Cookie Policy
This cookie policy explains what cookies are, how we use them on this website, and how you can manage your cookie preferences. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides further detail on how we handle your information.
What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit. They are widely used across the internet to make websites function efficiently, to provide information to site owners, and to improve the user experience. Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting (first-party cookies) or by third-party services that the website uses (third-party cookies).
Cookies can be temporary (session cookies), which are deleted when you close your browser, or persistent (stored cookies), which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them manually.
How We Use Cookies
We use a limited number of cookies to operate the site effectively and to understand how visitors interact with our content. The cookies we use fall into the following categories.
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the basic operation of the website. They enable core functionality such as page navigation and access to secure areas. The site cannot function properly without them. Strictly necessary cookies do not collect personal information for marketing purposes and do not track your browsing activity across other sites. These cookies do not require your consent under UK regulations.
Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the site by collecting information about which pages are visited, how long visitors spend on each page, and how they arrived at the site. This data is collected in aggregate form, meaning we see overall trends rather than individual visitor behaviour. We use this information to identify which content is most useful, to improve the structure and navigation of the site, and to monitor technical performance.
Analytics cookies may be set by third-party services we use. These services process data in accordance with their own privacy policies. The information collected typically includes your IP address (which may be anonymised), browser type, device type, screen resolution, and approximate geographic location derived from your IP address.
Preference Cookies
Preference cookies allow the site to remember choices you make, such as your preferred colour scheme (light or dark mode) if such a feature is available. These cookies improve your experience by avoiding the need to re-enter settings on each visit. They do not track your activity across other websites.
Third-Party Cookies
Our site may contain links to external websites, including bookmaker sites, the Greyhound Board of Great Britain, and responsible gambling organisations. If you follow these links and visit external sites, those sites may set their own cookies. We have no control over cookies set by third parties and are not responsible for them. We recommend that you review the cookie policies of any external site you visit.
We do not use advertising cookies or retargeting cookies on this site. We do not allow third-party advertising networks to set cookies through our pages.
Managing Your Cookies
You have the right to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default, but you can adjust your browser settings to refuse cookies, to alert you when a cookie is being set, or to delete cookies that have already been stored. The method for managing cookies varies between browsers.
In Google Chrome, open Settings, then Privacy and Security, then Cookies and Other Site Data, where you can block third-party cookies, block all cookies, or clear existing cookies.
In Mozilla Firefox, open Settings, then Privacy and Security, and adjust the cookie settings under Enhanced Tracking Protection or the Cookies and Site Data section.
In Safari, open Preferences, then Privacy, where you can manage cookies through the Prevent Cross-Site Tracking and Block All Cookies options.
In Microsoft Edge, open Settings, then Cookies and Site Permissions, then Manage and Delete Cookies and Site Data.
Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of this site and other websites you visit. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled through our site, as they are required for basic operation.
Your Consent
When you first visit our site, we will ask for your consent to set non-essential cookies (analytics and preference cookies). You can accept or decline these cookies at that point. You may also change your preferences at any time by clearing your cookies through your browser settings and revisiting the site, which will prompt the consent choice again.
Strictly necessary cookies are set without consent, as they are required for the site to function. This is consistent with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) and guidance from the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).
Changes to This Policy
We may update this cookie policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. The date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was last revised. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
