Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how topgamblingsites-uk.com (referred to as “PunterLedger”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit the website. It is written for readers in the United Kingdom and reflects the requirements of the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR), the UK General Data Protection Regulation and guidance issued by the Information Commissioner’s Office.
What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file stored on your device by your browser when you visit a website. Similar technologies include local storage, pixel tags and software development kits embedded in scripts. They allow a website to recognise your browser between page views and remember preferences or state. Cookies are not programs and cannot read other files on your device.
Categories of cookies we use
topgamblingsites-uk.com uses a small number of cookies, organised into the categories below.
Strictly necessary
These cookies are required for the website to function. They include session identifiers that keep the site responsive, security tokens that protect against cross-site request forgery, and load-balancing identifiers used by our hosting infrastructure. Strictly necessary cookies are set automatically and do not require consent under PECR because they are essential to the service that you have requested by loading the page.
Performance and analytics
Where present, these cookies help us understand how readers use topgamblingsites-uk.com in aggregate. They record information such as the article you viewed, time on page and approximate geographic region, and they help us identify which editorial pieces are most useful to readers. We use aggregated, non-identifying analytics where reasonably possible. Analytics cookies are set only with your consent and can be withdrawn at any time.
Functional
These cookies remember choices you make on the site, for example dark-mode preference or whether you have dismissed a notice. They make the reading experience more convenient but are not essential to delivery of the content. They are set only with your consent.
Marketing
topgamblingsites-uk.com does not host advertising and does not set marketing or advertising-tracking cookies. If this position changes, this policy will be updated and consent will be requested before any such cookies are placed.
Third-party cookies
Some functionality is delivered through third-party services, including web fonts and the hosting infrastructure. Where third parties are able to set cookies through topgamblingsites-uk.com, we limit this to providers that have been assessed for compliance with UK GDPR and PECR. The relevant third-party providers publish their own cookie information, and a link to those policies is shown on the consent banner where applicable.
How consent works
When you first visit topgamblingsites-uk.com, a consent notice is presented for non-essential cookies. You can accept, reject or set preferences by category. Your choice is recorded for a reasonable period so that the banner does not re-appear at every visit. You can change your preferences at any time by using the cookie settings link in the site footer, or by clearing cookies for topgamblingsites-uk.com in your browser, which will cause the banner to appear again.
Managing cookies through your browser
You can manage cookies directly through your browser. Most modern browsers allow you to block all cookies, block third-party cookies only, delete cookies on close, or whitelist specific sites. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect the functionality of the site. The “Help” or “Privacy” section of your browser explains the options available for your specific version.
Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control signals
Where your browser sends a Do Not Track header or a Global Privacy Control signal, we treat that signal as a withdrawal of consent for non-essential cookies, in line with current ICO guidance, and we do not set analytics or functional cookies until you actively opt in through the consent interface.
Children
topgamblingsites-uk.com is intended for readers aged 18 or over and is not designed for children. We do not set cookies for the purpose of profiling minors and do not knowingly collect data on children through cookies or similar technologies.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the technologies we use, in the legal framework or in editorial practice. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page indicates when the most recent revision was made.
