TL;DR

The cookie bar asks once: Reject all or Accept all. Change it later in Privacy & data. Essential cookies stay on. Export, correction, and deleting the account are on that same page.

The bar on a first visit

Before you have answered, a bar sits at the bottom of the site. The title is We use cookies. It says Gophin does not show ads, that essential cookies and Gophin’s own usage stats stay on, and that Google and Meta are used to measure marketing. You can change the choice later.

Reject all and Accept all are the two answers. Customize opens the finer chooser. Privacy Policy is the legal page.

Your data, and deleting the account

Export, correct, or leave

Your Data has Export My Data, Request Correction, and View History. On a computer, Delete account in the profile list opens this page at the bottom. The button is Delete my account. The warning says this removes the login, the swimmers you follow, tracked standards, groups, comparisons, and notifications, stops a monthly donation, and takes your email off marketing lists. Public meet results stay.
