Last updated: 27 May 2026

Who we are

fcwire (the "Site") is operated independently. The Site is reachable at fcwire.com. If you have questions about this policy, contact us at hello@fcwire.com.

What data we collect

  • Usage data — pages you view, time spent, referrer URL, device type, language preference, anonymised IP. Collected via Google Analytics 4.
  • Push subscription — if you grant notification permission, we store the browser-issued push endpoint + optional list of teams you follow. Used only to send match notifications. No personal identifier attached.
  • Cookies— see "Cookies" below. We do not collect names, emails, or addresses unless you contact us directly.

Cookies

We use first-party cookies for theme preference (dark/light) and language. Third-party cookies are set by Google Analytics (for traffic analytics) and Google AdSense (for relevant advertising) once we display ads. You can opt out via our cookie consent banner on first visit, or by adjusting your browser settings at any time.

Advertising

fcwire shows advertising provided by Google AdSense. Google may use cookies and similar technologies to show personalised ads based on your visits to this and other sites. You can opt out of personalised advertising at Google Ads Settings. We never display advertising for gambling, betting, adult content, or other prohibited categories.

Data retention

Analytics data is retained for 14 months. Push subscriptions are kept until you unsubscribe or the browser revokes the endpoint. We do not maintain personal user accounts.

If you reside in the European Economic Area, the UK, or California, you have the right to access, correct, or delete the data we hold about you. To exercise these rights, email us at hello@fcwire.com with the subject "Data Request".
