Cookie policy – Best betting exchange

A handful of technical tools keep Best betting exchange running for readers interested in betting exchanges and bookmakers in Great Britain. The sections below list the cookies and similar technologies in use, their purpose and the ways to refuse or change them. A cookie is a small text file saved by a browser; local and session storage and counting pixels behave in a similar way.

Consent and the law

Regulation 6 of the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 (PECR) governs the matter. Information may be stored on a user’s device, or already stored information accessed, only with clear and comprehensive information and the user’s consent, unless the storage is strictly necessary for a service the user has requested. Consent must reach the UK GDPR standard (Article 4(11) and Article 7): freely given, specific, informed, unambiguous, and as easy to withdraw as to give. Where cookies lead to processing of personal data, the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 also apply.

Set without consent

Some files are needed for the site to function: they keep a session open, share load between servers, guard forms against abuse and store the cookie choice itself. No separate choice is asked for them. Session files vanish when the browser closes; the stored choice lasts no longer than twelve months.

Set only after consent

Functional files remember settings such as the comparison table last opened. Analytics files count page views and show which articles are read, to improve the content. The cookie banner must be accepted first. IP addresses are shortened for analysis, and no profiles follow behaviour across different sites.

Outside services

An embedded video or map may set files of its own, and then the provider’s privacy rules apply as well; an objection is made to that provider. Best betting exchange sets no advertising cookies for personalised ads unless a clear choice is given in the banner.

Changing or withdrawing consent

The “Cookie settings” link in the footer reopens the choice at any time. Withdrawal works for the future and leaves earlier processing lawful. Browsers also let their users block and delete cookies in their own settings, and once the necessary files are deleted the banner returns and a few features may briefly stop working.

Complaints

A complaint about the handling of personal data goes to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK supervisory authority. How personal data is processed is explained in the privacy policy of this site.
