Cookie policy

What cookies are

Cookies are small files that a website stores in your browser. They can remember your preferences or help the site owner see how the site is used. We also use your browser's local storage, which works in a similar way, to remember your cookie choice.

Your choice

When you first visit the site, a banner asks whether you accept analytics cookies. Nothing that tracks you is loaded until you choose "Accept analytics". If you choose "Decline", the site still works normally and no analytics cookies are set.

You can change your mind at any time using the "Cookie settings" link in the footer of any page. That clears your saved choice and shows the banner again.

What we store

• Your cookie choice is saved in your browser's local storage under the name aom-cookie-consent. It records only "accepted" or "declined", stays on your device, and is not sent to us or anyone else. It is needed to stop the banner appearing on every page.
• Google Analytics cookies are set only after you accept. They are named _ga and _ga_ followed by our measurement ID, and normally expire after up to two years. They give us anonymous counts of visits, pages viewed and roughly where visitors came from.

What we do not use

We do not use advertising or remarketing cookies, we do not run social media tracking pixels, and we do not sell or share visitor data with advertisers.

Third-party content

Some pages link out to other websites, such as Play Cricket, league sites, our sponsors and our social media profiles. Once you follow those links, the privacy and cookie policies of those sites apply instead of ours.

Managing cookies in your browser

You can delete or block cookies through your browser settings, and most browsers let you browse in a private mode that discards them when you close the window. Blocking cookies may mean you are asked for your cookie choice again on your next visit.
