Your email

All six sections are on by default. Change any of it below, now or from any email later.

Sections

Leave them all ticked to get everything.

Narrow it by country (optional — nothing is preselected)
Filters

Optional. Leave every box unticked and you get the whole world, which is the point. Ticking one NARROWS the issue to it.

Focus

Country

Watch specific clubs and people (optional)
Watching

Up to 20. A watched name can lift a story into your email even when it is outside your sections.

Reading language

Headlines and extracts arrive in it. Links still go to each outlet in its own language.

Beyond football

Nothing is sent until you open the link we email you. Every email has a one-click unsubscribe.

What is stored, and what is never done — no cookies, no tracking, leave in one click

What is stored, and what is never done

  • Stored: your email address, the sections and clubs you picked, whether you ticked the Beyond-football shelf, any more-like-this or less-like-this presses you confirm from an email, and the date, IP address and browser string of this form and of your confirmation click. Those last two are the evidence that you asked for this; they are erased after 36 months.
  • Stored where: one append-only file on one machine — not a cloud database, and never uploaded into a marketing platform's contact list.
  • No tracking. No list sales. There is no advertiser and no data partner, because there is no product here to sell you either.
  • No cookies. This page sets none, which is also why there is no cookie banner to dismiss.
  • No tracking pixel and no open tracking. The email contains zero images, so there is nothing to load and nothing to report back. We genuinely do not know whether you opened it.
  • No click tracking. Story links go straight to the publisher, untagged and unwrapped.
  • Leave in one click, from a link in every email, with no page to argue with. Ask us to delete you and the address is stripped out of the file itself, not flagged as deleted.

Your rights. The legal basis is your consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)), and you can withdraw it at any time without giving a reason. Every email carries a one-click unsubscribe link and a link to your own record, and from that page you can download everything held about you (Art. 15/20) or erase it outright (Art. 17) — the address is stripped out of the file itself, not flagged as deleted.
