Technology Used By TransferNews
Our public pages may use strictly necessary technology for security and reliable request handling. In production, TransferNews may also use one analytics provider to measure aggregate website use: Google Analytics or Plausible Analytics, depending on site configuration.
| Category | Example | Purpose | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Necessary | Security and request controls | Protects the service, manages traffic and helps prevent abuse. | Session or short operational period |
| Analytics | _ga, _ga_* | Google Analytics distinguishes browsers and measures aggregated site activity when enabled. | Up to two years, subject to provider settings |
| Cookie-free analytics | Plausible event data | The standard Plausible configuration measures aggregate use without placing analytics cookies. | No analytics cookie |
The exact cookies visible in your browser can vary by provider configuration, browser and region.
Analytics
Analytics helps us understand page visits, device categories, broad traffic sources and interactions with TransferNews features. We use this information to improve coverage, navigation and site performance. We do not intentionally configure Google Analytics and Plausible Analytics to run together.
Analytics data is not used by TransferNews to identify you by name.
Your Choices
You can block or delete cookies using your browser settings. Blocking necessary technology may affect how some features work. Browser help pages normally explain how to view, remove and restrict cookies.
Where local law requires consent before optional analytics is used, available consent controls should be used to record your choice. You can also use browser privacy protections or analytics-provider opt-out tools.
Third-Party Websites
TransferNews links to external publishers and official football sources. A click that takes you away from transfernews.com may allow that website to use its own cookies. TransferNews does not control cookies placed by third-party websites.
Updates And Contact
We may update this policy when our analytics or website technology changes. For more detail about personal information, read our Privacy policy.
