Our website uses cookies to distinguish you from other users of our website. This helps us to provide you with a good experience when you browse our website and also allows us to improve our site.

A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers that we store on your browser or the hard drive of your computer if you agree. Cookies contain information that is transferred to your computer's hard drive.

We use the following cookies:

Strictly necessary cookies: These are cookies that are required for the operation of our website. These essential cookies are always enabled because our website won’t work properly without them. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to log into secure areas of our website. You can switch off these cookies in your browser settings, but you may then not be able to access all or parts of our website.
Analytical or performance cookies: These allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our website when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way our website works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily.
Functionality cookies: These are used to recognise you when you return to our website. This enables us to personalise our content for you, greet you by name and remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language or region).
Targeting cookies: These cookies record your visit to our website, the pages you have visited, and the links you have followed. We will use this information to make our website and the advertising displayed on it more relevant to your interests. (We may also share this information with third parties for this purpose so that they can serve you with relevant advertising on their websites.)

You can find more information about the individual cookies we use and the purposes for which we use them in the table below:

Cookie Title & Cookie Name	Cookie Name & Purpose	More information
Strictly Necessary Cookies: Sessionid Csrftoken	1. Sessionid: (Handles user login session) A session cookie is a small piece of data generated by the SportScore server and stored temporarily in your web browser. Its primary purpose is to maintain your state and identity during a single, continuous visit to the platform. This cookie is strictly necessary for: (User authentication and session management (the most important use) (When you log in to SportScore successfully, the server creates a unique session ID and sends it to your browser as a cookie.)) (Preserving your personalization and preferences (The cookie helps the server remember your specific settings for the duration of your visit.)) (Maintaining your active interactions (As you navigate the site, the session cookie ties your actions together into a single, coherent experience.)) (Security and access control (The session cookie acts as a temporary, secure key.)) (Basic site functionality (Some core features of the website rely on the session to track your journey through the pages.)) 2. Csrftoken: (Security token to prevent CSRF attacks) A CSRF Token cookie is a security mechanism that prevents malicious websites from tricking your logged-in browser into performing unauthorised actions on Sportscore without your knowledge. This cookie is strictly necessary for: (Prevents Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) Attacks: (The CSRF Token cookie stops this because the malicious site cannot read the token value (due to the same-origin policy) and therefore cannot include it in the forged request. The Sportscore server will see the request is missing a valid token and immediately reject it.)) (Ensures User Intent: (It guarantees that any state-changing request was intentionally made by the user from within the legitimate Sportscore platform. This is crucial for actions with real-world consequences, like financial transactions or account modifications.)) (Protects User Data and Funds: (By blocking unauthorised actions, it directly protects users from having their personal information changed on their behalf by an attacker.))
Functionality Cookies: Active_theme Dark_mode Messages	1. Active_theme (Remembers theme preference) The active_theme cookie is a small piece of data stored on your device that remembers your visual preference for the SportScore platform. Its primary function is to track and retain whether you have selected the Light mode or Dark mode for the website or application. This cookie is essential for: (To Provide a Persistent User Experience: When you manually switch from the default theme (e.g., Light mode) to another (e.g., Dark mode), the platform creates or updates the active_theme cookie with your choice (e.g., active_theme=dark). The next time you visit SportScore, your browser sends this cookie back to the server. The platform reads it and automatically applies the Dark theme before the page is even fully loaded. This ensures you don't have to manually select your preferred theme every single time you visit.) (To Synchronize Your Theme Across Sessions: (Without this cookie, your theme selection would be "forgotten" as soon as you closed your browser tab or window. The active_theme cookie makes your choice "sticky," so it remains consistent across different browsing sessions on the same device and browser.)) 2. Dark_mode (Stores dark mode setting) The dark_mode cookie is a small piece of data stored on your device that remembers your visual theme preference for the Sportscore platform. It tells the Sportscore website whether you have selected the Dark Mode or the Light Mode interface. This cookie is essential for: (User Makes a Choice: (You, as a user, visit the Sportscore website or app. You find the theme toggle (often a sun/moon icon) and switch from the default Light Mode to Dark Mode (or vice-versa).)) (Setting the Cookie: (When you make that selection, Sportscore's system immediately creates a dark_mode cookie on your browser or device.)) (Remembering the Preference: (The next time you navigate to a different page on Sportscore or close and reopen your browser, the website checks for the presence of this cookie.)) (Applying the Theme: (If the cookie exists and its value is true, the Sportscore platform automatically loads the Dark Mode theme for you. If the value is false or the cookie is missing, it loads the default Light Mode.)) 3. Messages (Handles UI notifications) The Messages cookie is a temporary storage mechanism that allows Sportscore to display one-time notification messages to you and then remember that it has been shown. Think of it as a digital "sticky note" that the website creates and reads to manage the little pop-ups and banners you see. This cookie is essential for: (User Action Confirmation Messages: (The cookie stores the fact that this message needs to be displayed. Once you see it and perhaps refresh the page, the cookie is cleared or updated so the same confirmation doesn't pop up again unnecessarily.)) (Form Submission Feedback: (After a page reload (which often happens after a form submission), the cookie is used to "carry over" the success or error message from the previous page so it can be displayed to you.)) (Informational Banners and Announcements: (It can be used to remember that you have dismissed or acknowledged this banner. This prevents the same announcement from bothering you every time you navigate to a new page or visit the site the next day (depending on the cookie's expiration time.)) (Authentication and Status Messages: (It triggers the cookies welcome message on the page you land on after logging in.))
Third-Party Cookies: Google Analytics cookies	1. Google Analytics cookies (like _ga, SID, HSID) are provided by Google domains. Google Analytics (GA) uses cookies to track user interactions on the Sportscore website and/or mobile app. Think of these cookies as tiny, anonymous tags that are placed on a user's device when they visit. Their primary job is to collect data about how users behave and navigate the platform. This cookie is for: (Understanding User Engagement and Popularity: (To identify which sports, leagues, or matches are the most popular. For example, Sportscore can see if Premier League coverage drives more traffic and longer session times than NBA coverage.)) (Improving the User Experience (UX): (By analyzing user flow reports with GA cookies, Sportscore can see where users are getting stuck or dropping off and improve the service or provide the needed solution to keep the platform use satisfying.)) (Optimizing Marketing and Acquisition Strategy: (By knowing which traffic sources bring the most engaged users, Sportscore can optimize its advertising spend.)) (Measuring Feature Success: (When Sportscore launches a new feature—like a push notification for red cards or a new live-match visualization—GA can track its adoption. They can see how many users interact with it and how it affects overall engagement.)) (Personalization and Content Strategy: (While GA doesn't personally identify users, it can show broad audience trends, helping Sportscore understand what a specific audience is interested in.))	https://policies.google.com/technologies/cookies?hl=hr-HR
