Cookie Policy

This cookie policy explains what cookies are, how this website uses them, what information they collect and how you can control or disable them. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides broader information about how we handle your data.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are stored 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 information to site operators. Cookies are stored by your web browser and can be read by the website that created them on subsequent visits.

Cookies can be classified by their lifespan. 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. Cookies can also be classified by their origin. First-party cookies are set by the website you are visiting. Third-party cookies are set by a domain other than the one you are visiting, typically by analytics or advertising services embedded in the page.

How We Use Cookies

This website uses a limited number of cookies for the purposes described below. We do not use cookies to serve personalised advertising or to track you across other websites.

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the basic operation of the website. They enable core functions such as page navigation, access to secure areas and compliance with your cookie consent preferences. Strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent under UK law because the site cannot function properly without them. They do not collect personal data for marketing or analytics purposes.

Analytics Cookies

We may use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with the website. These cookies collect information such as the number of visitors, the pages they view, the time spent on each page and the source that referred them to the site. The data collected by analytics cookies is aggregated and anonymised, meaning it cannot be used to identify you personally.

Analytics data helps us understand which greyhound racing guides are most useful to readers, identify pages that may need improvement and monitor overall site performance. We use this information to make editorial decisions about content priority and structure.

Preference Cookies

Preference cookies allow the website to remember choices you have made, such as your cookie consent settings or display preferences. These cookies improve your experience by avoiding the need to re-enter preferences on each visit. They do not track your browsing activity on other websites.

Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on this site may be set by third-party services that we use to operate and analyse the website. These third parties process data under their own privacy policies. We select services that meet appropriate data protection standards, but we do not control the cookies set by third-party domains.

If you follow links from this site to external websites, including bookmaker sites, those sites will set their own cookies according to their own policies. We are not responsible for cookies set by third-party websites. We recommend reviewing the cookie policy of any external site before accepting cookies there.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject non-essential cookies. There are several ways to manage your preferences:

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 receive a notification before a cookie is stored.

Clearing existing cookies. You can delete cookies that have already been stored on your device through your browser settings. This will remove any preferences or session data associated with those cookies. On your next visit, the site will treat you as a new visitor.

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

Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a Do Not Track (DNT) setting that sends a signal to websites requesting that your activity is not tracked. There is currently no universal standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. Our approach to data collection is described in this policy and applies regardless of whether a DNT signal is detected.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this cookie policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, in our data practices 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 periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
