Cookies can help websites function properly, remember visitor preferences, understand how visitors use a website, and improve performance and user experience.

Some cookies remain on your device only while your browser is open. Others may remain for a longer period or until you delete them.

3. Types of Cookies We May Use

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies support basic website functions, security, network management, and accessibility.

The website may not function properly without these cookies. Because they are necessary to provide the website, they may not be subject to optional cookie consent where permitted by law.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the website. They may collect information such as:

  • Approximate visit duration.
  • General geographic area.
  • Browser and device type.
  • Operating system.
  • Referring website or campaign.
  • Navigation paths.
  • Website errors and performance information.

OSA uses Google Analytics for this purpose.

Functionality Cookies

Functionality cookies may remember choices or settings that improve the visitor's experience, such as language, display, form, or cookie preferences.

Third-Party or Embedded-Content Cookies

Some pages may include third-party content or functionality, such as videos, social-media features, maps, registration forms, payment tools, or livestream services.

Those providers may place or access cookies according to their own privacy and cookie policies. OSA does not directly control cookies placed by third-party services.

4. Google Analytics

OSA uses Google Analytics to understand how visitors use OSA-US.com and to improve the website.

Google Analytics may use cookies or similar technologies to collect information about website activity, including:

  • Pages viewed.
  • Session activity.
  • Approximate location derived from technical information.
  • Device and browser information.
  • Referring sources.
  • Interactions with website features.

Google may process this information on OSA's behalf to provide analytics reports and related services.

OSA uses Google Analytics for measurement and website improvement. OSA does not sell personal information collected through Google Analytics.

The specific cookies used, their names, and their duration may vary depending on OSA's website configuration and future updates made by Google.

5. Managing Cookie Preferences

You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

  • View stored cookies.
  • Delete existing cookies.
  • Block all or selected cookies.
  • Receive a warning before a cookie is stored.
  • Limit third-party cookies.

Disabling certain cookies may affect website features, preferences, embedded content, registration tools, or overall performance.

6. Google Analytics Opt-Out

Visitors may prevent their website activity from being available to Google Analytics by using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on provided by Google.

The add-on is available from Google and is designed for supported web browsers.

Visitors may also limit analytics cookies through OSA's cookie-preference tool, where available, or through their browser settings.

7. Cookie Consent

Where required by applicable law, OSA will request consent before placing optional analytics or other nonessential cookies.

Visitors may accept, reject, or manage optional cookies through the cookie banner or preference center made available on the website.

Withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before consent was withdrawn.

OSA's website should remember a visitor's cookie selection for a reasonable period, although visitors may need to select their preferences again after clearing browser data, using another device, or following a website update.

8. Do Not Track and Privacy Signals

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" setting. Because there is not one universally applied technical standard for all Do Not Track signals, website responses may vary.

Where required by applicable law and supported by OSA's website technology, OSA will process legally recognized browser-based privacy signals, such as Global Privacy Control, as applicable.

9. Youth Privacy

OSA's website supports youth and amateur soccer programs. Registration information relating to youth players is generally submitted by parents, legal guardians, coaches, or authorized team administrators.

OSA does not use analytics cookies for the purpose of knowingly creating advertising profiles of children.

Parents and guardians may manage cookies on devices used by their children through the available browser and website controls.

More information about youth information practices is available in OSA's Privacy Policy.

OSA-US.com may contain links to third-party websites.

This Cookie Notice applies only to OSA-US.com. Cookies used by registration providers, payment processors, governing organizations, social-media platforms, video services, sponsors, or other external websites are governed by their respective policies.
