Cookie policy

In short
The golfscore.it website sets no cookies. We use no advertising networks, social media buttons or trackers that follow you across other websites. For anonymous visitor statistics we use Umami, which we host ourselves and which uses no cookies (see below). Fonts and icons are served from our own server too, so your browser does not connect to anyone else while you view the website.
The only thing the website keeps in your browser is the language you choose yourself. Below you can read exactly what that is, how to remove it and which statistics we keep.
What we keep in your browser
When you choose a language in the language selector at the top of the page, the website keeps that choice in your browser’s local storage (localStorage):
| Name | Contents | Purpose | Kept for |
|---|---|---|---|
gs-lang | The code of the chosen language: nl, fr, de or en | Opening the website in your language when you come back to golfscore.it later | Until you remove it |
- It is only stored after you choose a language yourself. Viewing a page in another language does not count as a choice.
- It stays on your own device and is not sent to our server or to anyone else.
- It contains no personal data and is not used to track you.
Because it only serves to provide a function you ask for yourself, it needs no consent (Article 5(3) of the European ePrivacy Directive). That is why this website shows no cookie banner.
Your browser’s language
If you have not chosen a language yet and you open golfscore.it, the website checks in your browser which languages you have set in your browser settings, and opens the first one we offer. This choice happens entirely in your browser and nothing is stored for it. Your language setting is, however, counted anonymously in the visitor statistics (see below). If we offer none of your languages, you see the Dutch website.
Visitor statistics (Umami)
To see how the website is used, for example which pages are viewed most and in which language, we use Umami. Umami runs on our own server under the golfscore.it domain; no data goes to the Umami company or to anyone else.
- Umami sets no cookies and stores nothing in your browser.
- For each page view our server receives: the page address and title, the page you came from, your browser, operating system and device type, your screen size, your language setting and your country, derived from your IP address with the DB-IP database.
- Your IP address is not stored. To count visitors, Umami turns your IP address and browser into a code that cannot be reversed and is replaced regularly. This means we cannot recognise you or follow you over time.
- We only see totals, such as the number of visitors per page. We do not use the data for advertising or profiling and do not share it with anyone.
- The statistics are kept for 24 months and then deleted.
Because Umami stores nothing in your browser and only produces anonymous statistics, we do not ask for your consent. We do this on the basis of our legitimate interest in improving the website (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). If you do not want to be counted, you can block the Umami script with a content or ad blocker; the website keeps working as normal.
How to remove the stored language
Clear the site data for golfscore.it in your browser settings. In most browsers you will find this under Privacy or Cookies and site data; you can often also click the padlock next to the web address. The website then opens in the language that matches your browser settings again. If you choose a language again, it is stored again.
Changes
If we ever start using cookies, other storage or other statistics services, we will update this cookie policy and, where needed, ask for your consent first. The date at the top of this page shows when this policy was last updated.
Questions
