Privacy and cookies

dirtfan.com is a directory of dirt tracks, race schedules, news, photos, and videos. This page describes what this site stores in your browser and which third-party services may run if you allow them. It is a description of current behavior, not legal advice.

What we store on your device

• Analytics and ads choice — if you use the cookie banner, a dirtfan_consent value in local storage (accepted or declined) so we remember your choice.
• Find races — search terms travel in the page URL (q, distance, dates, class). We do not create an account for you.
• Contact form — a session cookie is used only to check the form token (CSRF). Rate limiting uses a temporary file on the server keyed to IP address.

Analytics and advertising

Google Analytics (measurement ID G-MVWSBG2YSF) and Google AdSense (publisher ca-pub-6526580004341329) run by default for visitors outside the EU/EEA, UK, and Switzerland. Those companies may set their own cookies. In the EU/EEA, UK, and Switzerland, those scripts load only after you choose Accept.

Use Continue without (or Manage cookies in the footer) to opt out. We then do not load those scripts on this visit. A dirtfan_consent value of declined or accepted is stored only after you use the banner.

Maps on Find Dirt Track Races uses the Google Maps JavaScript API when a browser key is configured. Location searches are geocoded in your browser with google.maps.Geocoder, so Google receives the location text needed to return coordinates. The site also has an optional legacy /api/geocode proxy, but Find Dirt Track Races does not use it.

Change your choice

Use Manage cookies or the same control in the footer. Changing from accept to decline removes accessible dirtfan.com analytics cookies and reloads the page so ad and analytics scripts are not requested again. Cookies set directly by third parties may remain until they expire or you clear them in your browser.
