Cookie policy – Best Betting Tips

Reading tips and guides on Best Betting Tips needs very little tracking, and this policy lists what there is. Cookies are small text files saved by a browser; local and session storage entries and counting pixels behave in a similar way and are treated alike here.

What the law requires

Regulation 6 of the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 (PECR) governs the matter. Information may be stored on a user’s device, or read from it, only after clear and comprehensive information has been given and the user has consented. The one exception is storage strictly necessary to deliver a service the user asked for. Consent is measured against the UK GDPR (Article 4(11) and Article 7): it must be freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous, and withdrawing it must be as easy as giving it. When personal data is processed through cookies, the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 also apply.

Files set without a choice

Some files are needed for the site to run properly: keeping a session going, balancing load between servers, guarding forms against abuse and recording the cookie choice. These are set at once. Session files vanish when the browser closes, and the recorded choice lasts no longer than twelve months.

Files set only after consent

Functional files remember preferences, for instance which comparison tables were open last. Analytics files count page views and show which tips and guides are read, so that content can be improved. Both kinds wait for consent in the banner. IP addresses are shortened for analysis, and no profile following behaviour across sites is built.

Outside services

An embedded video or map may bring cookies of its own from the provider, whose privacy rules then also apply and to whom an objection is addressed. Best Betting Tips sets no advertising cookies for personalised ads unless the banner offers a clear choice.

Changing a choice

The “Cookie settings” link in the footer reopens the choice at any time. Withdrawal acts for the future and leaves earlier processing lawful. Browsers also allow cookies to be blocked or deleted in their privacy settings. Once the necessary files are deleted, the banner returns and some features may briefly stop working.

Complaints

Concerns about personal data can go to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK supervisory authority. How data is handled in general is set out in the site’s privacy policy.
