  • Pages visited and time spent on each page
  • Referring website or search engine
  • General geographic region (country/city level — not your precise location)

This information is collected in aggregate and is used only to understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. We do not use this data to identify individual users.

2. Cookies

Baseball Ticker uses a small number of cookies to improve your experience:

  • Theme preference — we store your dark/light mode preference locally in your browser so it persists between visits. This data never leaves your device.
  • WordPress session cookies — standard WordPress cookies used for site functionality. These do not contain personal information.
  • Analytics cookies — if we use Google Analytics or similar tools, these cookies help us understand aggregate traffic patterns. You can opt out of analytics cookies through your browser settings or by using a tool like Google Analytics Opt-out.

You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time. Some features of the site may not function correctly if cookies are disabled.

We do not sell, rent, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to any third party for marketing purposes.

4. Third-Party Services

Baseball Ticker uses the following third-party services that may collect data independently under their own privacy policies:

  • MLB Stats API — we fetch live scores, standings, injury reports, and statistical data from the official MLB Stats API (statsapi.mlb.com). No personal user data is sent to this service.
