Cookie Policy

Advertising tags load on our marketing pages, our checkout funnels, and the pages where a purchased card is shared, revealed, or claimed. They never receive photos, player names, or card content — the payload is limited to order value, currency, item count, our own cart number and cart ID, sport, and template. Where you arrived from one of our ads, a purchase is also reported from our server with your email address in one-way hashed form, used only to match the sale to the ad click. Because the sharing, reveal, and claim pages are often opened by the child pictured, an advertising cookie set there identifies that child’s browser: to prevent it, choose “Reject non-essential” in the browser your child uses. Browsers sending the Global Privacy Control signal are automatically opted out of advertising cookies, whatever was accepted earlier. See our Privacy Policy for how we handle personal information.
