1. About this policy

This Cookie Policy explains how [LEGAL ENTITY NAME] ("Elite Prospect Media," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on eliteprospectmedia.com and the athlete dashboard. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which describes how we handle personal information more broadly.

2. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They let a site remember your actions and preferences over time. We also use related technologies that work similarly:

• Local storage and session storage — browser storage used to hold session and preference data.
• Pixels and tags — small snippets of code that record that a page or email was loaded.
• Device and session identifiers — values used to keep you logged in and to associate activity within a single visit.

Cookies are either first-party (set by us) or third-party (set by a provider whose service runs on our site). They are also either session cookies, which expire when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which remain until they expire or you delete them.

3. Categories of cookies we use

Strictly necessary

These are required for the site to function and cannot be switched off. They handle authentication and login sessions, dashboard access, security and fraud prevention, load balancing, form submission integrity, and remembering your cookie choices. Because the Services cannot operate without them, we do not ask for consent to set them.

Functional

These remember choices you make so the experience works the way you left it — for example video player preferences such as volume or playback quality, and interface state within the dashboard. Blocking them will not break the site but some conveniences will be lost.

Analytics

These help us understand how visitors find and use the site so we can improve it: pages viewed, time on page, navigation paths, referring sources, and aggregate video engagement. We use this information in aggregate and do not use it to build advertising profiles.

Marketing

[If you run Google Ads, Meta Pixel, or any retargeting, describe it here and make it consent-gated. If you do not run any advertising trackers, replace this section with: "We do not currently use advertising or retargeting cookies. If that changes, we will update this policy and request consent before setting them."]

We do not use advertising or profiling cookies to target minors.

4. Third-party services that may set cookies

Some cookies are set by providers whose services power the Services. These may include:

• Site hosting and CMS — required cookies for site delivery and security.
• Membership and authentication — session cookies that keep you signed in to the dashboard.
• Payment processing — fraud-prevention and checkout cookies set during payment.
• Video hosting and playback — player preference and performance cookies; embedded players may set their own.
• Analytics — measurement cookies recording aggregate usage.
• Embedded social content — where a social platform's embed or player appears on a page, that platform may set its own cookies.

[Recommended: replace the generic labels above with your actual named providers and, where you can, a link to each provider's own cookie or privacy notice. A named list is materially more useful and more defensible than a generic one.]

We do not control cookies set by third parties. Their use of the information they collect is governed by their own policies.

5. Cookie table

[Populate this once you have audited what is actually running. The clean way to build it: load the site in a fresh browser profile, open developer tools, and record every cookie under Application → Storage. For each one list the name, the provider that sets it, its purpose, its category from Section 3, and its retention period. Keeping this table accurate is what separates a real cookie policy from a template.]

6. Managing your choices

Our cookie banner

[If you have a consent banner: "When you first visit, you can accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can change your choice at any time via [link or the 'Cookie settings' control in the footer]." If you do not yet have a banner, note that visitors from the EU, UK, and a growing number of U.S. states are entitled to a real choice before non-essential cookies are set, and installing a consent tool should be treated as a priority.]

Your browser

Most browsers let you view, block, and delete cookies through their settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from logging in or using the dashboard. Instructions are available in the help documentation for Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge.

Opting out of analytics

You can decline analytics cookies through our banner where available, or use browser-level controls and provider-specific opt-out tools.

Global Privacy Control

We honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals where technically feasible. If your browser or extension sends a GPC signal, we treat it as an opt-out of non-essential tracking.

Do Not Track

Browsers may send a "Do Not Track" signal. Because there is no common industry standard for interpreting it, we do not respond to DNT signals. We do respond to GPC as described above.

7. Cookies and minors

Athlete dashboards are held by parents or guardians. We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles, run behavioral advertising, or track minors across unrelated sites. Where an athlete uses a device to view their own profile or content, only strictly necessary and functional cookies are needed for that to work.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy as our site and the technologies we use change. Material changes will be reflected in the "Last updated" date above, and where consent is required we will request it again before setting new categories of cookies.
