This Cookie Policy explains how College Football Alerts uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit collegefootballalerts.com or use related website features. College Football Alerts is operated by John Perry. This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which provides additional information about how personal information may be collected, used, and shared.
IN THIS POLICY
Cookies are small files that websites may store on a visitor’s browser or device. Cookies can help websites operate, remember preferences, understand visitor activity, maintain security, and support advertising. Some cookies remain only during a browsing session. Others may remain on a device for a defined period or until they are deleted.
College Football Alerts and its service providers may also use technologies that perform functions similar to cookies, including pixels, web beacons, tags, software-development tools, browser storage, local storage, device identifiers, advertising identifiers, server logs, and embedded scripts. References to cookies in this policy generally include these similar technologies unless otherwise stated.
College Football Alerts may use cookies and similar technologies to operate and secure the website; remember consent and privacy choices; support account or authentication features; remember optional website preferences; diagnose errors and technical problems; understand visitor activity and article performance; prevent fraud, abuse, or unauthorized activity; display and measure advertisements; limit advertising frequency; personalize advertising when permitted; and support embedded videos, social media, or other third-party features. The specific technologies used may change as the website and its providers change.
Strictly necessary cookies support essential website functions such as security, network management, fraud prevention, consent-preference storage, account authentication, load balancing, form security, and core page functionality. They generally cannot be disabled through the cookie-preference tool. Functional technologies provide optional features or remember preferences. Analytics technologies help us understand pages viewed, articles selected, time spent on pages, referring websites, approximate location, browser and device type, website errors, and general engagement activity. Advertising technologies may be used to deliver, measure, limit, personalize, and secure advertisements. Where required, functional, analytics, and advertising technologies will not be activated unless the visitor allows the applicable category.
College Football Alerts may use Google services such as Google Analytics, Google AdSense, Google Ad Manager, or other Google advertising and measurement services. When these services are active, Google and its partners may use cookies, IP addresses, device information, advertising identifiers, or similar technologies to provide, measure, personalize, limit, and secure advertisements and analytics services. Google’s use of advertising cookies may enable Google and its partners to serve advertisements based on a visitor’s activity on College Football Alerts or other websites. Only Google products that are actually installed and active should be listed in the verified cookie inventory.
Some cookies and similar technologies may be placed or controlled by third-party providers rather than College Football Alerts. These providers may include analytics providers, advertising networks, website-hosting providers, security providers, newsletter providers, embedded-video providers, social media platforms, form and authentication providers, and content-delivery networks. Third parties process information according to their own privacy policies and contractual terms. College Football Alerts does not control every technology operated independently by a third-party provider.
The current cookie inventory must be based only on a verified audit of technologies active on the published website. It should identify the cookie or technology, provider, purpose, category, and duration. College Football Alerts will not publish estimated or invented cookie names, providers, expiration periods, or purposes. If the selected consent-management provider can automatically generate and maintain an accurate cookie list, that verified inventory should be used here. Otherwise, the inventory must be manually audited and updated whenever website services change.
Visitors can manage eligible cookie categories through the Cookie Settings control located in the website footer. Depending on location and applicable requirements, visitors may be able to accept all cookie categories, reject nonessential cookie categories, enable or disable individual categories, withdraw previously provided consent, adjust browser-level cookie settings, and manage personalized advertising through applicable provider settings. Withdrawing consent does not necessarily delete information that was lawfully processed before the choice was changed. Some browser settings may block all cookies; blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent portions of the website from functioning properly.
Most browsers allow visitors to view, block, or delete cookies through their settings. Browser controls vary by provider and device. Visitors should review instructions supplied by their browser provider for information about blocking cookies, deleting stored cookies, managing site permissions, restricting cross-site tracking, and sending supported privacy-preference signals. Changing browser settings may affect other websites as well as College Football Alerts.
Where legally required and technically supported, College Football Alerts will attempt to recognize applicable browser-based opt-out preference signals, including Global Privacy Control. The website’s privacy and consent system should not knowingly override a legally valid opt-out signal. College Football Alerts will not claim Global Privacy Control is honored until the website has been tested and configured to process it correctly.
Cookie and consent requirements may differ depending on the visitor’s location. College Football Alerts may display different consent options or apply different default settings based on regional legal requirements. Visitors in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, and Switzerland may be asked to provide consent before certain advertising, analytics, personalization, or storage technologies are used. Visitors in certain United States jurisdictions may be provided with options to opt out of qualifying targeted advertising, sales, or sharing of personal information.
College Football Alerts is a general-audience sports media website and is not directed toward children under 13. We do not knowingly use cookies or similar technologies to collect personal information from children under 13 without legally required authorization. A parent or legal guardian who believes a child has provided personal information may contact us at cfbalerts3@gmail.com.
We may update this Cookie Policy when our technologies, providers, advertising practices, website features, or legal obligations change. The updated policy will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. A material change to the website’s use of nonessential technologies may also cause the consent interface to request updated choices.
