This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them on our website, and how you can manage your cookie preferences. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides further information about how we handle your data.
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to website owners about how visitors use their sites.
Cookies can be either session cookies or persistent cookies. Session cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them manually.
Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (first-party cookies) or by other websites whose content appears on the page (third-party cookies).
How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for several purposes on our website:
Essential Cookies: These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. They enable basic features like page navigation and access to secure areas. The website cannot function correctly without these cookies, and they cannot be disabled.
Performance and Analytics Cookies: These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, including which pages are visited most often and whether users encounter error messages. This information helps us improve how our website works. These cookies do not collect information that identifies individual visitors. All information is aggregated and anonymous.
Functionality Cookies: These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make, such as your preferred language or region. They provide enhanced, more personalised features. The information collected by these cookies may be anonymised, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.
Targeting and Advertising Cookies: These cookies may be set through our website by advertising partners. They may be used to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other websites. They work by uniquely identifying your browser and device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.
Specific Cookies We Use
Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our website. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information about page views, session duration, traffic sources and user behaviour. This data is processed in aggregate form and does not identify individual users. You can learn more about Google Analytics cookies at Google’s Privacy Policy.
Consent Management: We use cookies to remember your cookie preferences. When you make choices about which cookies to accept, we store these preferences so you do not have to make the same choices on every visit.
Third-Party Cookies
Some pages on our website may contain content from third parties, such as embedded videos, social media buttons or advertising. These third parties may set their own cookies when you interact with their content. We do not control these cookies and cannot access them. Please refer to the privacy policies of these third parties for information about their cookies.
When you click links to external websites, including gambling operators mentioned in our content, those websites may set their own cookies according to their own policies.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have several options for managing cookies:
Browser Settings: Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can usually set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie, allowing you to decide whether to accept it. You can also delete cookies that have already been set. The specific steps depend on your browser. Consult your browser’s help documentation for instructions.
Opt-Out Tools: Some analytics providers offer opt-out mechanisms. For Google Analytics, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Do Not Track: Some browsers include a Do Not Track feature that sends a signal to websites indicating you do not wish to be tracked. Our response to Do Not Track signals may vary depending on the technical implementation.
Consequences of Disabling Cookies
If you choose to disable cookies, some features of our website may not function as intended. Essential cookies are required for basic website functionality. Disabling analytics cookies means we cannot understand how visitors use our website, which may affect our ability to improve the user experience.
Disabling cookies will not prevent you from accessing the informational content on our website, but interactive features and personalisation may be affected.
Cookies and Personal Data
Some cookies may collect personal data, such as your IP address. Where this occurs, the collection and processing of this data is governed by our Privacy Policy. We process cookie-related personal data in accordance with UK data protection law, including the UK GDPR.
Analytics cookies collect data in aggregate form that does not personally identify you. However, when combined with other information, such as account details if you log in to a service, cookies could potentially be linked to identifiable individuals.
Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Any changes will be posted on this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
