This cookie policy explains what cookies and similar technologies this website uses, the purposes they serve, and how you can control them. We comply with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR).
What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They are widely used to make websites function efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to site operators. Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (first-party cookies) or by third-party services operating on that website (third-party cookies).
Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixel tags. This policy covers all such technologies collectively under the term “cookies” unless a distinction is necessary.
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, access to secure areas, and remembering your cookie consent preferences. These cookies do not collect personal data for marketing purposes and cannot be disabled without affecting site functionality.
Legal basis: these cookies are exempt from consent requirements under PECR Regulation 6(4) because they are strictly necessary for the provision of the service you have requested.
Cookie consent preference. Stores your choice regarding non-essential cookies. Duration: 12 months. First-party.
Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the website by collecting information about pages visited, time spent on each page, traffic sources, and general usage patterns. The data collected is aggregated and does not directly identify individual visitors.
Legal basis: consent. These cookies are only set after you have given explicit consent through the cookie notice on this site.
Traffic analysis. Records page views, session duration, bounce rate, and approximate geographic region. Duration: up to 26 months. May be first-party or third-party depending on the analytics provider.
Performance measurement. Measures page load times and site performance to help us identify and resolve technical issues. Duration: session to 12 months.
Functional Cookies
These cookies remember choices you make on the website to provide a more personalised experience. They may store preferences such as your preferred colour scheme (light or dark mode) if such a feature is available.
Legal basis: consent for non-essential functional cookies; legitimate interest where the functionality is integral to the service requested.
Theme preference. Stores your light or dark mode selection if manually set. Duration: 12 months. First-party.
Third-Party Cookies
Google Fonts. This site loads typefaces from Google Fonts. Google may set cookies or collect your IP address when delivering font files. Google’s cookie practices are described in their privacy policy at policies.google.com/privacy.
External links. This website links to third-party gambling operators and other external services. If you follow these links, those websites may set their own cookies. We have no control over cookies set by third-party sites. We recommend reviewing the cookie and privacy policies of any external site before interacting with it.
How to Manage Cookies
You have several options for controlling cookies:
Cookie consent controls. When you first visit this site, a cookie notice allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can change your preference at any time by clearing your cookies and revisiting the site, which will trigger the consent notice again.
Browser settings. All major browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through their settings menus. The following links provide instructions for the most common browsers:
Google Chrome: support.google.com/chrome/answer/95647
Mozilla Firefox: support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/clear-cookies-and-site-data-firefox
Apple Safari: support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/safari/sfri11471
Microsoft Edge: support.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge
Do Not Track. Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” signal. There is currently no universal standard for how websites should respond to this signal. We respect browser-level privacy settings where technically feasible.
Consequences of blocking cookies. If you block all cookies, including strictly necessary ones, some parts of this website may not function correctly. Blocking only non-essential cookies will not affect core site functionality.
Data Processing and Retention
Data collected through cookies is processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy. Analytics data is retained in aggregated, non-identifiable form. Cookie files on your device expire according to the durations listed above, or when you manually delete them.
Your Rights
Under UK GDPR, you have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, or port any personal data collected through cookies, and to withdraw consent at any time. For full details of your rights and how to exercise them, see our Privacy Policy.
If you have concerns about how this website uses cookies, you may lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint.
