Cookie policy

The cookies and similar technologies we use, and how to control them.

Last updated: 25 September 2026

1. What cookies and similar technologies are

Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. We also use similar technologies such as local storage, which keeps preferences in your browser without sending them to a server. This page lists what is used on Golatooo and how you can control it.

2. Essential and preference storage

These items make the site work and remember your choices. They are not used for advertising.

  • Theme and language preference (cookie or local storage) so the page looks the way you chose.
  • Time zone preference (cookie tz or local storage) so kick-off times are shown in your own time zone.
  • Favourites (local storage): the teams, matches and competitions you starred. They never leave your browser.
  • Your consent choices, stored by the consent message, so we do not ask you again on every visit.
  • Security and load-balancing signals that keep the service stable and protect it against abuse.

3. Analytics cookies

Loaded only where enabled and, where required, after you consent.

  • Google Analytics 4: cookies such as _ga and _ga_<container id> help us count visits and see which pages are useful.
  • Plausible (if enabled): privacy-friendly analytics that does not use cookies or track you across sites.

4. Advertising cookies

Google AdSense and its advertising partners may set or read cookies such as IDE, __gads, __gpi and DSID to show ads, limit how often you see the same ad and measure results. With your consent these can be used to personalise ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites; without consent only non-personalised ads are shown.

You can manage personalised advertising through Google Ads Settings (adssettings.google.com) or aboutads.info / youronlinechoices.eu.

5. How to manage cookies

  • Use the consent message or the privacy and cookie settings link to change your analytics and advertising choices at any time.
  • Change your browser settings to block or delete cookies and site data. Blocking essential storage may make preferences such as theme, time zone or favourites stop working.
  • Use browser privacy features or extensions such as "Do Not Track" or ad blockers; the site keeps working without ads.

6. Changes

We update this list when we add or remove services. Questions: [email protected]. Last updated: 25 September 2026.
