Because the College web site and the Pro Leagues web site are separate, each of the following cookies will be set on each of the two web sites.

| ASPSESSIONID or similar | This cookie supports the underlying ASP code which delivers significant parts of the site, It supports you in registration, entering orders and administering your account.

Therefore, this cookie is essential to the functioning of the website for its intended purpose: playing the game. Your browser should delete this cookie when you end your browser session (exit the browser). |

| gLID | This cookie stores a single number, which is set the the league you last chose to visit. It helps the web site to remember what league you are viewing and improves the delivery of some of this web site's features. |
| revealScore-* | Multiple cookies, maximum one per league plus College. These cookies are set if you choose to show scores on the game results listings for a league. They are not used by the website, but are used by your browser to remember that you have chosen to show the scores. This helps you avoid spoilers (seeing game results in a league before you have watched the games). There is one per league and one for College because you may wish to see the scores in one league but not another. These cookies are reset at the rollover to a new week if you are still logged in. Values can be 'Y' (meaning you wish scores to be shown) or 'N' (meaning that after choosing to show scores, you subsequently decide to hide them again). |

Since the web site needs to send cookies after you log in (see below), you are reminded of the fact every so often. This is a persistent cookie and it stays on your device between sessions. |
| gTicket | This stores a string which helps the website to keep you logged in if you are inactive for a while, or if you move between the Pro Leagues and College websites. It is linked to your user account on this website and is strictly necessary to support access to our full range of services. If you tick the tickbox to "Stay Logged In", when you log in, then this cookie will be saved to your device for an extended period, or until you log out using the "Log Out" button (top right on most pages).

| gCollege | This cookie is issued when you are about to make a web payment to renew your subscription. It is used to distinguish whether you should be directed to the College site or Pro site after payment is concluded. |
