Third-Party Services and Content
Certain pages use external services. These providers may process technical data and use their own cookies or similar technologies under their own policies.
PayPal
The PayPal JavaScript SDK is used on pages for selecting and purchasing a Premium plan. PayPal may use necessary technologies for secure payment processing, fraud prevention and checkout-session management.
Trustpilot
A Trustpilot widget may load on the Plans page to display reviews or rating information. The content is delivered through Trustpilot infrastructure.
YouTube No-Cookie
The Videos page uses YouTube in privacy-enhanced mode through the youtube-nocookie.com domain. The external service may process data when a video loads or the User interacts with the player.
The names and durations of third-party cookies may be changed by those providers. Their own policies apply to processing carried out independently of GoalLineExpert.
6
Language Settings
In the current version of GoalLineExpert, the choice between Bulgarian and English is stored primarily in the PHP session.
The code may read an existing cookie named “lang” from an older version, but the current version does not create or update such a cookie.

Managing and Withdrawing Consent
On your first visit, you may choose “Accept All”, “Necessary Only” or open the detailed settings.
Your choice is remembered for 180 days. After that period expires, you may be asked again.
You may change your decision at any time through the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer or through the button below.
Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.
