Your light or dark theme choice, the season and tabs you last looked at, media player options, and your Benfictle progress. Stored in your own browser; turning this off means the site forgets these between visits.
Content loaded from other services, such as the Fan Map and match videos.
Map tiles and place search on the Fan Map come from OpenStreetMap, match highlight videos and their thumbnails come from YouTube, and some typefaces come from Google Fonts. Requesting a file from those services reveals your IP address to them. Turning this off means the map, the videos and those fonts do not load; nothing else changes.
