This explains what the Player OS stores in your browser and why.
Cookies
The Player OS doesn't set any cookies.
What we store on your device instead
Your browser's local storage holds a few things so the Player OS works the way you left it. It remembers your theme and colour choice, and whether you've closed a pop-up message so it doesn't keep coming back. It keeps a saved copy of some listings, for about a minute, so search pages load faster. If you've signed in, it also holds the email address you signed in with, and a random code from our server that shows you proved the email address was yours. Together they are how you stay signed in on that device. The code stops working after 30 days. If you sign out, the email address is removed and the code stops working after one hour, so you can sign back in during that hour without another email.
None of this is sent to anyone else or used to follow you across sites. The email address is used only to look up your own account when a page loads.
Other sites your browser contacts
A few things are loaded from other organisations' servers: map pictures from OpenStreetMap on the Map page, our logo from Squarespace's image service, one league's logo from a Google image address, and the pictures on listings and News cards, which come from the web addresses in our records, often wherever a club keeps its pictures. We add nothing to your device for these and we don't load advertising or tracking scripts from them. They can see your IP address when they send you a picture, and we can't control whether they store anything on your device themselves. The fonts and the map's marker code are served from the Player OS itself. The privacy policy has the details.
Our marketing pages
The pages about The NBRH on thenbrh.co.uk (for players, for clubs, our goals, and the club check) come from this app and are shown inside the main site. They set no cookies and store nothing in your browser's local storage. The rest of thenbrh.co.uk is run on Squarespace, which has its own cookie and privacy policies.
Usage statistics
We count how the Player OS is used, for example which pages and buttons get used and how often, so we can improve it. We use PostHog for this, hosted in the EU (Frankfurt).
This doesn't use cookies or local storage, so nothing is saved on your device for it. Each visit is counted on its own, and we can't tell that two visits came from the same person. It doesn't receive your name, your email address, your account details, or anything you type or search for. Web addresses are recorded with your private link code removed, and IP addresses are not stored. The counts are kept for 365 days and are only ever seen by The NBRH team.
If your browser sends a Do Not Track signal, we send nothing.
We also keep our own click totals on our server, such as how many times a listing was opened. They use no cookies or local storage, and hold no personal data. The privacy policy has the details.
What we don't use
We don't use advertising cookies or third-party advertising trackers, we don't record your screen or sessions, and nothing here builds a profile of you or follows you to other websites.
Managing this
Signing out removes your email address from your browser's local storage. If you clear local storage yourself, your theme and pop-up choices reset and you'll need to sign in again. Neither affects your account, which is held on our servers, not in your browser.
To stay out of the usage counts, turn on Do Not Track in your browser or use a content blocker. Nothing in the Player OS depends on it. You can also email us and we'll answer any question about it.
Changes
If we change what we store or how we count usage, this page will be updated first.
