New era for the foals: start of training with Castrop and Diks!
The football community in Cologne is excited again: the start of training for the new season has begun and there is great anticipation for the upcoming games. Numerous fans flocked to the training ground to watch the team's first training sessions under new coaches Jens Castrop and Kevin Diks. Both coaches bring a breath of fresh air and they hope for an exciting season that offers new challenges and successes.

The technology and its effects
In addition to sporting events, there are increasing discussions about the handling of data and cookies on the Internet, which are also important for football clubs. Data is considered the new currency on the Internet, and tracking technologies play a central role in gaining valuable insights into user behavior. Companies use these techniques to develop targeted marketing measures and optimize their offers. This is no different in sports marketing.
Cookies, small text files that are stored on devices when you visit websites, play a crucial role here. They make it possible to recognize users and analyze their behavior. A distinction is made between technically necessary cookies that do not store personal data and those that are often linked to login data and advertising purposes. The latter require the explicit consent of users, which is regulated by cookie banners that can be found on most websites today. These banners are not only a legal necessity, they also influence how users interact with online offerings.
Transparency and responsibility in data protection
Especially in sports and events, it is important to handle data transparently. Clubs must ensure that their privacy policy contains all relevant information about cookies and tracking technologies. Compliance with data protection regulations is not only a legal obligation, but also a sign of responsibility towards fans and supporters. When fans give consent for tracking, it's often the first step toward creating personalized experiences—whether through targeted advertising or tailored offers.
In a world where the boundaries between sport, technology and data protection are becoming increasingly blurred, it remains to be seen how clubs will master this balancing act. The start in Cologne shows that there is a lot in flux not only on the field but also off it. The future remains exciting and we can look forward to many surprises – both on and off the pitch.
