Note on Google cookies: Our platform integrates Google services including Google Maps and Google Translate. When these services load, Google sets a number of authentication and session cookies on the google.com domain. We do not control these cookies independently of the Google services we integrate. 

 

Note on Stripe: Only __stripe_mid and __stripe_sid are set by our platform on our own domain. Various other Stripe-domain cookies may be visible in your browser if you are also logged into the Stripe dashboard — these are not set by our website. 

5. What we do not do

We want to be clear about the limits of our cookie use:

  • We do not use advertising or targeting cookies
  • We do not share your personal data with advertisers
  • We do not use cookies to build a profile of your browsing behaviour across other websites
  • We do not sell data collected through cookies to any third party
  • We do not use cookies to identify you personally unless you are logged in to our platform

 

6. Third parties

Cookiebot 

We use Cookiebot as our cookie consent management platform (CMP) on our public websites (squadi.com and worldsportaction.com). Cookiebot sets two strictly necessary cookies — CookieConsent on our own domain to record your preferences, and cb_admin on the cookiebot.com domain for the consent service itself. Cookiebot is developed by Usercentrics A/S and data is processed in accordance with their privacy policy: https://www.cookiebot.com/en/privacy-policy/ 

 

Google LLC 

We use multiple Google services including Google Analytics, Google reCAPTCHA, Google Maps, and Google Translate. Each service sets cookies as described in the table above. Google processes data on servers in the United States. 

Google Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy 

 

Google Translate 

Our websites include the Google Translate widget, which allows users to translate page content into their preferred language. When a user activates translation, the googtrans and goolinks cookies are set on our own domain to maintain the selected language across page loads. This is processed on the basis of our legitimate interests in providing a usable multilingual experience. Additionally, page content is sent to Google’s Translation API for processing. These cookies are session-duration and are cleared when the browser is closed. Google Translate is operated by Google LLC and data is processed in the United States. 

Google Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy 

 

Stripe, Inc. 

We use Stripe to process payments on our platform. When you access any page that includes payment functionality, Stripe.js loads and sets two strictly necessary cookies for fraud detection and payment session management. Stripe processes data on servers in the United States. 

Stripe Privacy Policy: https://stripe.com/privacy 

 

Tawk.to 

We use Tawk.to to provide live chat support on some areas of our platform. Tawk.to sets functional cookies to maintain your chat session and conversation history. Multiple twk_uuid cookies are present because we operate several Tawk.to properties across different areas of our platform. Tawk.to may process data on servers outside Australia. 

Tawk.to Privacy Policy: https://www.tawk.to/privacy-policy/ 

 

Epsilla 

We use Epsilla as an alternative live chat provider on some areas of our platform. When the Epsilla widget loads, it sets two analytics cookies on the epsilla.com domain: a PostHog cookie (ph_phc_*) and a Mixpanel cookie (cfz_mixpanel). Both are used by Epsilla for their own product usage analytics and are not controlled by World Sport Action. Epsilla may process data on servers outside Australia. 

Epsilla Privacy Policy: https://epsilla.com/privacy-policy 

 

We have no direct control over the cookies set by these third-party services beyond the choices we make about which services to integrate.
