Cookies

This website does not set any tracking cookies. If we add features in the future that require cookies (such as a cookie consent banner for third-party services), we will update this policy and provide a way to manage your preferences.

Third-Party Services

Our website may include links to third-party websites, including betting partners and ticket providers. These third-party sites have their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to read. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of external websites.

Embedded content from third parties (such as maps) may set their own cookies when you interact with them.

Our website is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us and we will take steps to remove it.

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Request correction or deletion of your data
• Object to processing of your data
• Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

Since we do not collect personally identifiable information, most of these rights are not applicable, but we will respond to any legitimate request within 30 days.
