Cookie Policy
Effective Date: October 2026 • Compliant with Article 22.2 of the Spanish LSSI-CE and AEPD Cookie Guidelines.
This Cookie Policy explains how TopSportsES (accessible via topsportses.xyz) uses cookies, LocalStorage, and similar tracking technologies. We believe in absolute transparency: we prioritize minimal data retention and ensure you maintain granular control over non-essential identifiers. Below are our 15 detailed articles regarding cookies.
A cookie is a small alphanumeric text file placed on your computer, smartphone, or tablet when visiting websites. Cookies allow web applications to identify your browser, remember your session authentication, preserve tactical formation preferences, and analyze technical server performance across page transitions.
In compliance with Article 22.2 of Spanish Law 34/2002 (LSSI-CE) and the Guide on the Use of Cookies published by the Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD), TopSportsES informs users clearly about the purpose of data storage and obtains prior affirmative consent before deploying any non-essential cookies.
Technical cookies are indispensable for the operation of the website and cannot be deactivated in our systems. They enable essential functions such as session authentication, load-balancing traffic across our Madrid clusters, and recording your cookie consent preferences. Under Spanish law, these cookies do not require prior consent.
When you draft players in our Squad Builder or adjust your 11-player lineup on the tactical pitch, session tokens track your current draft state so you do not lose selections upon navigating between our scoring rules, league tables, and match simulation calculator.
In addition to standard HTTP cookies, TopSportsES utilizes HTML5 LocalStorage on your local device. LocalStorage securely stores your cookie consent choice (topsportses_cookie_consent) and saves offline draft configurations without transmitting this private draft information over the public network until you choose to submit it.
Performance cookies measure latency, page load speed, and server error codes across different regions of Spain and Europe. This telemetry helps our infrastructure engineers optimize our sub-second live scoring feeds during peak gameweek lockouts.
Functional cookies store your personalized preferences—such as default tactical formation view (e.g. 4-3-3 vs. 3-5-2), pitch graphic quality toggle, and preferred Spanish league filter—providing a seamless managerial interface each time you return.
First-Party Cookies: Set directly by the domain topsportses.xyz and accessible only by our secure servers.
Third-Party Cookies: We strictly avoid third-party behavioral advertising trackers, data brokers, and social media tracking pixels. Any external telemetry is limited to verified, privacy-hardened European CDN performance nodes.

TopSportsES recognizes and respects automated browser privacy signals including Do-Not-Track (DNT) and Global Privacy Control (GPC). When our servers detect an active GPC or DNT signal, all non-essential performance and preference cookies are automatically suppressed.
If you decline or block non-essential cookies, core gameplay (drafting your starting XI and participating in public leagues) remains fully accessible. However, your temporary pitch drafts between browser restarts may not persist, and you may need to re-select tactical formations upon each visit.
Our engineering team conducts bi-annual technical cookie audits to detect deprecated tokens, verify lifespans, and ensure no unauthorized third-party trackers are introduced. This document is updated immediately following any technical changes to our cookie architecture.
