Cookie policy – Rugbytipsters.com

Rugby and betting pages on Rugbytipsters.com run with a short list of technical tools, and this policy lists them: which cookies and comparable technologies are active, what they do and how a visitor can refuse or alter them. A cookie is a small text file that a browser keeps on a device. Entries in local and session storage and tracking pixels work the same way for present purposes.

The rule behind it

Regulation 6 of the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 (PECR) sets the rule. Putting information on a user’s device, or reading what is already there, calls for clear and comprehensive information and consent from the user, with an exception where storage is strictly necessary to supply a service the user has asked for. The consent must match the UK GDPR standard of Article 4(11) and Article 7, so it is freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous, and withdrawing it is as easy as giving it. Where cookies involve personal data, the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 add their own rules.

Files that need no choice

Reliable operation depends on these. They hold a session open, balance load across servers, defend forms against abuse and record the cookie choice itself. No separate consent is sought for them. A session file ends when the browser is closed, and the saved choice lasts at most twelve months.

Files that need consent

Functional files remember settings, such as which comparison tables were opened last. Analytics files count page views and show which pages get read, which guides editing. The cookie banner must be answered before either kind is set. IP addresses are shortened for analysis, and no profile following behaviour across sites is created.

Outside providers

A video or map embedded from elsewhere can set files of its own, in which case the provider’s rules also apply and objections go to that provider. Rugbytipsters.com sets no advertising cookies for personalised ads unless the consent banner offers an unambiguous choice.

How to refuse or change a choice

The “Cookie settings” link in the footer is the route to change or withdraw consent at any moment. Withdrawal looks forward only and leaves earlier processing lawful. Browsers also allow blocking and deleting cookies through their settings. After the necessary files are cleared the banner comes back, and some features can stop working for a short while.

Supervision

For complaints about the handling of personal data, the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) is the UK’s supervisory authority. How data is processed is explained in this site’s privacy policy.
