This cookie policy explains what cookies are, how this website uses them, the types of cookies we employ, 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 data.
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to website operators about how their site is being used. Cookies are stored in your browser and can be read by the website that created them on subsequent visits.
Cookies do not contain personal information such as your name or payment details. They cannot run programs or deliver viruses to your device.
How We Use Cookies
This website uses cookies for the following purposes: to ensure the website functions correctly and delivers content as intended, to remember your cookie consent preferences so you are not asked repeatedly, to collect anonymised analytics data that helps us understand how visitors navigate the site and which pages are most useful, and to improve the website’s performance and user experience based on aggregated usage patterns.
Types of Cookies We Use
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 website cannot function properly without these cookies, and they cannot be disabled. Strictly necessary cookies do not collect information that identifies you personally. They are set in response to actions you take on the site, such as setting your cookie preferences. These cookies do not require your consent under UK law.
Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies collect information about how visitors use this website, including which pages are visited most often, how long visitors spend on each page, and whether visitors encounter error messages. The information collected by these cookies is aggregated and anonymised, meaning it does not identify individual visitors. We use this data solely to improve how the website works and to understand which content is most valuable to readers. Analytics cookies are only set with your consent.
Functionality Cookies
Functionality cookies allow the website to remember choices you have made, such as your cookie consent preference. These cookies may also remember display settings where applicable. The information collected by functionality cookies is not used for any purpose other than providing the enhanced feature you have selected.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on this website may be set by third-party services. When you visit a page that contains embedded content or uses third-party analytics tools, those services may set their own cookies on your device. We do not control third-party cookies. The third-party providers process data under their own privacy and cookie policies. We encourage you to review those policies directly if you have questions about how they handle your data.
This website contains links to external websites, including gambling operators and regulatory bodies. When you click a link and leave this website, the destination site will have its own cookie practices, which are independent of ours.
Cookie Duration
Cookies used on this website fall into two categories based on how long they persist on your device. Session cookies are temporary and are deleted automatically when you close your browser. They are used for essential site functions during your visit. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period after you close your browser. They are used for analytics and to remember your preferences between visits. The maximum retention period for persistent cookies on this website is 26 months.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
When you first visit this website, you will be presented with a cookie consent notice that allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can change your preferences at any time by clearing your cookies and revisiting the site, at which point the consent notice will appear again.
You can also control cookies through your browser settings. All major browsers allow you to view, manage, and delete cookies. The process varies by browser. Instructions for the most commonly used browsers are available at the following pages: Google Chrome cookie settings, Mozilla Firefox cookie settings, Apple Safari cookie settings, and Microsoft Edge cookie settings.
Blocking or deleting cookies may affect the functionality of this website. Strictly necessary cookies are required for the site to operate correctly, and disabling them may prevent certain features from working as intended.
Consent Under UK Law
In accordance with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) and the UK GDPR, we obtain your consent before setting any cookies that are not strictly necessary for the operation of the website. Strictly necessary cookies are exempt from the consent requirement because they are essential for providing the service you have requested. You can withdraw your consent at any time by clearing your cookies through your browser settings.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this cookie policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for regulatory reasons. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page indicates the most recent revision. We recommend checking this page periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
