What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file stored on your device by a website. Cookies are used to remember your preferences, keep you logged in, measure site traffic, or serve personalised advertising.
Cookies we use
Analytics (no cookies)
We use Umami Analytics for site statistics. Umami is specifically designed to be cookie-free and privacy-respecting — it collects only anonymous, aggregated page-view data and stores no personal information.
Advertising cookies (Google AdSense)
We display advertisements on this site via Google AdSense. Google AdSense sets cookies on your browser to:
- Show you relevant, personalised advertisements
- Limit how often you see the same ad
- Measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns
- Help Google detect and prevent fraud
The main cookies set by Google AdSense include __gads, __gpi,
and associated measurement cookies. These may persist for up to 13 months. Full details
of Google's advertising cookies are documented at
policies.google.com/technologies/cookies
.
Where required by law (including the EU/EEA ePrivacy Directive and GDPR), these advertising cookies are only placed after you give consent via our cookie banner. Without consent, Google will serve non-personalised ads only and will not set persistent advertising cookies.
Third-party affiliate cookies
If you follow affiliate links from this site to external partner websites (such as Padel Market via the Awin network, or Amazon), those
websites and their affiliate networks may set their own tracking cookies on your device
according to their own policies. Specifically, Awin may place a tracking cookie (
awc) on your browser when you click a Padel Market affiliate link. We have
no control over these third-party cookies, which are governed by Awin's and Amazon's
own privacy policies.

Managing cookies in your browser
