Cookie Policy
Last updated: 18 June 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Free Horse Racing Betting uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit the site. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which sets out how we handle personal data more generally. This Policy is provided in line with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and the UK General Data Protection Regulation.
What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your device when you visit it. Cookies allow the site to recognise your device on a return visit, to remember preferences you have set, and to measure in an anonymised way how the site is being used. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage and tracking pixels. For the purposes of this Policy we refer to all of these as “cookies”.
Categories of cookies we use
We group the cookies on Free Horse Racing Betting into three categories. Strictly necessary cookies are required for the site to function — for example, to remember whether you have dismissed the cookie banner, to deliver pages securely, and to protect the site against abuse. These cookies are set automatically and cannot be refused through the banner, but you can still delete them through your browser at any time.
Analytics cookies help us understand how readers navigate the site at an aggregate level — which pages are read, which sections drop off, which pages are entered from a search engine. Where we use analytics cookies, we configure them to anonymise visitor data as far as the tool allows, and we do not use them to build a profile of individual readers. Analytics cookies are set only with your consent.
Functional cookies remember preferences that make the site more convenient to use, for example a preferred text size or a dismissed banner. They are optional and are set only with your consent where required by PECR.
We do not use advertising cookies. Free Horse Racing Betting does not display third-party advertising, does not operate affiliate tracking cookies, and does not share data with advertising networks for the purpose of building an advertising profile of you.
Third-party cookies
Some cookies on the site are set by third-party services we use to run the site — for example, our content delivery network, our security provider and, where enabled, our analytics provider. We pick these providers carefully and require them to process data only on our instructions. Those third parties may, however, set their own cookies when you load resources served from their systems, and those cookies are subject to the providers’ own policies. We list our main providers in our Privacy Policy.
How long cookies last
Session cookies last only for the duration of your visit and are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period — typically between a day and thirteen months — or until you delete them. The consent banner shows the retention period for each category of cookie.
How you can control cookies
When you first visit the site you are shown a consent banner that allows you to accept or refuse each category of non-essential cookie. You can change your preferences at any time by reopening the banner from the footer of any page. You can also control cookies directly through your browser settings — every major browser allows you to block all cookies, to block third-party cookies only, to delete cookies on exit and to clear existing cookies. Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may cause parts of the site to stop working correctly.
For more general information about cookies and about your rights under UK data protection law, the Information Commissioner’s Office publishes guidance for consumers on its official website.
Changes to this Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the law, in the cookies we use or in how we operate the site. The “Last updated” date above always shows when the current version took effect. Material changes will be notified through the consent banner when you next visit the site.
