Cookie policy
Last updated 25 September 2026
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your device. It lets the site remember things between page loads, for example that you're signed in. This page also covers the few things our pages keep in your browser's own storage.
Cookies we set
We set four cookies, all needed for the site to work. None of them is used for analytics, advertising or tracking.
| Name | Purpose | Expires |
|---|---|---|
PHPSESSID |
Keeps you signed in during your visit and shows one-time confirmation messages. | When you close your browser or log out |
csrf_token |
Protects forms against cross-site request forgery (CSRF), so another website can't send a form as you. | 90 days |
remember_me |
Keeps you signed in on this device. Only set if "Stay logged in" is ticked when you sign in. | 90 days after your last visit, or when you log out |
oauth_bind |
Makes sure a sign-in with Apple finishes in the browser that started it. | 15 minutes, or when the sign-in finishes |
Each of these does something you ask the site to do, so they are strictly necessary. UK law (the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations) does not require us to ask for your consent before setting them.
Kept in your browser
Some pages keep small notes in your browser's storage instead of a cookie:
- The class you were booking, so you return to it after signing in. Cleared when you close the tab.
- For coaches, the round timer and scoreboard settings and the round or match in progress, so reloading the page doesn't lose them.
- On a TV showing the timer or a competition, which timer it shows and whether the sound is on.
- In our app, the code your phone needs to receive the notifications you allow.
None of this is used for analytics, advertising or tracking.
Card payments
Card payments are taken by Stripe, and the payment form is Stripe's. Stripe sets its own cookies on the payment step to help stop fraud. Stripe's cookie policy explains them.
Technique videos
Clubs can add technique videos from YouTube or Vimeo. YouTube videos play in YouTube's privacy-enhanced mode, and Vimeo videos play with Vimeo's tracking turned off. Both players may still set a few cookies of their own.
What we don't use
- No analytics or performance cookies (such as Google Analytics).
- No advertising or marketing cookies.
If this changes
We'll update this page before we add anything new. If we ever want a cookie the site doesn't need, such as website analytics, we'll ask you first.
Managing cookies
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking ours will stop you signing in, because the site needs them to keep you logged in.
