Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Chinchin Wines Fantasy League ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit chinchinwines.com. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy. By continuing to use our website after seeing the cookie banner, you consent to our use of cookies as described below, except where your consent is not required by applicable law.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember preferences, and provide information to site owners. We also use local storage (a browser-based technology similar to cookies) to save your squad builder selections between sessions. Session cookies expire when you close your browser; persistent cookies remain until they expire or you delete them.

Types of Cookies We Use

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the operation of our platform. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, cookie consent storage, and squad data persistence. Without these cookies, services you have requested — such as saving your fantasy squad — cannot be provided. These cookies do not require consent under most privacy laws.

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow us to remember choices you make (such as language preference, formation selection, and dismissed banner states) and provide enhanced, personalised features. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we use. If you disable these cookies, some features may not function correctly.

Analytics Cookies

We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our website — which pages are most visited, how long users stay, and where errors occur. This data is aggregated and anonymised where possible. It helps us improve the squad builder, fix bugs, and prioritise new features. Analytics data is not used to identify you personally without your separate consent.

Marketing Cookies

With your consent, marketing cookies may be used to deliver relevant advertisements about Chinchin Wines products and partner offers on third-party platforms, and to measure the effectiveness of our campaigns. You can withdraw consent for marketing cookies at any time without affecting access to the core fantasy game.

Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are placed by third-party services that appear on our pages, such as embedded analytics providers or social media widgets. We do not control these third-party cookies. Please refer to the respective privacy policies of those providers for information on their practices. We review third-party integrations regularly and limit data sharing to what is necessary for service delivery.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies. Blocking all cookies may prevent you from using certain features of our platform, including the squad builder save function. To manage cookies in popular browsers, consult the help documentation for Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge. You may also contact us at privacy@chinchinwines.com to request information about cookies we have set on your device.

Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) setting. Because there is no industry consensus on how to respond to DNT signals, our website does not currently alter its behaviour based on DNT headers. We continue to monitor regulatory developments in this area.

Updates and Contact

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our practices. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will be revised accordingly. For questions about our use of cookies, email privacy@chinchinwines.com or write to Chinchin Wines Fantasy League, 42 Tournament Lane, London, EC2A 4NE, United Kingdom.
