This page explains the cookies and similar technologies (like browser local storage) that 44scout.com uses, and why.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. We also use browser local storage, which works similarly but is stored differently. Both can be viewed and managed through your browser settings.
| Name | Type | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| 44scout_session | Essential (cookie) | Keeps you signed in securely. Without it, the site can't recognize you as logged in. Strictly necessary — cannot be disabled if you want to use the platform. |
| 44scout_user (legacy) | Functional (local storage) | Stores your basic account info (name, role) in your browser so the interface can display it without an extra server call. Not used to authenticate you. |
| Stripe / PayPal cookies | Essential (third-party) | Set by Stripe and PayPal during checkout, needed for them to process your payment securely and detect fraud. |
| YouTube / Vimeo cookies | Third-party, optional | If a player's highlight is embedded from YouTube or Vimeo, playing it may set cookies from that provider. These only load if you play the video. |
We don't run advertising or third-party analytics/tracking cookies of any kind on 44scout.com.
Most browsers let you view, delete, and block cookies through their settings. Blocking essential cookies (like the session cookie) will prevent you from staying logged in. You can find instructions for your browser via its help documentation.
We may update this policy as the site changes. Check back periodically, or see the "last updated" date above.
