These technologies support essential functionality, performance monitoring, analytics, user preference management, and lawful delivery of advertising and affiliate attribution.
Some cookies are strictly necessary for the Website to operate correctly, while others assist in measuring usage or improving usability.
In some cases, cookies and tracking technologies may collect information that directly or indirectly identifies you.
Such data is processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy, the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the Data Protection Act 2018, and the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 (PECR), as well as guidance issued by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA), and the Gambling Commission’s Licence Conditions and Codes of Practice (LCCP).

Cookies are small text or data files stored on your browser or device when you access a website.
They help verify identity, maintain session continuity, record preferences, and enable secure system operations.
