Updated Cookie Options
Crystal Palace’s official website now prompts visitors to review and accept cookie preferences when they first visit. Users can choose the “Accept All” option for a seamless experience or the “Customize” option to manage specific consent categories. This transparent approach gives fans control over the data they share while browsing the club’s digital platforms.
Essential Cookies
The core functionality of the Palace website relies on ‘Necessary’ cookies, which are always active. These essential cookies enable secure log-ins and remember consent preferences, ensuring that basic site features operate correctly without storing personally identifiable data. Key examples include: - cookieyes-consent - stores user preferences for one year. - __stripe_mid and __stripe_sid - used for processing payments on the Palace platform. - __cf_bm - a Cloudflare cookie that supports bot management for site security.
These cookies are critical for the smooth operation of the club’s digital presence and are exempt from user consent requirements.
Advertising and Security Cookies
Beyond essential functions, the Palace website also uses cookies for advertising and security purposes. Google’s NID cookie limits ad frequency, while Google Recaptcha sets _GRECAPTCHA to protect the site from malicious spam attacks and identify bots. These measures safeguard the Palace online community and enhance the overall browsing experience.
Fan Control and Privacy
The club’s commitment to user privacy means fans have full control over their cookie settings. By allowing users to tailor their online interaction, Crystal Palace ensures a secure and efficient browsing environment that reflects the club’s dedication to supporters both on and off the pitch.
