Cookie Policy
Last updated: March 2026
This cookie policy explains what cookies are, how watchgreyhoundracing.co.uk (“the Website”) uses them, and how you can manage your preferences. We are committed to transparency about the technologies we use and to complying with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) and the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR).
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function more efficiently, to improve the user experience, and to provide information to the website operator. Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (“first-party cookies”) or by third-party services that the website uses (“third-party cookies”).
Cookies may 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
The Website uses a limited number of cookies for the purposes described below. We categorise them as strictly necessary cookies and analytics cookies.
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the Website to function properly. They enable basic features such as page navigation and access to secure areas. The Website cannot function correctly without these cookies, and they do not require your consent under UK regulations.
Examples include cookies that remember your cookie consent preference so that you are not asked to provide consent on every page, and cookies that maintain session integrity if you submit a contact form.
Analytics Cookies
We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with the Website. These cookies collect information about which pages are visited, how long visitors spend on the site, where visitors arrive from, and how they navigate between pages. The data collected is aggregated and anonymised, meaning it does not identify individual visitors.
We use this information to improve the Website’s content, structure, and performance. Analytics cookies are placed only with your consent.
The analytics provider we use may set the following types of cookies: a unique identifier cookie to distinguish between visitors, a session cookie to track page views within a single visit, and a campaign cookie to understand how visitors found the Website.
Third-Party Cookies
This Website does not serve advertising and does not use advertising cookies or tracking pixels. If you follow a link from this Website to a third-party website (such as a bookmaker platform, broadcaster, or social media service), that third party may set its own cookies according to its own cookie policy. We have no control over cookies set by external websites.
Your Cookie Choices
When you first visit the Website, you will be presented with a notice explaining our use of cookies and asking for your consent to non-essential cookies. You can accept or decline analytics cookies at that point.
You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the Website, at which point the consent notice will appear again.
You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, manage, and delete cookies. The following links provide guidance for commonly used browsers:
Google Chrome — manage cookies in Chrome settings.
Mozilla Firefox — enhanced tracking protection and cookie management.
Apple Safari — manage cookies and website data on Mac.
Microsoft Edge — delete and manage cookies in Edge.
Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of some websites, though disabling analytics cookies on this Website will not prevent you from accessing any content.
Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) setting that sends a signal to websites requesting that your activity not be tracked. There is currently no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. We respect your intent if you have DNT enabled and aim to minimise tracking to what is necessary for the Website to function.
