Cookie notice
The cookies and device storage we use, and how to change your choice.
Last updated 2026-11-04
This notice explains the cookies and similar technologies, such as local storage, that Early Rotate uses. It is part of our privacy notice.
The short version
Following scores sets no cookies at all. Signing in sets one strictly necessary cookie. Advertising cookies from Google are set only if you agree, and never for Early Rotate+ members. Statistics are counted without cookies.
Cookies we set
| Name | Type | Purpose | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
fan_session | Cookie, strictly necessary | Keeps you signed in to your account | 60 days, or until you sign out |
hub_session | Cookie, strictly necessary | Keeps site staff signed in to the admin area (staff only) | 24 hours |
FCCDCF, FCNEC | Cookies set by Google's consent message, strictly necessary | Remember your advertising choice so you are not asked again | Up to 13 months |
Storage on your device
These items stay in your browser and are never sent to us:
| Name | Purpose | How long |
|---|---|---|
theme | Light or dark mode | Until you clear it |
vote:… | Which team you voted for in "who wins?" | Until you clear it |
alerts | The alert teams and types you chose on this device | Until you turn alerts off |
discord-feeds | Links to manage the Discord channels you connected from this device | Until you clear it |
install-dismissed, promo-dismissed | Banners you closed | Until you clear it |
| Offline copy | A small copy of the home page and icons, so the site opens quickly and works as an app | Replaced with each update |
Strictly necessary cookies and storage do not need your consent, but we still tell you about them.
Statistics
We count visits with Umami, which uses no cookies and does not store your IP address. Nothing is stored on your device for statistics.
Advertising
Google's consent message asks before any advertising cookie is set. If you choose Consent, Google AdSense may set cookies and use similar technologies to show ads, limit how often you see them, measure them and, where allowed, personalise them. If you choose Do not consent, Google shows only limited ads that use no advertising cookies. See how Google uses cookies.
Early Rotate+ members never see ads, and Google's ad script never loads for them. Ads sold directly to brands, sponsor credits and affiliate links use no cookies.
Videos and posts from other sites
Twitch and YouTube players load only when you press play; until then we show a still image. Posts from X load automatically where they appear, in X's "do not track" mode. Once a player or post loads, that service's own cookie policy applies, and any ads inside it are run by that service, not by us.
Changing your choice
Use Ad choices in the footer of every page to change your advertising choice at any time. Withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings; if you block fan_session you will not be able to stay signed in.
