Draft — review by a solicitor before launch. Cookie names, providers and lifetimes marked "to be confirmed" must be completed before publication and kept in step with the site's actual configuration.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored in your browser by a website. They let a site remember choices, keep you logged in or measure how pages are used. Similar technologies (local storage, pixels) are treated the same way in this policy.
2. The categories we use
| Category | Purpose | Consent needed? | Examples (to be confirmed) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Recording your consent choices; security tokens; rate limiting; editorial log-in session | No — the site cannot work without them | Consent-preference cookie; CSRF token; admin session cookie |
| Analytics | Understanding which pages are used, how visitors arrive and where the site fails, so we can improve it | Yes | Analytics provider cookies (provider to be named) |
| Affiliate measurement | Attributing a bookmaker sign-up or bet to a link on this site so that commission can be paid | Yes | Affiliate network cookies (networks to be named) |
| Preferences | Remembering settings such as odds format (fractional or decimal) | Yes, unless stored only in your browser without identifying you | Local storage key for odds format |
We do not use advertising cookies that build a profile of you across other sites.
3. Consent
When you first visit, a banner asks for your choices. Nothing in the analytics, affiliate or preference categories is set until you accept. The banner's default is to decline non-essential cookies; declining does not limit your access to the site.
4. Changing your choices
- Use the cookie settings link in the footer at any time.
- Or delete cookies in your browser; the site will ask again on your next visit.
- Browser settings can also block cookies entirely, though strictly necessary functions may then fail.
5. Third-party cookies
When you follow a link to a bookmaker or other third party, that site may set its own cookies under its own policy. We do not control them. Affiliate-measurement cookies set on this site are used only for attribution and are set only with your consent.
6. Cookie list
The full list of cookies, with name, provider, purpose and lifetime, is to be inserted here before launch and maintained as the site changes.
