Cookie Policy

This cookie policy explains what cookies are, how they are used on this website, and how you can control them. This site publishes editorial content about greyhound racing and betting in the United Kingdom. Like most websites, it uses cookies to function properly and to understand how visitors interact with the content.

What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device — computer, tablet or smartphone — when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the site operators. Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (first-party cookies) or by third-party services operating on that site (third-party cookies).

Cookies can be session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them manually.

How This Website Uses Cookies

The cookies used on this site fall into the following categories.

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as setting your cookie preferences or accessing secure areas of the site. Without these cookies, certain parts of the website may not work correctly. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the website 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 aggregated and anonymised, meaning it cannot be used to identify individual visitors. We use this information to improve the quality and relevance of our content and to identify technical issues.

Analytics services may include tools provided by third parties such as Google Analytics. These services set their own cookies and process data according to their own privacy policies. Google’s privacy policy is available at policies.google.com/privacy.

Advertising Cookies

Advertising cookies may be set by advertising networks that operate on this site. These cookies are used to build a profile of your interests based on your browsing activity and to show you relevant advertisements on this and other websites. They do not directly store personal information but work by uniquely identifying your browser and device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will still see advertisements, but they will be less relevant to your interests.

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies enable enhanced features and personalisation, such as remembering your preferences for how content is displayed. These cookies may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these features may not function properly.

Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on this site are placed by third-party services rather than by us directly. We do not control these cookies and their use is governed by the privacy and cookie policies of the respective third parties. Third-party cookies on this site may originate from analytics providers used to measure site traffic, advertising networks used to serve and measure advertisements, content delivery networks used to serve fonts, scripts or embedded media, and social media platforms if sharing features are present on any page.

We encourage you to review the cookie and privacy policies of any third-party service you are concerned about.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have several options for managing cookies.

When you first visit this site, you may be presented with a cookie consent notice that allows you to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can change your preferences at any time by clearing your cookies and revisiting the site, which will trigger the consent notice again.

You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view which cookies are stored, delete individual or all cookies, block cookies from specific or all websites, and set preferences for first-party and third-party cookies separately. Instructions for managing cookies in common browsers are available at the following links: Google Chrome at support.google.com/chrome/answer/95647, Mozilla Firefox at support.mozilla.org, Apple Safari at support.apple.com, and Microsoft Edge at support.microsoft.com.

Please be aware that blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of this and other websites. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled without impairing basic site functionality.

Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a Do Not Track setting that sends a signal to websites requesting that your browsing activity is not tracked. There is currently no universal standard for how websites should respond to this signal. This site does not currently alter its behaviour in response to Do Not Track requests, but you can manage tracking through your cookie preferences and browser settings as described above.

Changes to This Policy

This cookie policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in the cookies we use or in applicable regulations. The date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was last revised. We encourage you to review this page occasionally to stay informed about how cookies are used.
