Cookie Policy

Effective Date: June 24, 2026 | Last Updated: June 24, 2026

  • 1. What Are Cookies?

    Cookies are small text files containing numbers and letters that are downloaded to your personal computer, smartphone, or tablet when you visit websites. They act as a memory for a website, allowing it to remember your device, preferences, and login status across pages and subsequent visits. Cookies do not damage your hardware or retrieve files from your storage drives.

  • 2. Purpose & How We Use Cookies on AzzurriFantasy

    AzzurriFantasy uses cookies and local storage tokens to deliver a smooth and responsive experience. Cookies are crucial for securing your login sessions, remembering your selected 3D stadium mockups, conserving bandwidth, and analyzing visitor metrics. By understanding how users interact with our virtual pitch boards, we can continually improve the layout and speed.

  • 3. Classification of Our Cookies

    We divide the cookies we use into different categories based on their origin, functionality, and storage duration. In terms of origin, we utilize both first-party cookies (set directly by our server) and third-party cookies (set by our trusted technology partners). In terms of duration, we use both session cookies (which expire when you close your web browser) and persistent cookies (which remain on your device for a pre-set time).

  • 4. Strictly Necessary & Technical Cookies

    These cookies are fundamental to the operation of the Website. They enable core security features, facilitate user authentication (login state), support transaction billing, and handle server load balancing. Without these technical cookies, major components of the platform—including the premium coaching dashboards and simulated matches—cannot function.

  • 5. Preference & Customization Cookies

    Preference cookies allow the Website to remember decisions you have made during your session. This includes saving your language choice, custom layout options, audio parameters, and simulation selections (such as your favorite team lineups or stadium camera angles). This removes the need to re-configure these parameters on every page load.

  • 6. Performance & Analytical Cookies

    Performance cookies collect aggregated, anonymous data about how visitors navigate www.azzurrifantasy.com. They tell us which pages are visited most frequently, whether users encounter loading errors, and how fast pages render. We use this statistical information solely to debug performance bottlenecks and enhance site responsiveness.

  • 7. Third-Party Technologies & Partner Integrations

    Some features on our website integrate third-party services. This includes our billing processors (which use fraud detection cookies), video player embeds for tactical walkthroughs, and security verification tools. These partners may place their own cookies on your browser to verify security integrity or perform transaction processing.

  • 8. Web Beacons, Pixels, & Local Storage Tokens

    In addition to standard cookies, we may use local storage objects (HTML5) and web beacons (tiny transparent images). Local storage objects allow us to store larger packets of simulator preferences (such as your team layout coordinates) directly in your browser. This reduces database requests and significantly speeds up page load times.

  • 9. Your Consent Options & Cookie Management

    When you first access our portal, a cookie consent banner is displayed. While strictly necessary cookies are active by default, analytical and preference cookies require your voluntary opt-in. You can modify your preferences at any time through our settings panel, or withdraw your consent to analytical tracking without losing access to basic features.

  • 10. Browser Configurations & Global Blocking

    You can control or delete cookies directly through your web browser's configuration settings (e.g., Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Microsoft Edge). Most browsers allow you to block all cookies, accept first-party cookies only, or delete cookies upon closing your session. Consult your browser's "Help" section for specific guides.

  • 11. Consequences of Blocking Cookies

    If you decide to set your browser to reject all cookies (including strictly necessary ones), please be aware that certain features of the AzzurriFantasy platform will not function. You will not be able to log in to your premium account, process subscription payments, or save your custom stadium mockup simulations.

  • 12. Retention Periods of Specific Cookies

    Session cookies are automatically erased the moment you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain stored on your hard drive until their expiration date is reached (ranging from 24 hours up to 2 years depending on the cookie type) or until you manually clear them from your browser cache.

  • 13. Contact & Inquiries Regarding Our Cookie Usage

    If you have any questions or require further clarification regarding how we use cookies and telemetry data on www.azzurrifantasy.com, please contact our data protection officer by email at support@www.azzurrifantasy.com.
