What Are Cookies & Tracking Technologies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit our website. They help us remember your preferences and provide a smoother experience as you explore our AI sports tools and educational resources.

Beyond standard cookies, we also use similar technologies like web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage to understand how visitors interact with our platform. These tools help us improve our sports analytics features and ensure our educational content remains relevant to your interests.

How We Use Tracking Data

The information we collect through cookies helps us create a better experience for everyone who visits prostarttoolbox.com. Here's how we put this data to work:

Personalizing Your Experience

When you return to our site, cookies help us remember your preferred sports categories, recently viewed tutorials, and dashboard settings. This means less time configuring and more time learning about AI applications in sports.

Improving Our Educational Content

We analyze which articles, tutorials, and tools are most helpful to our visitors. This data guides us in creating new content and refining existing resources. For example, if we notice many people are interested in basketball analytics, we might develop more specialized content in that area.

Technical Performance Monitoring

Performance cookies help us identify which pages load slowly or cause issues for users. We use this information to make technical improvements and ensure our AI tools run smoothly across different devices and browsers.

Your Cookie Preferences

Understanding Your Rights

You have complete control over how we use cookies on your device. While essential cookies are necessary for the site to function, you can opt out of all others using the button above or through your browser settings.

When you decline non-essential cookies, you'll still have full access to our educational content and AI tools. However, you might need to reconfigure your preferences each time you visit, and we won't be able to personalize your experience as effectively.

Managing Cookies Through Your Browser

Every major browser gives you control over cookie settings. Here's how to manage them in the most popular browsers:

Data Retention & Security

Different types of cookies have different lifespans on your device. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser, while others might remain for months or years depending on their purpose.

How Long We Keep Cookie Data

Essential cookies typically last for your browsing session only. Preference cookies might remain for up to one year so we can remember your settings. Analytics cookies usually expire after two years, while marketing cookies vary depending on the advertising platform.

Protecting Your Information

All data collected through cookies is encrypted during transmission and stored securely. We never sell personal information to third parties, and we only share aggregated, anonymized data with trusted partners who help us improve our services.

Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on our site are set by external services we use to provide better functionality. These might include analytics services, educational content providers, or advertising networks.

For example, if we embed a video tutorial from an external platform, that service might set its own cookies to remember your viewing preferences or track engagement. We carefully select our third-party partners and ensure they meet our privacy standards.

Managing Third-Party Tracking

Most browsers now include features to limit third-party tracking. You can also use browser extensions designed for privacy protection, though these might affect how some of our interactive features work.
