Cookie Policy
Last updated: 2026. This policy explains how and why Zona Futbolística uses cookies.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They let the site remember your actions and preferences over time, so you don't have to re-enter them whenever you return or move between pages. Similar technologies such as local storage work in much the same way.
2. How we use cookies
We use cookies to keep the platform working, remember your squad and sign-in state, and understand how managers use our features. Some cookies are strictly necessary, while others are optional and only set with your consent through our cookie banner.
3. Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are essential for the platform to function — they handle sign-in sessions, security and your basic preferences. Because the service cannot operate without them, they do not require consent and cannot be switched off through our banner.
4. Functional cookies
Functional cookies remember choices you make, such as your selected squad, language and interface settings. They improve your experience but are not strictly essential, so you can decline them while still using the core platform.
5. Analytics cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand which features managers use and where they run into friction, so we can improve the platform. The data is aggregated and used for statistical purposes; we set these cookies only with your consent.
6. Marketing cookies
Where used, marketing cookies help us measure the effectiveness of our own campaigns and show you relevant updates. We do not sell your data to third parties, and you can decline these cookies at any time.
7. Cookie categories at a glance
The table below summarises the main cookie categories we use, their purpose and a typical lifespan. Exact names and durations may vary as we maintain the platform.
| Cookie | Category | Purpose | Lifespan |
|---|---|---|---|
| zf_session | Necessary | Maintains your sign-in session | Session |
| tc_auth / tc_user | Necessary | Remembers you are signed in | Persistent |
| zf_picks | Functional | Saves your selected squad | Persistent |
| zf_cookie | Necessary | Stores your cookie preference | 12 months |
| _zf_analytics | Analytics | Aggregated usage statistics | 24 months |
| _zf_campaign | Marketing | Measures campaign performance | 3 months |
8. Managing cookies via our banner
When you first visit, our banner lets you accept all cookies or keep only the necessary ones. We store your choice so we don't ask again on every visit, and you can change your decision by clearing this preference in your browser.
9. Managing cookies in your browser
All major browsers let you view, block and delete cookies through their settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of the platform from working, such as staying signed in, so we recommend keeping those enabled.
10. Third-party cookies
Some cookies may be set by trusted partners that provide analytics or embedded content. We choose partners who respect privacy and apply appropriate safeguards, and we limit third-party cookies to what is necessary.
11. Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” signal. As there is no consistent industry standard for responding to it, we focus on giving you clear, granular control through our cookie banner instead.
12. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy as our practices or the law evolve. When we make material changes, we will update the date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, prompt you to review your preferences again.
13. Contact us
If you have any questions about our use of cookies, e-mail us at [email protected] or write to Zona Futbolística S.L., Calle de Alcalá 42, 28014 Madrid, España. We're happy to help.
