This page explains how Footy on the Box (footyonthebox.com) handles data and cookies. The site is a simple tool for planning the cheapest way to watch televised football. It does not require an account and does not ask you for personal information.
We do not collect names, emails, or any information you type, because the site has no sign-up and no forms. Any choices you make in the planner (such as which club you view) stay in your browser and are not sent to us.
We use a small number of cookies:
Consent cookie. When you choose Accept or Decline on the cookie banner, we store that choice in a cookie so we do not ask again. This cookie contains only your preference.
Analytics (if enabled). We may use a privacy-friendly analytics tool to count visits and see which pages are popular. This tells us totals, not who you are.
Affiliate links. Some outbound links to broadcasters such as NOW and TNT are affiliate links. If you click one and subscribe, the broadcaster or its affiliate network (for example Awin) may set a cookie so the referral is credited to us. We may then earn a commission, at no extra cost to you. Those cookies are set by the broadcaster or network, not by this site, and are governed by their own privacy policies.
Footy on the Box takes part in affiliate programmes. This means we may earn a commission when you subscribe to a service through a link on this site. It never changes the price you pay, and the planner always shows the genuinely cheapest option regardless of whether a link earns us anything.
When you follow a link to a broadcaster, you leave this site and their privacy policy applies. We are not responsible for the content or practices of other sites. Fixture and channel information is sourced from publicly available listings.
You can decline non-essential cookies using the banner, and you can clear cookies at any time in your browser settings. Declining does not stop the planner working.
