Cookies on this Betbolt review page: what we set and why
Start playingHow this site remembers you
This page explains the cookies used on betbolt.org.uk, the independent portal you're reading right now, while it covers Betbolt as a reviewed brand rather than as the operator itself. A cookie is simply a small text file a website leaves on your device so it can recognise your browser on a return visit. We use them sparingly, and only for the purposes described below – never to track you across unrelated sites.
Some cookies here are strictly necessary: they keep the site working, remember basic preferences like your cookie choice, and don't require consent. Others exist only if you agree to them.
| Category | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Necessary | Core site functions, security, remembering your cookie settings |
| Analytics (consent) | Understanding which pages get read, in aggregate |
| Marketing & advertising (consent) | Measuring referral traffic from partner links |
| Preference | Language and display choices you've already made |
The analytics question
We use analytics cookies to see, in aggregate, which sections of the Betbolt coverage get read and which don't – nothing more sinister than page views and time on page. This data is anonymised at the point we look at it; it doesn't identify you personally, and it isn't sold on. If you decline analytics cookies, the site still works exactly the same way for you.
Scripts we do not control
A handful of embedded elements – think a map widget, an affiliate tracking pixel, or a shared script from an analytics provider – are set by third parties rather than by us directly. We don't control what those providers do with the data their scripts collect, so it's worth checking their own cookie or privacy notices if you want the full picture. None of these third-party scripts belong to Betbolt itself: this portal is not the operator, and any cookies Betbolt's own platform sets once you visit its site are governed by its own policies, not this one.
What third-party scripts typically cover
- Aggregate traffic measurement
- Referral and click tracking for affiliate links
- Occasional embedded content (video or map)
Your options
You're in control of all of this. Most desktop and mobile browsers let you view, block or delete cookies through their settings menu:
- Chrome – Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Firefox – Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari – Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Edge – Settings → Cookies and site permissions
Turning off non-essential cookies won't stop you reading this site, though a preference cookie you disable will simply be forgotten each visit. Where our consent banner offers a choice, that choice is remembered until you clear your browser data or change your mind.
Consent and what happens if you say no
Declining analytics or marketing cookies means we learn less about how the site is used, but nothing on the page stops functioning. Necessary cookies can't be switched off from our banner because the site genuinely needs them to run – you can still block those at browser level, at the risk of some pages behaving oddly.
Revisions
This policy may be updated from time to time as our own tools or third-party providers change; the current version applies from the date below. This content is intended for readers aged 18 and over (18+), in line with the rest of the site, and it sits alongside our approach to responsible gambling information elsewhere on the portal.
