This cookie policy explains what cookies are, how Cheltenham Betting Tips uses them, and how you can control or delete them. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which covers the broader handling of your personal data.
What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites function efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to site owners about how visitors interact with their pages. Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting (first-party cookies) or by third-party services operating on that site (third-party cookies).
Cookies can 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
This website uses cookies for the following purposes.
Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the basic functioning of the website. They enable core features such as page navigation and access to content. The site cannot operate properly without them. Essential cookies do not collect personal information for marketing purposes and cannot be disabled while you are using the site.
Analytics Cookies
We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our website. These cookies collect information such as which pages are visited most frequently, how long visitors spend on each page, and how they arrived at the site. This data is aggregated and anonymised, meaning it does not identify individual visitors.
We use Google Analytics for this purpose. Google Analytics sets cookies including _ga and _gid to distinguish unique users and throttle request rates. The data collected by Google Analytics is processed in accordance with Google’s privacy policy, available at https://policies.google.com/privacy. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Functionality Cookies
Functionality cookies allow the website to remember choices you make, such as your preferred layout settings or whether you have dismissed a notification banner. These cookies improve your browsing experience but are not strictly essential to the operation of the site.
Affiliate and Advertising Cookies
Where this website includes links to third-party bookmakers or betting platforms through affiliate programmes, those third parties may set their own cookies when you click through to their sites. These cookies are used to track referrals so that any resulting commission can be attributed correctly. We do not control the cookies set by third-party affiliates, and their use is governed by the respective privacy and cookie policies of those platforms.
We do not serve display advertising on this website. However, if third-party embedded content is present, such as videos or social media widgets, those services may set their own cookies independently.
Specific Cookies Used
The following table describes the main cookies you may encounter on this website.
| Cookie Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes unique visitors by assigning a randomly generated identifier | 2 years |
| _gid | Google Analytics | Distinguishes unique visitors for daily aggregate reporting | 24 hours |
| _gat | Google Analytics | Throttles the request rate to limit data collection on high-traffic sites | 1 minute |
| cookie_consent | This website | Records whether the visitor has accepted or dismissed the cookie consent notice | 1 year |
Third-party bookmaker and affiliate cookies are not listed here because they vary by provider and are set on external domains. Please consult the cookie policy of each bookmaker for details of their tracking practices.
Managing and Deleting Cookies
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. The following links provide instructions for managing cookies in the most commonly used browsers:
Google Chrome — manage cookies in Chrome settings under Privacy and Security.

Please note that blocking or deleting cookies may affect the functionality of this website and other sites you visit. Some features may not work as intended if essential cookies are disabled.
Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a Do Not Track (DNT) setting that sends a signal to websites requesting that your browsing activity is not tracked. There is currently no universal standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. We do not currently alter our data collection practices in response to DNT signals, but we respect your right to use browser-level controls to manage tracking as described above.
