Cookie Policy
Last updated: March 19, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Futbolpals.com ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit or use the Futbolpals.com website and platform (the "Service"). It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and your choices regarding their use.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give site operators useful information. Cookies can be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them).
2. Cookies We Use
We use a minimal set of cookies, all of which are necessary for the Service to function or to remember your preferences. We do not use any advertising, marketing, or behavioral tracking cookies.
2.1 Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the Service to operate. Without them, core functionality such as authentication would not work.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
sb-*-auth-token | Supabase authentication session. Keeps you signed in and secures your requests. | Session / up to 7 days |
fp_site_access | Site access gate. Used during beta or private access periods to verify you have entered the site password. | Session |
2.2 Functional Cookies
These cookies remember your preferences and enhance your experience but are not strictly required for the Service to operate.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
NEXT_LOCALE | Stores your preferred language (e.g., English or Spanish) so pages load in the correct language. | Persistent (1 year) |
sidebar_state | Remembers whether the navigation sidebar is open or collapsed. | 7 days |
3. Third-Party Cookies
We use Cloudflare Turnstile on our signup page to protect against automated abuse. Turnstile may set cookies or use browser signals to distinguish human users from bots. These cookies are set by Cloudflare and are subject to Cloudflare's Privacy Policy. They are only loaded on the signup page and are not used for tracking or advertising.
No other third-party cookies are used. We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any advertising network cookies.
4. How to Manage Cookies
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically:
- View what cookies are stored on your device.
- Delete some or all cookies.
- Block all cookies or only third-party cookies.
- Configure your browser to notify you when a cookie is set.
Please note that if you block or delete essential cookies, the Service may not function properly — for example, you may be unable to stay signed in.

5. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. For material changes (such as adding new categories of cookies), we will provide notice through the Service. Your continued use of the Service after the changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
