This cookie policy explains what cookies are, how this website uses them, and how you can control or disable them. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides further detail on how we handle personal 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 across the internet to make websites function efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide usage data to site operators. Cookies are stored by your web browser and can be read by the website that created them on subsequent visits.
Cookies do not contain executable code and cannot install software or malware on your device. They can only store small amounts of text data.
Types of Cookies We Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences or browsing the site. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information. Without them, the site may not function as intended.
Analytics Cookies
We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with the website. These cookies collect information about which pages are visited, how long visitors spend on each page, where visitors arrive from, and how they navigate through the site. The data is aggregated and anonymous — it does not identify individual visitors. We use this information to improve the quality and relevance of our greyhound racing guides and to identify technical problems.
Analytics cookies may be provided by third-party services that operate under their own cookie and privacy policies. These services process data on our behalf and are not permitted to use it for their own purposes.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow the website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personalised features. For example, they may remember your preference for light or dark display mode, or whether you have previously dismissed a notice. These cookies do not track your activity across other websites.
Third-Party Cookies
Some pages on this website may contain embedded content or links to third-party services, such as social media sharing buttons or external video players. These third-party services may set their own cookies when you interact with their content. We do not control these cookies and they are subject to the privacy and cookie policies of the respective third parties.
External sites we link to — including GBGB, Timeform, bookmaker websites and responsible gambling resources such as BeGambleAware — have their own cookie policies which we recommend you review.
How to Manage Cookies
You have several options for managing cookies on your device.
Browser settings. Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically choose to block all cookies, block only third-party cookies, delete existing cookies, or be notified when a cookie is set. The method for managing cookies varies by browser. Instructions for the most common browsers are available at the following links:
Mozilla Firefox cookie settings
Microsoft Edge cookie settings
Consequences of disabling cookies. If you choose to block or delete cookies, some parts of the website may not function correctly. Strictly necessary cookies are required for basic site operation. Disabling analytics cookies will not affect your browsing experience but will prevent us from understanding how the site is used.
Cookie Retention
Different cookies are retained for different periods. Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set duration or until you delete them. Analytics cookies are typically retained for up to 13 months. Functional cookies that store your preferences are typically retained for up to 12 months.
Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this cookie policy from time to time to reflect changes in the technologies we use or in applicable regulations. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
