Privacy Policy (Maxfiylik Siyosati)

Welcome to FOOTDAY.ONLINE (https://footday.online). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting personal data in compliance with international privacy standards, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), Google Publisher Policies, and the Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan on Personal Data (ZRU-547). This Privacy Policy explains what information is collected when you visit FOOTDAY.ONLINE, how it is used, and the choices available to you.

1. Data Controller & Overview of Our Service

FOOTDAY.ONLINE operates as an independent football live score, fixture schedule, tactical analysis, and match centre platform. You can browse live scores, 14-day schedules, starting line-ups, head-to-head (H2H) records, league tables, and editorial articles without registering an account or submitting personal identification details.

2. Information Stored Locally on Your Device (Necessary Storage)

To deliver a fast, personalized user experience without requiring user accounts, FOOTDAY.ONLINE uses your browser's built-in localStorage strictly for functional preferences:

• Visual Theme Preference (fd_theme): Remembers whether you selected Comfort Dark, Soft Light, or Auto mode.
• Language Selection (fd_lang): Stores your chosen interface language (e.g., English, Uzbek, Russian, Turkish, Arabic, Spanish, etc.).
• Pinned & Saved Matches (lf_favs_v4): Keeps track of the matches you star (★) so they remain pinned in your personal view.
• Cookie Consent Record (footday.cookieConsent.v4): Stores your explicit privacy and cookie preferences.

This local data stays inside your browser and can be cleared at any time through your browser settings.

3. Automatically Collected Technical & Aggregate Telemetry

When your browser requests pages or live match updates from our Cloudflare edge network, standard non-identifying technical metadata is processed automatically to deliver content and protect against automated abuse (DDoS):

• Edge Network Routing Data: Country/region code (derived from Cloudflare edge headers) used to highlight relevant regional competitions and count aggregate, non-personal site visits.
• Browser & Device Type: Standard HTTP request headers (such as screen viewport class and language header) used to format responsive layouts.
• We do not store raw visitor IP addresses in any public or profiling database.

4. Cookies, Google AdSense & Third-Party Advertising

With your consent, FOOTDAY.ONLINE may display advertisements served by Google AdSense or direct sponsorship partners to support the free operation of our platform:

• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies (such as the Google DoubleClick DART cookie) to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to FOOTDAY.ONLINE or other websites on the internet.
• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.
• How to Opt Out: Users may opt out of personalized advertising at any time by visiting Google Ads Settings or www.aboutads.info, or by clicking Cookie Settings in the footer of FOOTDAY.ONLINE and disabling Advertising Cookies.

5. Analytics & Performance Measurement

When you grant permission for Analytics cookies via our consent banner, we may use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) (with IP anonymization enabled) or Yandex Metrika to understand aggregate traffic trends—such as which matchdays, competitions, or tactical articles are read most frequently. If you choose "Reject optional" on the cookie banner, third-party analytics scripts remain completely disabled.

6. Embedded Video Highlights (YouTube Privacy-Enhanced Mode)

Match highlight videos linked on FOOTDAY.ONLINE are embedded exclusively using YouTube's official Privacy-Enhanced Mode (https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/...) and are only loaded when you actively click a match's Video button or tab. Under Privacy-Enhanced Mode, YouTube does not store tracking cookies on your device unless you actively start playback.

7. Your Data Protection Rights (GDPR, CCPA & Global Users)

Depending on your location, you have the right to:

• Withdraw your consent for optional analytics or advertising cookies at any time via the Cookie Settings button in our footer.
• Request information about or deletion of any personal correspondence you have voluntarily sent to us via our Contact page.
• Opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

FOOTDAY.ONLINE is a general-audience sports information website and does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 (or under 16 in the European Economic Area). If you believe a child has submitted personal data to us, please contact us immediately so we can remove it.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect technical improvements, new features, or regulatory requirements. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page always indicates the current version.
