This Cookie Policy applies to bet.techmagnetics.net, our API documentation portal, sandbox environment, and customer dashboard. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
1. Introduction
Tech Magnetics provides a Sports Betting API platform used by sportsbook operators, media companies, trading desks, and independent developers to access real-time odds, livescore, and historical sports data. This Sports API Cookie Policy describes, in plain language, the browser cookies and related technologies used across our marketing website, API documentation, sandbox, and customer dashboard, and explains the choices available to you.
This is a Developer Cookie Policy in the sense that it covers not only our marketing pages but also the tools our engineering customers rely on daily — documentation search, API key management, and usage dashboards. Where this policy refers to "you," it means any visitor, registered developer, or customer accessing our sites or platform.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow a site to recognize your browser, remember preferences such as a saved sport or timezone setting, and understand how visitors use different pages — for example, which product pages or sport coverage pages get the most attention before someone signs up for a trial.
We also use related technologies such as local storage and pixel tags, which work similarly to cookies and are covered by this policy.
Just as a stadium runs always-on lighting and tracking systems, our site uses persistent and session-based cookies to keep your experience consistent across visits.
3. Why We Use Cookies
As an Enterprise API Cookie Notice, this section sets out the specific, limited purposes for which we use website cookies:
- Keeping you signed in to your dashboard between sessions
- Remembering your selected sport, region, or display preferences
- Understanding which documentation pages and product pages are most useful
- Measuring the performance of our sandbox and onboarding flow
- Detecting and preventing fraudulent or abusive API usage
We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles for resale, and we do not sell cookie-derived data to third parties.
4. Types of Cookies We Use
Cookies can be classified along several independent dimensions: by purpose, by how long they last, and by which party sets them. The categories below cover all cookies and similar technologies used on our sites and dashboard.
4.1 Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies
Required for the website and dashboard to function — for example, maintaining your login session while you manage API keys or check billing. These cannot be switched off in our systems.
4.2 Performance & Analytics Cookies
Help us understand how visitors navigate between product pages, sport coverage pages, and documentation, so we can identify and fix friction points. Data collected through analytics cookies is aggregated wherever possible.
4.3 Functional & Preference Cookies
Remember choices you've made, such as a preferred sport on our coverage pages, a chosen display language, or a collapsed sidebar in the documentation portal.
4.4 Security Cookies
Support authentication, session integrity, and the detection of anomalous request patterns that could indicate account compromise or abusive API traffic.
4.5 Marketing & Targeting Cookies
Used sparingly, primarily to measure the effectiveness of campaigns that bring developers and operators to our sandbox sign-up page. We do not use these cookies to sell data or build profiles for third-party resale.
4.6 Session vs. Persistent Cookies
Session cookies are deleted automatically when you close your browser and are typically used to keep you logged in during a single visit. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period, allowing the site to recognize returning visitors.
4.7 First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are set directly by bet.techmagnetics.net. Third-party cookies are set by external services embedded on our pages, such as analytics or chat tools, and are governed by those providers' own cookie and privacy policies.
5. Cookie Reference Table
Below is a representative summary of the cookie categories used across our site and dashboard. Exact cookie names may vary as we update our tooling.
6. How Cookies Improve Your Experience & Support API Platform Security
Cookies allow our website and dashboard to remember context between page loads instead of asking you to re-enter it every time — your preferred sport, your saved layout, or your active session. This keeps navigation across our documentation and product pages efficient for both first-time evaluators and long-term API customers.
On the security side, certain cookies help us confirm that a dashboard request genuinely comes from an authenticated session, and help our infrastructure identify traffic patterns consistent with credential stuffing, scraping, or other abusive behavior directed at our sports data API endpoints.
7. Local Storage & Similar Tracking Technologies
In addition to cookies, our website and dashboard may use browser local storage, session storage, and pixel tags. These technologies serve similar purposes to cookies — such as remembering interface state or measuring page engagement — and are covered by the same principles set out in this policy, including your ability to clear them through your browser.
8. Cookie Consent
Where required by applicable law, we present a cookie consent banner or preference center on first visit, allowing you to accept or decline non-essential cookie categories before they are set. Strictly necessary cookies are set automatically because the site and dashboard cannot function without them. You may change your cookie consent choices at any time using the controls described in Section 9.
9. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You can control or disable cookies at any time through your browser settings or through the cookie preference control below. Most browsers let you view, delete, and block cookies on a site-by-site basis.
9.1 Browser Settings
Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge each provide built-in cookie management tools, typically found under Privacy or Security settings, where you can view stored cookies, delete them, or block future cookies from specific sites.
9.2 Impact of Disabling Cookies
Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may prevent core dashboard features — such as staying logged in or managing API keys — from working correctly. Disabling functional or analytics cookies will not affect programmatic access to our sports data API using an API key, but may reduce personalization on our website.

10. Third-Party Services
Some pages load resources from trusted third-party providers that may set their own cookies. These providers operate under their own privacy and cookie policies, which we encourage you to review.
10.1 Analytics Providers
We use analytics providers to understand aggregated usage of our documentation, sandbox, and product pages, helping us prioritize improvements to our developer experience.
10.2 Embedded Content
Certain pages may embed third-party content, such as video walkthroughs or interactive API explorers, which can set their own cookies when loaded.
10.3 Social Media Integrations
Where social sharing or follow buttons appear on our site, the associated social media platform may set its own cookies in accordance with its own policies.
We carefully vet third-party tools used on pages covering our API documentation, sandbox, and product pages to ensure they meet our security and privacy standards.
11. Data Collected, Retention Periods & International Transfers
Data collected through cookies ranges from session identifiers and authentication tokens to aggregated page-view and feature-usage statistics. Retention periods are set out in the Cookie Reference Table above and generally do not exceed 13 months for analytics cookies.
Because Tech Magnetics serves customers globally, cookie-derived data may be processed in countries other than your own. Where this occurs, we rely on appropriate safeguards consistent with our Privacy Policy. Please refer to our Privacy Policy for full detail on international data transfers.
12. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, tooling, or legal requirements. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
