At best-troffers.com, we like to keep things completely transparent—especially when it comes to the technical stuff running behind the scenes of our fantasy sports platform. This Cookie Policy explains exactly what cookies are, how we use them, and how you can manage them. Before you start drafting your dream team, we highly recommend having a quick read so you know what's happening under the hood.
When you visit our site, we place small text files called cookies onto your device. Honestly, they just help us make your experience a lot smoother, remember your interactive builder choices, and keep the website running without a hitch. While these files don't hold sensitive personal details, some of the basic info they gather might link up with the data mentioned in our Privacy Policy.
Think of cookies as tiny digital memory banks. They sit on your phone or computer and remember things like how you like the player roster displayed. Here are the main types you'll encounter:
We only use cookies when there's a good reason for it. Here is exactly what they do:
These are the ones we cannot switch off, because without them the site simply stops being a site. They remember that you have passed the 18+ age check, they hold your cookie choice so we stop asking, and they keep your squad selections in place while you move around the page. They never track you across other websites and they never build a profile of you.
Analytics cookies tell us which pages people actually read, which player cards get tapped the most, and where the site feels slow. Everything is aggregated and anonymised—we look at patterns across thousands of visits, never at one named individual. If you reject analytics cookies, the site works exactly the same; we just lose a bit of insight into what to fix next.
These remember the small decisions that make the platform feel like yours: whether you had the roster open as a grid or a swipeable carousel, which section you last scrolled to, and whether you have already dismissed a notice. They are convenience only. Turn them off and the site falls back to its defaults every time you arrive.
A handful of cookies on best-troffers.com are set by trusted third parties rather than by us—typically analytics providers and, occasionally, embedded football statistics widgets. We only work with partners who commit to UK data protection standards, and we do not allow them to use the data they collect on our site to advertise to you elsewhere. Because these cookies are theirs, their own privacy notices apply alongside ours.
Different cookies have very different lifespans, and we keep them as short as we sensibly can:
Strictly speaking, not everything we use is a cookie. The age gate and your cookie choice are kept in your browser's local storage, which behaves in much the same way but is not sent back to our servers with every request. We may also use pixels, tags and session identifiers for the same purposes described above. Wherever this policy says “cookies”, treat it as covering these similar technologies too—and note that clearing your browser's site data removes them all in one go.
When you first arrive you will see a banner asking whether you accept all cookies or reject the non-essential ones. Nothing beyond the strictly necessary set is placed until you choose. If you change your mind later, clear this site's cookies and local storage in your browser and the banner will appear again on your next visit, letting you make a fresh choice. Rejecting non-essential cookies never blocks you from using the platform.
You are completely in charge of your own device. If you want to tweak, manage, or block cookies, you can do it easily through your browser settings (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or Edge). Just keep in mind that turning off the Essential ones might stop the squad builder from loading properly.
Every browser hides these controls in a slightly different place. Here is roughly where to look:
Some browsers can send a “Do Not Track” header or a Global Privacy Control signal. There is still no single agreed standard for how sites should respond to these, so we take the straightforward route: we honour the choice you make in our own cookie banner, and we keep non-essential cookies switched off until you actively accept them. That gives you the same outcome without relying on a signal we cannot verify.
best-troffers.com is an adults-only platform and the age gate is there for a reason. We do not knowingly place analytics or preference cookies on a device once someone has told us they are under 18—at that point the session is blocked. If you believe a minor has used your device to get past the gate, clear this site's cookies and local storage and the verification prompt will return.
Some of our analytics partners process data on servers outside the United Kingdom. Where that happens, we only use providers covered by UK adequacy regulations or equivalent contractual safeguards, such as the International Data Transfer Agreement. The data involved is limited to the anonymised, aggregated measurements described above—never your squad, your contact details, or anything you typed into a form.
From time to time, we might need to update this Cookie Policy to keep up with new tech or changes to UK data laws. If we make any major changes, we'll make sure it's clearly communicated on the site.
If something here is unclear, or you want to know exactly what is sitting on your device after a visit, just ask. Drop us a line through the contact form on best-troffers.com or email us at support@best-troffers.com and we will walk you through it in plain English.
