This cookie policy explains what cookies and similar tracking technologies are used on the RacingEdge website, what purposes they serve and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which describes how we handle personal data more broadly.
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They are widely used to make websites function efficiently, to remember your preferences and to provide information to the site owner about how visitors use the site. Cookies may be set by the site you are visiting (first-party cookies) or by third-party services that the site uses (third-party cookies).
Similar technologies include pixel tags, web beacons, local storage objects and device fingerprinting scripts. Where this policy refers to cookies, it includes these related technologies unless stated otherwise.
Cookies We Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They are typically set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences or browsing the site. They do not store any personally identifiable information. Without these cookies, certain parts of the website may not work as intended.
Analytics Cookies
We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with the website. These cookies collect information such as the number of visitors, which pages are viewed most often, how visitors navigate between pages and whether they encounter any errors. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and used solely to improve the site. We use analytics services that process data in accordance with their own privacy policies and under contractual terms that restrict the use of your data to providing analytics services on our behalf.
Performance Cookies
Performance cookies help us monitor site speed, uptime and technical reliability. They allow us to identify and resolve issues that affect the user experience, such as slow-loading pages or broken functionality. These cookies do not collect information that identifies individual visitors.
Third-Party Cookies
When you follow a link from RacingEdge to an external website, that site may set its own cookies on your device. We have no control over third-party cookies. This applies to links to bookmakers, racing authorities, news outlets and any other external sites referenced in our content. We recommend reviewing the cookie policies of those sites before accepting their cookies.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can manage your preferences in the following ways:
- Browser settings. Most web browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through their settings menu. The steps vary by browser. Guidance is available from the browser developers: Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Microsoft Edge.
- Opt-out tools. Some analytics providers offer their own opt-out mechanisms. For example, Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on prevents Google Analytics from collecting data about your visits.
If you choose to block all cookies, some features of the website may not function as expected. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled without affecting core site functionality.
Cookie Retention
Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them manually. Analytics cookies set on this site typically expire within 12 to 24 months from the date they are set, depending on the specific cookie.
Legal Basis
Strictly necessary cookies are set without consent because they are essential for the website to operate. For all other cookies, we rely on your consent in accordance with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) and UK GDPR. You may withdraw your consent at any time by adjusting your browser settings or using the opt-out tools described above.
