theme: Toggle the theme button in the navigation bar
• Cookie Consent: Clear your browser's local storage to reset your consent preference; the banner will reappear on your next visit
• All Data: Clear your browser's local storage and cookies through your browser settings

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
