Cookies and local storage
Version 2.1 · Last updated: 2026-10-11
The breakoutsports.se website sets a cookie only once you have said yes to it. Five entries in your browser are necessary for sign-in, registration and to remember your answer to the cookie question — they exist whatever you choose. Beyond those we measure visitor statistics with Google Analytics, but only if you consent in the dialog you meet on your first visit. Nothing is loaded from Google before you tap yes. If you choose to sign in with Google, you leave the website for Google’s own sign-in page, and nothing from Google is loaded on our pages. If you say no, no measurement cookie is set and no request is sent. This is everything that can be stored in your browser.
§1. Necessary storage
| Name | Type | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
| authTokenData | localStorage or session storage | Keeps you signed in on the web: in the dashboard for scouts, trainers and clubs, on the account page and when buying premium | Removed on sign-out. Otherwise when the tab closes if you sign in to the dashboard without "Remember me", after 30 days with it, and after 3 days on the account page and when buying |
| breakout_google_signin | session storage | Ties a sign-in with Google to the tab that started it, so no other page can hand over a sign-in | Removed when you come back from Google, otherwise when the tab closes |
| breakout_pending_email | session storage | Remembers your email between registration steps | Removed when the tab closes |
| breakout_pending_role | session storage | Remembers your chosen role during registration | Removed when the tab closes |
| breakout_consent | localStorage | Remembers whether you said yes or no to visitor statistics, so we do not have to ask on every page | 180 days, then we ask again |
All five are strictly necessary: they exist only so that a feature you initiated works, or to remember a choice you made, and they are not used to track you across websites or build any profile of you. The consent entry itself needs no consent — without it we would have to ask over and over.
§2. Visitor statistics with your consent
| Name | Type | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | cookie | Tells one visitor from another in the statistics | 180 days (we shortened Google’s 2-year default) |
| _ga_<measurement id> | cookie | Keeps your visit together as one session in the statistics | 180 days |
The statistics tell us how many people visit the pages, which pages they read, roughly where in the country they are and whether they came via a search engine, Instagram or directly. They do not tell us who you are. We never send your name, your email address or your account id to Google, the address is sent without anything after the question mark, and on pages where the address contains a content id — a shared clip or a challenge — the pattern is sent instead of the id, so the statistics never show whose clip was viewed.
Measurement is switched off entirely in the dashboard for scouts, trainers and clubs and on the account-deletion page — nothing is measured there even if you said yes. Google uses your IP address to work out roughly where in the country you are and then does not store it; GA4 has no setting for this, unlike older Google Analytics, because that is simply how it works. The data is deleted at Google after two months, the shortest the tool offers.
Two settings decide the whole matter, and both are switched off on our side: Google Signals and Google Ads linking. Without them the measurement cannot become material for ads, it does not follow you between devices, and it does not leave Breakout. The app is not measured at all — this exists only on the website.
§3. Your choice and how to change it
The first time you come here we show a dialog with two equally weighted buttons: Yes please and No thanks. Neither is preselected and nothing loads until you tap — if you leave the page without answering, no measurement happens. Your answer is kept for 180 days, then we ask again.
Change your mind whenever you like: click Cookie settings at the bottom of every page. If you say no afterwards, _ga and _ga_<measurement id> are deleted from your browser immediately. You can also block cookies in your browser settings — the site works exactly as well without the measurement, and nothing you can do on Breakout requires you to say yes.
If you are under 18 you choose just like everyone else, and the choice means the same thing: statistics about the visit, never advertising. If you would rather not choose at all, tap No thanks — nothing on the site gets worse for it.
§4. The app
The mobile app uses no cookies, no advertising identifiers (IDFA/AAID), no ad networks and no analytics SDKs. What the app stores on your device is your sign-in credentials (securely in the device keychain) and technical preferences such as language — things required for the app to work.
§5. If this changes
The promise in version 1.0 of this page — that it would be updated before an analytics tool was activated, and that you would get to decide in a consent dialog before any non-essential storage happened — is kept with this version. It applies next time too: no new analytics or marketing tool is activated before this page is updated and you have been asked about that specific tool. Users under 18 will never be included in behavioural advertising, and Breakout runs no advertising at all in the app.
