This cookie policy explains what cookies and similar technologies are, how we use them on this website, and how you can manage your preferences. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides further detail on how we handle personal data.
What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to site operators about how their pages are used. Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting (first-party cookies) or by third-party services that operate on the site, such as analytics providers or font delivery networks.
Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixel tags. These serve comparable functions to cookies and are covered by this policy.
Cookies We Use
Strictly necessary cookies. These cookies are essential for the basic operation of the website. They enable core functions such as page navigation and access to secure areas. The site cannot function properly without them. These cookies do not collect personal data for marketing purposes and are set automatically when you visit the site. They are typically session cookies that expire when you close your browser.
Analytics cookies. We may use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our content. These cookies collect information about which pages you visit, how long you spend on each page, and how you arrived at the site. The data is processed in aggregate and does not identify individual visitors by name. Analytics cookies help us identify which greyhound racing topics and guides are most read, where visitors tend to leave the site, and how different sections of our form analysis and betting content perform over time. This information guides our editorial decisions and helps us improve the site.
Preference cookies. These cookies remember choices you make on the site, such as your preferred colour scheme if a light and dark theme toggle is available. They improve your experience by ensuring the site displays consistently between visits. Preference cookies typically persist for a set duration, often between 30 days and one year.
Third-party cookies. Some third-party services integrated into this site may set their own cookies. These include Google Fonts, which may use cookies when delivering typefaces to your browser, and analytics platforms, which use cookies to distinguish between new and returning visitors. Each third-party service operates under its own cookie and privacy policy. We do not control the cookies set by third parties.
Cookies We Do Not Use
We do not use advertising or remarketing cookies. We do not serve targeted advertisements, run retargeting campaigns, or track your browsing activity across other websites for marketing purposes. We do not use social media tracking pixels or share cookie data with advertising networks.
Managing Your Cookies
You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view which cookies are stored, delete individual cookies or all cookies, block cookies from specific sites or from all sites, and set preferences for first-party and third-party cookies separately.
Instructions for managing cookies in commonly used browsers are available on their respective support pages: Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, and Microsoft Edge.
Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the website. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled without impairing core site operations. If you block analytics cookies, we will not be able to include your visit in our aggregate usage data, but your browsing experience will not be affected.
Consent
Where required by applicable law, including the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 and the UK GDPR, we obtain your consent before setting non-essential cookies. Strictly necessary cookies, which are required for the site to function, do not require consent. You may withdraw your consent at any time by adjusting your browser settings or by clearing your cookies.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this cookie policy periodically to reflect changes in the cookies we use, the third-party services we integrate, or applicable regulations. The date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was last revised.
