Cookie Policy
Effective date: 26 February 2026
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They are used to remember preferences, maintain sessions, and improve user experience. Some cookies are essential for the website to function, while others are optional.
2. Cookies We Use
OpenMatchDay uses a minimal set of cookies. We do not use advertising cookies, third-party tracking cookies, or social media cookies.
2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the platform to function and cannot be disabled.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
PHPSESSID | Maintains your login session and authentication state | Session (deleted when browser closes) |
csrf_token | Protects against cross-site request forgery attacks | Session |
2.2 Functional Cookies
These cookies remember your preferences to provide a better experience. They are stored in your browser's localStorage, not as traditional cookies.
| Key | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
omd_lang | Remembers your language preference (1 of 7 supported languages) | Persistent |

Functional preferences stored in localStorage are kept until you clear your browser data or manually change them.
2.3 Analytics Cookies
We do not currently use analytics cookies. If we introduce analytics in the future, this policy will be updated accordingly and your consent will be requested.
3. Third-Party Cookies
We do not set any third-party cookies. All resources (fonts, icons, scripts) are self-hosted on our own EU servers, so no external services are contacted during normal use of the platform.
4. How to Manage Cookies
You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- View what cookies are stored and delete them individually
- Block third-party cookies
- Block all cookies from specific sites
- Delete all cookies when you close your browser
Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from logging in and using the platform.
To clear localStorage preferences, you can use your browser's developer tools or clear site data for the OpenMatchDay domain.
5. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy if we change the cookies or local storage keys we use. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated effective date.
