This policy explains what cookies are, how we use them on this website, and how you can manage your cookie preferences. We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use and giving you control over your browsing experience.
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device when you visit. They serve various purposes, from remembering your preferences to helping website operators understand how visitors use their sites. Cookies are widely used across the internet and are essential for many website features to function properly.
Cookies can be either first-party cookies, set by the website you are visiting, or third-party cookies, set by other domains such as analytics providers or content delivery networks.
Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function correctly. They enable core features such as page navigation, access to secure areas, and basic functionality. The website cannot operate properly without these cookies, and they cannot be disabled.
Essential cookies do not collect personal information for marketing purposes and are typically deleted when you close your browser or shortly thereafter.
Analytics Cookies
We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our website. These cookies collect information about pages visited, time spent on the site, how you arrived at the site, and any errors encountered. This information helps us improve our content and user experience.
Analytics data is collected in aggregate form and does not personally identify individual visitors. We use this information solely to analyse trends and optimise our website performance.
Preference Cookies
Preference cookies remember choices you make to improve your experience, such as your preferred language, region, or display settings. These cookies allow the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalisation based on your selections.
If you do not allow preference cookies, some website features may not function as intended, but core content will remain accessible.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our website are placed by third-party services that we use to enhance functionality or analyse usage. These may include web analytics services, content delivery networks, and embedded content from external platforms.
Third-party services operate under their own cookie policies, which we encourage you to review. We do not control how third parties use cookies, though we select services that align with our commitment to user privacy.
Cookie Duration
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.
Most cookies we use are session cookies or short-duration persistent cookies that expire within a few days to a few months. Analytics cookies may persist longer to enable accurate measurement of returning visitors over time.
Managing Your Cookies
You have control over the cookies stored on your device. Most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings. You can typically find cookie controls in your browser’s privacy or security settings.
Common options include blocking all cookies, blocking only third-party cookies, deleting existing cookies, and being notified when cookies are set. Please note that blocking or deleting cookies may affect website functionality and your browsing experience.
Browser-Specific Instructions
To manage cookies, access your browser’s settings menu. In most browsers, you will find cookie controls under Privacy, Security, or Content Settings. Each browser handles cookies differently, so consult your browser’s help documentation for specific instructions.
For mobile devices, cookie settings are typically found within the browser app settings or your device’s general privacy settings.
Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a Do Not Track feature that signals to websites that you do not wish to be tracked. There is currently no universal standard for how websites should respond to Do Not Track signals. We aim to respect your privacy preferences and limit tracking where technically feasible.
External Links
Our website contains links to external websites, including gambling operators and regulatory bodies. These external sites have their own cookie policies that are independent of ours. We recommend reviewing the cookie policies of any external sites you visit through our links.
Updates to This Policy
We may update this cookie policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable regulations. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
