Cookie Policy

Last updated: 13 July 2026

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which cookies nbabettinghelp.com uses, why we use them and how you can control your cookie preferences. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your device when you visit it. Cookies are widely used to make websites work efficiently, to remember user preferences across visits and to provide reporting information to the site’s operators. Some technologies that are not strictly cookies — such as local storage, session storage and pixel tags — operate in a similar way and are treated together with cookies in this policy.

nbabettinghelp.com uses cookies in line with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and guidance issued by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). Where cookies are not strictly necessary for the Site to function, we rely on your prior consent, which you can give or withhold through the cookie banner that appears on your first visit.

Categories of cookies we use

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are essential for the Site to operate correctly. They cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as recording your cookie-consent preferences or maintaining basic session state. No prior consent is required for these cookies under PECR.

Typical examples:

  • A consent cookie that records whether you have accepted, rejected or customised the cookie banner. Duration: up to 12 months.
  • A session cookie that maintains technical continuity while you move between pages. Duration: cleared when you close your browser.

Analytics cookies

These cookies are used only with your consent. They help us understand how many people visit nbabettinghelp.com, which articles are read most often and how readers move through the Site. We use this information to improve the Site and to prioritise editorial work. IP addresses are anonymised or truncated where supported by the analytics provider.

Typical purposes:

  • Counting unique visitors over time without identifying them by name.
  • Measuring how long readers spend on a page.
  • Identifying technical errors, such as broken pages or slow load times.

If you do not consent to analytics cookies, the Site will function normally and we will simply have no measurement data on your visit.

Functional cookies

If we introduce optional features in future — for example, a dark-mode toggle or a saved-reading list — any associated cookies will be classified as functional and will require your consent. At present nbabettinghelp.com does not use functional cookies beyond consent state.

Advertising cookies

nbabettinghelp.com does not run third-party advertising networks, behavioural retargeting pixels or affiliate-tracking scripts in editorial pages. We therefore do not use advertising or marketing cookies. If this position changes, this Cookie Policy will be updated before any advertising cookies are deployed, and consent will be requested through the cookie banner.

Third-party services

Some of the cookies on nbabettinghelp.com may be set by third-party services that we rely on to operate the Site, including our analytics provider and font-delivery service. Where this is the case, the third party acts under its own privacy and cookie terms, and we recommend that you also review those documents.

Outbound links to bookmakers, regulators and external publications are plain hyperlinks and do not set tracking cookies on nbabettinghelp.com.

You can manage your cookie preferences in three ways:

  • Cookie banner. On your first visit, you are presented with a banner that allows you to accept all, reject non-essential, or customise your choices. You can re-open the banner at any time using the cookie-settings link in the Site footer.
  • Browser settings. Most modern browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through their privacy settings. The exact steps depend on the browser you use; the official help pages of Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge each provide clear instructions.
  • Device settings. On mobile devices, the operating system also offers controls for limiting tracking and clearing site data.

Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may cause parts of the Site to fail to load or to behave unexpectedly.

Do Not Track signals

nbabettinghelp.com honours the “Global Privacy Control” signal where it is reliably received by our analytics integration. The legacy “Do Not Track” browser header is not consistently implemented across browsers and is not a substitute for the explicit consent mechanism described above.

Children

nbabettinghelp.com publishes content concerning a legally restricted activity and is intended for readers aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly set cookies on devices used by minors. If you believe this has happened, please contact us via the channel published in our Privacy Policy.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, for example when we add or remove a third-party service. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page indicates when the most recent version was published. If a change materially affects the categories of cookies in use, we will surface the cookie banner again to ask for fresh consent.
