Cookie Policy
This cookie policy explains what cookies are, how we use them on the Ascot Betting Tips website, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide information to website owners, and enable certain features and functionality.
Cookies can be either 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.
Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (first-party cookies) or by third parties such as analytics providers or advertising networks (third-party cookies).
How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for several purposes on our website. The types of cookies we use fall into the following categories:
Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are necessary for the basic functioning of our website. They enable core features such as page navigation, access to secure areas, and remembering your cookie consent preferences. These cookies do not collect personal information and cannot be disabled without affecting the functionality of the website.
Without essential cookies, certain parts of the website may not work correctly. These cookies are typically set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences or logging in.
Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This data helps us improve our website structure, content, and user experience.
We use Google Analytics to analyse website traffic. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information about the pages you visit, the time you spend on each page, how you arrived at the site, and what links you click. This information is aggregated and anonymous, meaning it cannot be used to identify you personally.
You can learn more about how Google uses data at Google Privacy Policy.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalisation. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. These cookies remember choices you make, such as your preferred language or region, and provide enhanced features.
If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these features may not function properly.
Advertising Cookies
Advertising cookies may be set through our site by advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other sites.
These cookies do not directly store personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.
Specific Cookies We Use
The following table provides details about the specific cookies used on our website:
Google Analytics (_ga, _gid, _gat): These cookies are used to distinguish users and throttle request rates. They expire after two years, 24 hours, and one minute respectively.
Cookie Consent (cookieconsent_status): This cookie records your cookie consent preferences. It expires after one year.
Managing Cookies
When you first visit our website, you will be presented with a cookie banner that allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking the cookie settings link in the footer of our website.
You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies, delete existing cookies, and set preferences for specific websites. The following links provide information on managing cookies in popular browsers:
Google Chrome: support.google.com/chrome/answer/95647

Safari: support.apple.com
Microsoft Edge: support.microsoft.com
Please note that blocking or deleting cookies may affect the functionality of our website and prevent certain features from working correctly.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our website are set by third parties. These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies, which we encourage you to review. We do not control these third-party cookies and are not responsible for their use.
Third-party services we use include Google Analytics for website analytics. Where we embed content from external platforms, those platforms may also set cookies.
Do Not Track
Some browsers include a Do Not Track feature that signals to websites that you do not wish to be tracked. There is currently no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to Do Not Track signals. Our website does not currently respond to Do Not Track signals, but you can manage your cookie preferences using the methods described above.
Updates to This Policy
We may update this cookie policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
