This page explains how Bluebetz uses cookies on this portal – the site you are reading now, not the operator's own platform. We keep this explanation short and specific, because a cookie notice nobody reads is worse than no notice at all.
What a cookie does on this site
A cookie is a small text file your browser stores when you visit a page. It lets a site remember something between requests – that you were here before, which settings you chose, or how you arrived. On its own a cookie cannot read your hard drive or identify you by name; it holds a token our server can recognise on your next visit.
The categories we use
| Category | Purpose | Consent needed |
|---|---|---|
| Necessary | Keeps the site functioning – page structure, security, load balancing | No |
| Analytics | Tells us which pages are read and for how long, in aggregate | Yes |
| Marketing and advertising | Measures whether our content led anywhere useful | Yes |
| Preference | Remembers small choices, such as a dismissed banner | Yes |
Necessary cookies are set the moment you land here and cannot be switched off without breaking basic navigation. The other three categories only run once you have given consent through the banner shown on your first visit.
Third-party scripts on this portal
Some of the cookies you will see in your browser's storage were not set by us directly. Analytics and advertising providers we work with can place their own cookies once you consent, so that they can measure traffic and campaign performance across sites, not just this one. We do not control what those third parties do with their own cookie once it leaves our page, so it is worth checking their own privacy notices if you want the full picture.
Turning cookies off in your browser
You can block or delete cookies at any time, independently of our banner, through your browser's own settings.
- Chrome – Settings, Privacy and security, Cookies and other site data.
- Firefox – Settings, Privacy & Security, Cookies and Site Data.
- Safari – Preferences, Privacy, Manage Website Data.
- Edge – Settings, Cookies and site permissions.
Turning off necessary cookies will usually break navigation and forms on this portal. Turning off analytics or marketing cookies changes nothing about how the site works for you – it only stops us seeing aggregated usage data.
Consent and what happens if you decline
The banner shown on your first visit lets you accept all categories, reject the optional ones, or make a selection. Declining analytics and marketing cookies does not restrict access to any content on this site – you will still be able to read every page normally.
Changes to this policy
We may update this cookie policy as the tools we use change. Any revision is posted on this page, and continued use of the site after an update counts as acceptance of the current version.
Getting in touch
Questions about this cookie policy can be sent to [email protected]. This portal is intended for readers aged 18 and over (18+), and nothing here is written for or aimed at anyone below that age.
