Cookies and storage
Last updated: Monday 5 October 2026
Sportybell sets no cookies. It remembers a few things in your browser's local storage and, if you turn on notifications, installs a service worker. None of this is used for advertising or tracking, and none of it is read by anyone else.
What is stored
sportybell.device | A random identifier, so our server can keep your follows and alerts without an account. Kept until you clear this site's data. |
|---|---|
sportybell.favourites | The matches you pinned. Kept until you clear this site's data. |
sportybell.theme | Light or dark. Kept until you clear this site's data. |
Service worker
When you turn on match alerts and allow notifications, the browser installs our service worker (sw.js). It receives the alerts and shows them, also when Sportybell is closed. It does not cache pages or track anything.
Third parties
Our pages load no third-party scripts, fonts, pixels or trackers: everything comes from our own servers.
Why there is no consent banner
Storage that is strictly necessary for a feature you use (remembering your pins, your theme and your follows) does not need consent under EU and UK law. Notifications always ask for your permission first, through your browser.
How to remove it
Clear the site data for sportybell.com in your browser's settings (usually under privacy, "cookies and site data"). Block notifications for the site in the same settings. In the apps, uninstall the app or clear its storage.
More about what happens to the data on our server: see the Privacy Policy.
