This Cookies Policy explains how www.thepitchview.com employs cookies, web beacons, and browser-level tracking mechanisms to enhance platform operation and improve your browsing experience.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small alphanumeric text files placed on your computer, tablet, or smartphone when you visit web pages. They help web systems recognize your device on subsequent visits, remember reading preferences, and gather operational telemetry.

2. Categories of Cookies We Use

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: Essential for core platform security, server load balancing, and page navigation. The site cannot function properly without these cookies, and they cannot be disabled in our systems.
• Performance & Analytics Cookies: Collect aggregated, non-personally identifiable metrics on reader behavior—such as which athlete stories receive the highest traffic, average reading duration, and page load errors. This information helps us optimize our technical architecture and story presentation.
• Functional Cookies: Remember reader preferences, such as text sizing, media player volume, or region preferences across repeat sessions.
• Third-Party Embedded Media Cookies: Some stories feature multimedia from third-party services (such as YouTube, Vimeo, Spotify, or social media feeds). These third-party services may set their own tracking cookies independent of The Pitch View.
