This policy applies to the Squad In Touch marketing website at squadintouch.com. It does not describe the cookies or storage used by our separate signed-in applications, mobile app, or public school and tournament websites.
Cookies are small files that a website can ask your browser to store and read. Similar technologies include local storage, which saves information in your browser, and session storage, which usually lasts until you close the tab. A pixel is a tag that can report a page visit or another action to a provider and may use cookies or similar storage.
Necessary. This category is always enabled. We use necessary storage to support essential website features, such as access to password-protected pages, and to remember your cookie choices, including a decision to reject optional cookies.
Analytics (optional). We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use the website, such as which pages they visit, so we can improve it. Google Analytics loads only if you allow Analytics.
Marketing (optional). We use Google Ads to measure the results of our advertising, including clicks on selected links, and to help show relevant ads to people who have visited the site. The X (formerly Twitter) advertising pixel records page visits to help measure campaigns and build advertising audiences. Both load only if you allow Marketing.
Analytics and Marketing are off by default and you can choose either, both or neither. Continuing to browse does not give consent.

| X advertising pixel (may use cookies and browser storage) | X | Marketing | Measures campaign performance and helps build advertising audiences. | The storage used and how long it lasts can vary. See X's cookie information. |
If you allow an optional category, the providers listed for that category may receive information about your visit and may use cookies or similar technologies. See the provider links in the table, Google's Privacy Policy and Google Analytics cookie information.
When you first visit, choose Accept all to allow both optional categories, Reject optional to leave both off, or Cookie settings to choose each category and select Save choices. The old squadintouch cookie is no longer used to record a choice and does not count as consent.
You can change or withdraw consent at any time using Cookie settings in the website footer. Turn off the category you wish to withdraw and select Save choices. The site stops further optional tracking for that category and removes related storage where it can. Withdrawal does not delete information already received by Google or X, or necessarily remove cookies set on their domains.
You can also block or clear cookies and site storage in your browser. If you clear site storage, we may ask for your choices again. Blocking all storage may prevent some features, such as access to password-protected pages, from working as expected.
