The rules: privacy and terms at ringside
Short, because a static site collecting almost nothing has little to confess.
Privacy
No accounts, no comments, no email capture. One analytics property (GA4) counts visits so we know which bouts draw a crowd; sit it out and every card still works. Email the referee and the address is used to answer you, then retired from the fight.
The scorekeeper is Google Analytics 4, run by Google LLC (Google Ireland Ltd. handles fans in the EEA and UK). It tallies which pages you visit, the referring site that walked you to ringside, a rough location at city or country level, what device and browser you fight from, and when and how long you stayed. IP addresses are never logged or stored. Every advertising feature, plus Google signals and ad personalisation, stays outside the ropes, so none of this feeds ads and none of it is sold. Google’s own rulebook: policies.google.com/privacy.
Two cookies enter only after analytics is allowed — _ga and _ga_<ID>, lasting up to 2 years — and both are cleared if you decline later. If your device’s time zone places you in Europe (EEA, UK or Switzerland), the bell stays silent until you press Accept: nothing goes to Google before that. Outside Europe analytics opens the round switched on, and you can throw in the towel on it whenever you like. A browser sending Global Privacy Control is scored as a refusal unless you accept outright. Your decision is noted in local storage inside your browser, not as a cookie. Want a rematch? Reopen the analytics call. To keep Google Analytics out of every ring on the web, there is Google’s opt-out add-on.
Terms
Scorecards are editorial opinion built on checkable facts — verified at ringside (site-wide pass: July 30, 2026). Vendors change prices without telling the officials’ table; where a card and a vendor’s current page disagree, the vendor’s page wins and the card owes a public correction. Nothing here guarantees a tool suits your hardware, room or employer’s IT policy — the free tryouts recommended on every card exist precisely so you never have to take a referee’s word for it.
Quoting the cards
Quote the cards with attribution and a link; republishing whole bouts is a different sport.
