Cookie Policy
Last reviewed 30 July 2026 · PlayObserve
We keep cookies to a minimum — the site should feel like reading a good newspaper, not being followed around one. Here's the short, honest list of what we set and how to control it.
Essential cookies
A couple of small files keep the basics working: remembering that you dismissed the cookie banner, holding your session if you're signed in as a member, and helping the form submit safely. These can't be switched off without breaking the site, and they don't track you across the web.
Analytics cookies (optional)
If you accept them, we set privacy-conscious analytics cookies that tell us which reports get read and how people move through the site. We look at this in aggregate to decide what to cover next — never to identify you personally or to sell your behaviour to anyone.
What we don't use
No advertising cookies, no cross-site trackers, no third-party ad pixels. We don't run programmatic ads, so there's nothing here quietly profiling you for a marketplace.
Your choices
The banner on your first visit lets you accept everything or keep to essentials only, and your choice is remembered. You can change your mind by clearing this site's cookies in your browser, which brings the banner back. Every major browser also lets you block or delete cookies entirely from its privacy settings; doing so won't stop you reading, though it may reset small preferences.
Questions
If you want to know precisely what a given cookie does, ask — write to [email protected] and we'll tell you plainly. This policy sits alongside our privacy policy, which covers the wider picture of how we handle your data.
