This Policy describes the cookies and similar technologies we use on Forth Umpire, and how you can control them.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, work more efficiently, and provide information to site owners. Similar technologies such as local storage, session storage, and pixel tags may also be used; in this Policy we refer to all of these collectively as “cookies”.

You may accept or decline non-essential cookies through our consent banner. Strictly-necessary cookies cannot be declined because they are required for the Service to function.
