Cookies placed on your device

With your consent, MLB may store small text files ("cookies") on your device when you access our websites or online pages. These files contain letters and numbers that help us remember your preferences and tailor the experience to your needs.

We also use local shared objects, often called "flash cookies", which operate similarly to browser cookies and help us recognize returning visits across MLB sites. Neither cookies nor flash cookies allow us to access the contents of your device or collect information stored on it.

These technologies exist solely to monitor how our services are used and to log your preferences. They support traffic analysis, improve product quality, simplify authentication, and make the content you see more relevant. Flash cookies and other cookies may be used to deliver more targeted communications about MLB services.

Important and necessary cookies

Strictly necessary cookies enable core functionality such as navigating secure areas, completing registration steps, or making transactions. Without them, many protected sections of the site cannot function correctly.

During registration, cookies store information that allows us to recognise you as a customer and deliver the requested services. MLB may use this data to better understand your interests and to refine the platform experience.

Our website

MLB uses cookies to collect information about visitors and improve site performance. Our servers use three main types of cookies:

• Session-based cookies – assigned only for the duration of a visit. They help you navigate faster and deliver relevant information. They expire automatically when the browser closes.
• Persistent cookies – remain on your device for a set period defined by the cookie and support personalised features. Flash cookies are also persistent.
• Analytical cookies – allow MLB to count visitors, see how content is used, and ensure you can find key tools quickly.

You always decide whether to accept or decline cookies. Most browsers accept them automatically, but settings can be changed at any time.

Managing cookies

You can configure your browser to:

• delete all cookies;
• block all cookies or only third-party cookies;
• allow all cookies;
• clear cookies when the browser closes;
• open a "private browsing"/"incognito" session that stores no local data;
• install add-ons and plug-ins for additional control.

Flash cookies

Flash Player settings can be modified to prevent the use of flash cookies. The Flash Player settings manager lets you manage these preferences.

Declining all cookies may limit your ability to use certain features on MLB websites. Some services rely on cookies to store language selections or to keep sessions active, so blocking them may cause sections of the platform to function incorrectly.
