Cookie policy.

Last updated: 12 November 2026

Maldon & Tiptree Football Club Limited uses a small number of cookies and similar technologies on maldontiptreefc.com. Essential ones keep the site and shop working and secure; Google Analytics only runs if you choose to allow it. This policy should be read with our privacy policy.

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies include your browser’s local storage, pixels and scripts. They can keep a site secure, remember your choices, hold your shopping basket, or tell us how the site is used. The law treats all of these the same way, so this policy covers them all.

Cookies we use

• cw-booker (a cookie set by the club) keeps you signed in to your account after you enter the code we email you. Strictly necessary. Lasts 30 days.
• cw-fan-vote (a cookie set by the club) records that a fan vote has come from this browser, so each supporter votes once. Strictly necessary. Lasts 1 year.
• cw-analytics-consent (local storage) remembers your analytics choice. Strictly necessary. Lasts 6 months.
• cw-basket-v1 (local storage) remembers what’s in your shop basket. Strictly necessary. Lasts until you check out or empty your basket.
• cw-a11y (local storage) remembers the accessibility settings you choose. Remembers your choice. Lasts until you change them.
• cw-popup (local or session storage) remembers that you’ve closed a pop-up message, so we don’t keep showing it. Remembers your choice. Lasts for your visit, a day, or until the message changes, depending on the message.
• cw-fan-vote- followed by a number (local storage) shows you which player you voted for. Remembers your choice. Lasts until you clear it.
• _ga (Google Analytics) tells visitors apart for statistics. Analytics, only with your consent. Lasts up to 2 years.
• _ga_KB0M4KNFHN (Google Analytics) keeps session information for statistics. Analytics, only with your consent. Lasts up to 2 years.

Apart from Google Analytics, none of these need your consent: the site, shop and payments can’t work safely without them, or they only remember a choice you’ve made.

When you go to pay, you move to Stripe’s secure checkout page. Stripe sets its own strictly necessary cookies there, such as __stripe_mid and __stripe_sid, to prevent fraud, under Stripe’s privacy policy.

Forms on this site, such as the contact form, use Cloudflare Turnstile to check they are sent by a person rather than a bot. It runs in a small frame from Cloudflare, which may use its own strictly necessary technologies under Cloudflare’s privacy policy.

If you work for the club and sign in to its admin system, it uses its own strictly necessary cookies to keep you signed in securely, including one that shows you have completed two-step sign-in.

Google Analytics

With your permission, we use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. We load the Google tag only after you accept analytics. We don’t use it for advertising or to build profiles of you, and we keep analytics data for 14 months. Google receives usage and device information when analytics is on; see Google’s privacy policy.

UK law changed in February 2026 to allow some analytics without consent. Because Google Analytics shares data with Google, we have chosen to keep asking for your consent.

Videos, maps, social media and other sites

Jammers TV videos play on YouTube. Our pages show a preview picture, loaded from YouTube, and a link; YouTube only sets its cookies once you open a video there. Maps on our pages are loaded from OpenStreetMap, under its own privacy policy. Links to our ticketing platform (Kaizen Ticketing), Pitchbooking, social media and other sites take you to services with their own cookie policies, which we don’t control.

Managing your choice

On your first visit you can accept or reject analytics. Analytics stays off unless you opt in. You can change your mind at any time with Cookie settings in the footer of every page. Withdrawing consent stops further collection and removes the analytics cookies this site can access; it can’t undo data already collected.

You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you block strictly necessary cookies, parts of the site and the shop may not work.
