Cookie Policy — UK Horse Betting Guide

Last updated: March 2026

This cookie policy explains what cookies are, how this website uses them, and how you can control your cookie preferences. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal data more broadly.

What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used across the internet to make websites function correctly, to remember your preferences, and to collect information about how visitors use a site. Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (first-party cookies) or by third-party services that the website uses, such as analytics providers (third-party cookies).

Cookies may 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 We Use Cookies

This website uses cookies for the purposes described below. We categorise our cookies into three groups based on their function.

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 consent preference storage. These cookies do not collect personal data for marketing purposes and cannot be disabled without impairing the website’s functionality. Under UK PECR regulations, strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent.

Analytics cookies. These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with 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 does not identify individual visitors. We use analytics cookies to improve the structure, content, and performance of the website. Analytics cookies are only set with your consent.

Functional cookies. These cookies allow the website to remember choices you have made, such as your cookie consent preferences. They enhance your experience by enabling the site to provide features tailored to your previous interactions. Functional cookies that go beyond strict necessity are only set with your consent.

Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on this website are placed by third-party services that we use to operate and improve the site. These third parties process data in accordance with their own privacy policies. The third-party services that may set cookies on this website include analytics platforms used to measure site traffic and performance.

This website contains links to external sites, including bookmaker websites. When you follow a link to an external site, that site may set its own cookies. We have no control over cookies set by third-party websites and are not responsible for their use. We encourage you to review the cookie policies of any external site you visit.

When you first visit this website, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can change your preferences at any time by using the cookie settings option available on this website.

You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies from some or all websites. The following links provide guidance on managing cookies in common browsers:

Google Chrome — Mozilla Firefox — Safari — Microsoft Edge

Please note that blocking or deleting cookies may affect the functionality of this website and other websites you visit. Some features may not work correctly if cookies are disabled.

The retention period for cookies varies by type. Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies used for analytics typically expire after a period ranging from 30 days to 24 months, depending on the analytics provider’s default settings. Your consent preference cookie is retained for 12 months from the date you set it, after which you will be asked for your consent again.

Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a Do Not Track (DNT) setting that sends a signal to websites indicating that you do not wish to be tracked. There is currently no universal standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. This website does not currently alter its behaviour in response to DNT signals, but we respect your right to manage your privacy through the cookie consent mechanism and browser settings described above.

Your Rights

Under UK data protection law, you have rights in relation to any personal data collected through cookies, including the right to access, rectify, erase, and restrict the processing of your data. Full details of your rights are set out in our Privacy Policy. If you have concerns about how your data is handled, you have the right to lodge a complaint with 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, the third-party services we employ, or applicable regulations. The date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was last revised. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
