What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored by a browser when you visit a website. They help pages remember settings, maintain secure sessions and measure how visitors use content. Similar technologies can include local storage, pixels, software development kits and device identifiers.
Some cookies disappear when the browser closes, while persistent cookies remain for a defined period. First-party cookies are set by the site you visit. Third-party cookies are set by service providers such as analytics, advertising or payment partners. This Betfair cookie policy explains the main categories and the choices available to users.
Cookies We Use
Essential cookies support login, fraud prevention, security, payment flows and basic navigation. They are normally required for the service to function and cannot always be disabled through a consent banner. Preference cookies remember language, region and display choices.
Analytics cookies help measure visits, page performance, navigation patterns and technical errors. Marketing cookies may support campaign measurement, audience selection and personalised advertising where permitted. The exact cookie names, providers and expiry periods should be available in the active consent manager because they can change as services are updated.
Managing Your Cookies
You can accept, reject or customise non-essential cookies through the site’s consent controls where available. Browser settings can also block cookies, delete stored data or warn before a cookie is saved. Blocking essential cookies may prevent login, account verification, cashier access or other core functions.
Common browsers provide privacy settings under sections such as Privacy, Security, Site Data or Cookies. Mobile operating systems may also provide advertising controls. After changing settings, reload the site and review whether the chosen services still work correctly.
Third-Party Cookies
Third-party services may include analytics platforms, advertising networks, payment processors, fraud-prevention providers, video hosts and social-media tools. These providers may process device or usage information under their own privacy notices.
Users should review the current consent panel for the live provider list rather than relying on a static external table. Where consent is required, non-essential third-party cookies should not activate until permission is given. Consent can usually be withdrawn later, although previously collected information may remain subject to lawful retention periods.
Policy Updates
Cookie practices may change when the site adds new tools, changes service providers or responds to new legal requirements. Material changes should be reflected in this page and, where required, in renewed consent choices. Last updated: 30 July 2026.
