Cookie Policy

This cookie policy explains what cookies are, how Greyhound Winner Guide uses them, and how you can control or disable them.

What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites function efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the site owner about how visitors use the site. Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting (first-party cookies) or by third-party services operating on that website (third-party cookies).

Cookies can be session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them manually.

How We Use Cookies

Greyhound Winner Guide uses a limited number of cookies to ensure the website operates correctly and to understand how visitors interact with our content. We do not use cookies to collect personally identifiable information or to build advertising profiles.

Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the basic functioning of the website. They may include cookies that remember your cookie consent preferences so that you are not asked to accept cookies on every page visit. Essential cookies do not require your consent under UK regulations, as the website cannot function properly without them.

Analytics Cookies

We may use analytics cookies provided by third-party services such as Google Analytics to collect anonymised information about how visitors use the site. This includes data on which pages are visited most frequently, how long visitors spend on each page, which links are clicked, and how visitors arrive at the site. This data is aggregated and does not identify individual users.

Analytics cookies help us understand which content is most useful, identify technical issues, and improve the site over time. Google Analytics sets cookies including _ga and _gid, which distinguish unique visitors and manage request rates.

Third-Party Cookies

Some external services embedded in or linked from this website may set their own cookies. These include font delivery services such as Google Fonts, which may log basic request data as part of serving web fonts to your browser. If you click through to a third-party website such as a bookmaker, that site will apply its own cookie policy, which is outside our control.

We do not use social media sharing widgets, embedded video players, or advertising networks that set tracking cookies on this site.

All major browsers allow you to view which cookies are stored, delete individual cookies or all cookies, block third-party cookies, block cookies from specific sites, block all cookies, and delete all cookies when you close the browser.
