How cookies and similar technologies may be used on the Pitcharo FC website for our amateur football club in Strathfield, NSW, Australia.
Last updated: 14 October 2026
This Cookie Notice explains how Pitcharo FC, an amateur football club at 11 The Boulevarde, Strathfield NSW 2135, Australia, may use cookies and similar technologies on its website. The club runs weekly training, friendly matches, tournaments, and community events, with clear fees and a welcoming pitch. For questions about personal information that go beyond cookies, read the Privacy Notice on this website or contact [email protected] or +61297631855.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They can let the site recognise your browser on a later visit, remember a preference, keep a feature working, and, when enabled, show how pages are used in aggregate. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixels that help confirm a page loaded. A cookie may last only for a session and disappear when you close the browser, or it may persist until it expires or you delete it. First-party cookies are set by the Pitcharo FC site.
We use cookies mainly to run the website reliably and to remember a choice you make about display or consent where a banner or similar control is present. Essential cookies support security, basic navigation, and the contact form, so pages and menus work when you ask about a squad place, read a fee band in Australian dollars, or open a news note. Preference cookies, when used, may remember a display choice so you do not reset it on every visit. Analytics cookies, only if switched on, help us see which session pages are useful and where a page is hard to follow, without collecting more personal detail than we need.
We do not use cookies to sell your personal information. We do not use cookies to make an automated decision about credit or employment. Cookie data does not decide whether you are allowed to train or play.
Strictly necessary cookies enable core site functions. Without them, a contact form, a menu, or a security check may fail when you ask about a team place or a trial. These cookies are usually set because of something you do, such as sending an enquiry or saving a privacy choice. Functional cookies remember a choice that makes the visit easier, such as closing an information note. Performance cookies collect aggregated information about visits, rough time on a page, and technical errors. Marketing cookies are not a focus of this club site. If we later use them, we will update this notice and, where required, ask before they become active.
You can control cookies in your browser settings. Most browsers let you block third-party cookies, delete cookies you already have, or warn you before one is stored. If you block essential cookies, parts of the Pitcharo FC website may not work, including the form used to request a squad quote or ask about a level. Preference and analytics cookies can usually be refused without stopping you from reading about sessions, matches, and fees. Clearing cookies resets a remembered choice and may mean you type details again on a later visit.
Where a consent banner or similar control is shown, you may accept optional cookies, refuse them, or adjust categories according to the choices on screen. Your choice can be stored so the banner does not return on every page during the consent period. You can change your mind later by clearing site data, or by contacting the club if a dedicated control is not visible.
The website may rely on hosting, on font delivery, or on another technical service that sets its own cookies in order to deliver files securely and quickly. Those technologies help the pages load. They are not a player database. If we later add a measurement tool or a message widget, that provider will handle data under its own rules, and we will update this Cookie Notice when the tool is added.
A cookie identifier is usually a random string. Together with a server log it may indicate an IP address, a browser type, a device type, the page you came from, and a time. We use that information to secure the site, diagnose an outage, and, if analytics are on, to improve writing about fee bands, the pathway, and club hours for people in Strathfield and nearby suburbs. Personal details you type into a form are handled under the Privacy Notice. A cookie total is not a substitute for the name, level, and position you give when you ask for a place.
A session cookie ends when you close the browser. A persistent cookie remains for the period stated in the cookie or until you delete it. A server log that mentions a cookie may be kept for a limited security and troubleshooting period consistent with the Privacy Notice, then rotated or deleted. A consent record, when we keep one, shows that optional cookies were switched on or off according to your choice.
We may revise this Cookie Notice when website tools, hosting, or legal expectations change. The date at the top of this page will be updated. Please look again if cookie settings matter to you. Continuing to browse after an update means you have had the chance to read the current version. A new optional cookie category will come with a fresh chance to choose where the Australian Privacy Principles require that step.
Questions about this Cookie Notice, or about how Pitcharo FC uses cookies, can be sent to [email protected], by telephone at +61297631855, or in person at 11 The Boulevarde, Strathfield NSW 2135, Australia, during club hours. We will explain the choices in plain language.
