Cookie Notice

We use cookies on this website to help it function properly and to understand how visitors interact with our content. This notice explains what cookies we place, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences.

We collect minimal data through cookies needed to operate this site

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit our website. They enable us to recognise returning visitors, remember your preferences, and maintain your session while you browse. Some cookies are essential to keep the site running—for example, they help our servers understand which page you’re viewing and prevent you from being asked to log in repeatedly if you create an account to receive updates. Others help us measure how people use the site so we can improve the experience over time.

Our cookie categories serve different purposes

Essential cookies keep our website functional. They handle session management, security verification, and remembering settings you choose while browsing. These cookies don’t store personal information and expire when you close your browser unless you choose otherwise. We also use analytics cookies to track aggregate data about visitor behaviour—which pages are visited most, how long readers spend on each section, and which external sites link to us. This helps us identify which content is most useful and where we should make improvements. Analytics cookies are non-essential, meaning you can decline them without affecting your ability to read our articles or access public information.

You can disable cookies through your browser settings at any time

Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings menu. You can choose to refuse all cookies, accept only essential ones, or delete cookies from your device whenever you wish. Instructions for managing cookies in common browsers are typically found under privacy, security, or settings sections. Keep in mind that disabling essential cookies may affect your ability to use certain features of this site. If you have questions about our cookie practices, you can contact us through the feedback form on this website.

If you’re concerned about your relationship with gambling or know someone who is, support is available through the National Gambling Helpline, which operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The service is free and confidential.

We review this notice periodically to reflect changes in our site functionality and applicable privacy laws. Updates may be made without prior notification, so we recommend checking back occasionally. The most recent review ensures our cookie practices align with current standards for informational websites and best practices for visitor privacy.
