This cookie policy explains what cookies are, how Greyhound Cards Today uses them, and how you can control your cookie preferences. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which covers broader data protection practices.
What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet or smartphone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences and to provide information to site operators about how the site is being used. Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (first-party cookies) or by third-party services operating on that site (third-party cookies).
Cookies may be 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.
How We Use Cookies
Greyhound Cards Today uses cookies for the purposes described below. We categorise them by function.
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function correctly. They enable basic features such as page navigation, secure access to content and remembering your cookie consent preferences. Without these cookies, the site cannot operate as intended. Strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and cannot be disabled.
Analytics Cookies
We may use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with the website. These cookies collect information about which pages are visited, how long visitors spend on each page, which links are clicked and whether any errors are encountered. This data is aggregated and anonymised — it does not identify individual visitors.
We may use Google Analytics for this purpose. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect standard internet log information and visitor behaviour data. This information is processed in accordance with Google’s privacy policy, available at policies.google.com/privacy. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow the website to remember choices you have made, such as your preferred theme (light or dark mode) or font size settings, if such features are available. These cookies improve your experience by providing personalised features but are not essential for the site to operate.
Advertising and Tracking Cookies
At the time of writing, Greyhound Cards Today does not use advertising cookies or third-party tracking cookies for the purpose of serving targeted advertisements. If this changes in the future, this policy will be updated accordingly and your consent will be sought before any such cookies are placed.
Third-Party Cookies
Some pages on this website may include embedded content from third-party services, such as video players, social media widgets or interactive maps. These third-party services may set their own cookies when you interact with their content. We do not control the cookies set by third-party services and recommend reviewing their respective cookie and privacy policies.
Where this site links to external websites, including bookmaker platforms, racing data providers and regulatory bodies, those sites will set their own cookies independently upon your visit. We are not responsible for the cookie practices of external websites.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have several options for managing cookies.
When you first visit the website, you will be presented with a cookie consent mechanism that allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can change your preferences at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the site, which will trigger the consent mechanism again.
You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, manage and delete cookies. The process varies by browser. Below are links to cookie management instructions for common browsers:
Google Chrome — manage cookies in Chrome settings.
Mozilla Firefox — enhanced tracking protection and cookie controls.
Apple Safari — manage cookies and website data on Mac.
Microsoft Edge — delete and manage cookies in Edge.
Please note that disabling or deleting cookies may affect the functionality of this website and other websites you visit. Some features may not work as intended if cookies are restricted.
Legal Basis for Cookie Use
Our use of strictly necessary cookies is based on our legitimate interest in providing a functional website. For all other cookies, we rely on your consent as required by the UK GDPR and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR). You can withdraw your consent at any time by adjusting your cookie preferences or browser settings as described above.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this cookie policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, changes in technology or changes in applicable law. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
