My FPL Mini-League

Cookie Policy

Effective Date: 17 April 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Saurabh Sarin, Shitij Gupta, and Shashwat Nandan, operating as My FPL Mini-League ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on myfplminileague.com(the "Platform"). It describes what these technologies are, why we use them, and how you can control them.

By using our Platform, you acknowledge this Cookie Policy. Where required by law, we will ask for your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device (computer, phone, or tablet) when you visit them. They help the website remember information about your visit, such as whether you are logged in, which makes your next visit easier and the site more useful to you.

In addition to cookies, modern websites may also use browser storage technologies:

  • Local Storage stores small pieces of data on your device that persist until you or the website clears them.
  • Session Storage works similarly but is automatically cleared when you close your browser tab.

We use all three of these technologies on our Platform, and we describe each one in detail below.

2. Cookies We Use

2.1 Essential Cookies (Strictly Necessary)

These cookies are required for the Platform to function. Without them, you would not be able to log in or use core features. Because they are strictly necessary, we do not need your consent to set them, but we want you to know about them.

Cookie NameWhat It DoesDurationAdditional Details
sb-...-auth-tokenKeeps you logged in by maintaining your authentication session.Session (until you log out or your session expires)Set automatically by our authentication provider. This cookie is encrypted, sent only over secure connections, and cannot be read by other websites.
sb-...-auth-token-code-verifierSecures the login process when you sign in with Google or a magic link. It is part of a standard security protocol called PKCE.Session (cleared once login completes)Set automatically by our authentication provider. Same security protections as above.

Note: The full cookie names include a technical identifier (e.g., sb-ftyqynleybnngzypsbmi-auth-token). You may see this longer name if you inspect cookies in your browser's developer tools.

2.2 Analytics Cookies (Performance)

These cookies help us understand how visitors use the Platform so we can improve it. They collect information such as which pages are visited most often and whether users encounter errors. All information is aggregated and anonymous.

We use these cookies on the basis of our legitimate interest in improving the Platform. You can opt out at any time using the methods described in Section 4 below.
