Cookie Policy
motexiz.com keeps what it needs to sign you in and remember your settings. Google's adverts use cookies, which you can control; visits are counted without any.
Last updated 9 October 2026
What this covers
Cookies are small files a website saves in your browser. Browser storage (local storage and session storage) does the same job without being sent to the website with every visit. This policy covers both, on motexiz.com. The Motexiz app doesn't use browser cookies.
In short
- Google's adverts use cookies, including cookies that can follow you to other websites for personalised adverts. In Europe, the UK and Switzerland only if you agree; anywhere, you can turn personalisation off at myadcenter.google.com.
- No analytics cookies: visits are counted without them (see below).
Counting visits
We count visits with our own privacy-friendly tool, Umami, which runs on our own server (stats.motexiz.com). It records which pages are read, the site you came from (such as Google or WhatsApp), your country and city, and your kind of device, browser and screen size.
- It uses no cookies and saves nothing in your browser.
- It doesn't keep your IP address, and it can't recognise you from one day to the next.
- Words you search for, and anything else after the page's address, are left out.
- If your browser sends a “Do Not Track” signal, you aren't counted at all.
- The counts stay with us: they aren't shared with or sold to anyone.
Signing in
These are needed for signing in. Without them you can still read everything, but you can't sign in.
- __session, __client_uat and clerk_active_context (some with a short code added to the name)
- Set by Clerk, our sign-in provider, on motexiz.com. They keep you signed in and let the site check that it is really you.
- Lasts: Up to 1 year; clerk_active_context until you close the browser
- Clerk's own sign-in cookies, such as __client or __clerk_db_jwt
- Set by Clerk to run the sign-in itself and protect it.
- Lasts: Up to 1 year
- __cf_bm and _cfuvid
- Set by Cloudflare, which protects Clerk's sign-in service, on Clerk's sign-in address. They tell people from automated attacks.
- Lasts: 30 minutes; _cfuvid until you close the browser
Your settings
Set only when you choose a setting. They belong to this browser, not to your account.

- The time zone you picked, so kick-off times are shown in it. Set only if you choose one.

- motexiz.theme (browser storage)
- Light or dark, if you picked one.
- Lasts: Until you clear it

Google's adverts
The adverts on motexiz.com are shown by Google AdSense. Google sets these cookies on motexiz.com and on its own domains; their names and how long they last are set by Google and can change. Google's own list: business.safety.google/adscookies. More about what Google receives, and your choices, is in section 17A of our Privacy Policy.
- __gads, __gpi and __eoi (cookies on motexiz.com)
- Set by Google to show and measure adverts, limit how often you see the same one, and stop fraud.
- Lasts: Up to about 13 months
- FCCDCF and FCNEC (cookies on motexiz.com)
- Set by Google's consent message, in the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland, to remember the choice you made.
- Lasts: Up to about 13 months
- IDE, DSID and others (cookies on Google's own domains, such as doubleclick.net)
- Set by Google for advertising, including personalised adverts where you allow them. They can recognise your browser on other websites that use Google's adverts.
- Lasts: Up to about 13 months
Other browser storage
- motexiz:ad-turn:… (browser storage for this visit)
- Only when Motexiz shows its own adverts instead of Google's: which ad each ad space showed last, so the next page shows the next ad. A number only.
- Lasts: Until you close the tab
- motexiz.onboarding.… (browser storage)
- When you set up a new account: the choices made so far, so you can carry on where you stopped, and whether you skipped the setup.
- Lasts: Your choices until you finish, skip or sign out; that you skipped, until you clear it
- motexiz:announcements:dismissed (browser storage)
- The announcements you closed, so they aren't shown again.
- Lasts: Until you clear it
- __clerk_environment (browser storage)
- Clerk's copy of its own sign-in settings, so the sign-in opens faster.
- Lasts: Until you clear it
Pictures from other sites
Club badges and player photos, news pictures and profile avatars load from the services that provide them: our football data provider API-SPORTS, the news publishers (such as ESPN) and DiceBear. Like any website, they receive your IP address and browser details when your browser asks them for a picture. Their own privacy policies apply.
Your choices
Google's adverts. In the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland, Google's consent message asks before advertising cookies are used for personalised adverts; change your choice at any time with the “Privacy and cookie settings” link. In US states with privacy laws, the “Do not sell or share my personal information” link turns them off. Anywhere, you can turn personalised adverts off at myadcenter.google.com.
The other cookies and storage listed here are needed for the site to work or set because you chose a setting. You can clear or block cookies and browser storage in your browser's settings at any time. If you block Clerk's cookies you won't be able to sign in; if you clear the rest, your theme, language and time zone go back to the defaults.
Changes and questions
If we start using a new cookie or kind of storage, we'll add it here and change the date at the top. More about the information we keep is in our Privacy Policy. Questions: info@motexiz.com.
