Cookie Policy

Last updated: 13 October 2026

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how Footy.co.uk uses cookies and similar technologies.

Footy.co.uk is owned and operated by SixFour Advertising, a private limited company registered in England and Wales under company number 17211268.

We use cookies and related technologies where necessary to operate our website and, subject to applicable consent requirements, to understand website usage, improve functionality and support advertising.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites may store on your device when you visit them.

They can help websites remember information, maintain functionality, recognise preferences and measure how services are used.

Cookies may be temporary, lasting only for a browsing session, or persistent, remaining on your device for a defined period.

Similar technologies, including local storage, pixels and other online identifiers, may also be used.

3. Types of Cookies

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are required for essential website functions.

They may support:

  • Website security.
  • Load balancing and server operation.
  • Essential navigation and functionality.
  • Authentication where account features are available.
  • Remembering cookie consent preferences.

Strictly necessary cookies do not generally require consent where they meet the relevant legal exemption.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help website operators understand how visitors use their services.

They may collect information about:

  • Pages visited.
  • Time spent on the website.
  • Navigation patterns.
  • Device and browser characteristics.
  • Website errors and performance.

Where required by UK law, analytics cookies will only be used after the visitor has provided consent.

Functionality Cookies

Functionality cookies may remember preferences or support optional features.

These could include display preferences, personalised layouts or other user-selected settings.

Where a functionality cookie is not strictly necessary or otherwise exempt, consent will be obtained where required.

Advertising Cookies

Advertising cookies and similar technologies may be used by advertising providers to deliver advertisements, measure performance and, where permitted, personalise advertising.

They may collect information about browsing activity, device identifiers and interactions with advertising content.

Non-essential advertising cookies will not be activated before valid consent has been obtained.

Third-Party Content Cookies

Some pages may contain embedded videos, media or other content supplied by independent platforms.

These services may use cookies or similar technologies when their content is loaded or accessed.

Where consent is required, relevant third-party tracking will be restricted until the visitor has made an appropriate choice.

4. First-Party and Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set by Footy.co.uk or its website infrastructure.

Third-party cookies may be set by external services integrated into the website, such as analytics providers, advertising networks or embedded media platforms.

Third-party providers may process information under their own privacy policies.

We will identify relevant third-party providers and their purposes in our cookie information where applicable.

5. How We Obtain Consent

Where consent is required under UK law, Footy.co.uk will request it before storing or accessing non-essential cookies or similar technologies.

Our cookie consent interface will provide clear choices, including the ability to accept or reject non-essential cookies.

Users will not be required to accept non-essential cookies simply to access general football scores, fixtures or results.

Consent may be withdrawn at any time through the website's cookie settings.

Withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

6. Managing Cookie Preferences

Users can manage their preferences through the cookie controls provided on Footy.co.uk.

Most browsers also allow users to view, block or delete cookies through their settings.

Blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect certain website functions.

Disabling non-essential cookies should not prevent access to general football information, although some optional features may operate differently.

7. Cookies Used on Footy.co.uk

The cookies and similar technologies used by Footy depend on the website services and third-party integrations that are active.

The following categories describe their potential purposes.

Category Purpose Consent
Strictly necessary Security, essential functionality and consent preferences Not normally required where exempt
Analytics Website traffic and performance measurement Required where applicable
Functionality Optional preferences and enhanced features Required unless exempt
Advertising Advertising measurement and personalisation Required for non-essential tracking
Embedded content Supporting third-party video and media services Depends on the technology and applicable exemption

Specific cookie names, providers, purposes and retention periods should be made available through the website's cookie settings or an accompanying cookie inventory.

8. Advertising and Commercial Partners

Footy.co.uk may display advertising supplied directly by commercial partners or through third-party advertising platforms.

Some advertising technologies may use cookies, pixels or similar identifiers.

Where these technologies require consent, they will not be activated until consent has been provided.

Users who reject non-essential advertising cookies may still see advertisements, but those advertisements should not rely on tracking for which consent has been refused.

9. Embedded Videos and Media

Footy may display embedded videos or links to live football commentary and other content hosted by external platforms, including YouTube.

These services may process technical information and use their own cookies.

Where appropriate, we may use privacy-enhanced embedding methods or delay loading third-party content until the visitor has provided the necessary consent.

10. Cookie Retention

Cookies may remain on a device for different periods depending on their purpose.

Session cookies generally expire when the browser session ends.

Persistent cookies remain until their expiry date or until they are deleted.

Where applicable, specific retention periods will be disclosed through our cookie settings or cookie inventory.

We will periodically review cookie use and retention periods.

11. Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when website features, third-party services, cookie technologies or legal requirements change.

The latest version will be published on Footy.co.uk with an updated revision date.

Where a change requires fresh consent, we will request it as required by law.
