Cookie Policy

Last updated: 12/05/2026

This Cookie Policy explains how OptimusSport uses cookies, local storage, and similar technologies when you visit our website. We want families, coaches, and partner schools to understand what information is stored on their device, why it is stored, and how to control those settings. Because our website is designed for parents researching activities for children, we aim to use only a limited set of technologies that are proportionate to running the site, remembering choices, and understanding overall website performance. We do not use this page to hide broad advertising practices behind vague wording. If a tool helps us deliver core functionality or maintain site security, we say so clearly. If a tool is optional, we aim to make that clear as well.

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files placed on your browser when you access a website. Some cookies last only for the browsing session and disappear when you close your browser. Others remain for longer so the site can remember settings the next time you return. Similar technologies such as local storage can also save information in your browser. In practice, these technologies may be used to keep the website secure, remember whether you have seen a cookie notice, support forms and search tools, or measure how visitors use pages in aggregate. A cookie does not normally give us direct visibility into the private files stored on your device, and it does not by itself reveal your identity unless you provide personal information elsewhere on the site.

Categories of cookies we may use

Strictly necessary technologies are used to operate the website, maintain basic security, keep forms or navigation functioning as expected, and remember essential consent choices. Without these, some parts of the site may not work properly. Functional technologies may remember user-interface preferences such as whether a menu has been opened, whether a banner has been dismissed, or how certain interactive components should behave between page views. Analytics technologies, where enabled, help us understand how visitors move around the site, which pages are useful, which pages may be confusing, and where performance improvements are needed. We use aggregate information to improve the site for families and schools rather than to build intrusive behavioural profiles.

How OptimusSport uses these technologies

On OptimusSport, cookies and local storage may be used to remember cookie preferences, support site search behaviour, preserve interface state for elements such as mobile navigation or dismissible banners, and help us understand whether visitors are successfully finding school pages, parent guides, and contact routes. Some website features also depend on technical signals that indicate whether a user has already interacted with a dialog or notice. We try to avoid placing unnecessary storage items on a user’s device and prefer short-lived data where appropriate. Where optional analytics tools are used, our intention is to measure page usefulness, loading quality, and broad content demand rather than to track sensitive personal behaviour.

Third-party content and services

Certain pages may include content or integrations provided by third parties, for example map embeds, external social links, or website infrastructure that supports communications and media delivery. When you interact with embedded third-party services, those providers may set their own cookies or similar technologies in accordance with their own privacy notices. We do not control those third-party cookies once you leave our direct environment or choose to interact with an external service. For that reason, we encourage you to review the policies of the relevant provider if you use their embedded content, especially if you are concerned about cross-site tracking or long storage durations.

How to manage or disable cookies

You can manage cookies in several ways. First, you can use the cookie notice or settings options presented on our website when they are available. Second, most browsers allow you to review, block, or delete cookies already stored on your device. Browser settings are usually found under menus such as Privacy, Security, Site Settings, or Clear Browsing Data. Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect core site functions, including search, embedded tools, session continuity, or other interface behaviour. If you delete cookies after making choices on our site, you may be asked to confirm those choices again on a later visit.

Children and family browsing

OptimusSport is intended primarily for parents, guardians, and carers who are researching sports opportunities for children. We do not knowingly use cookies to market directly to children or to create child-specific advertising profiles. If a parent or guardian believes a child has interacted with website features in a way that raises privacy concerns, they can contact us and we will review the issue in line with our broader privacy obligations. Because parents may browse school options on shared household devices, we encourage users to sign out of any external services they do not wish to remain active and to review browser privacy settings on family devices.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect technical changes, new website functionality, changes in legal expectations, or a revised approach to analytics and embedded services. When we make material updates, we will update the date at the top of this page and publish the revised text here. We recommend reviewing this page occasionally if you use the site regularly, especially before submitting enquiries or using interactive tools.
