This cookie policy explains what cookies are, how Greyhound Meetings Guide uses them, and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which describes how we handle personal data more broadly.
What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device (computer, phone, or tablet) through your browser. They serve various purposes — remembering preferences, measuring traffic, and enabling certain site features. Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting (first-party cookies) or by third-party services embedded on that website (third-party cookies). Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser (session cookies), while others remain on your device for a set period (persistent cookies).
How We Use Cookies
We use a limited number of cookies, grouped into two categories based on their purpose.
Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function correctly. They handle basic operations such as page navigation, secure access, and remembering your cookie consent preference. Essential cookies do not collect personal information for marketing purposes and cannot be disabled without affecting the usability of the site.
Cookie consent preference: stores whether you have accepted or declined non-essential cookies. This is a first-party cookie set when you interact with the cookie consent mechanism. It persists for 12 months.
Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors use our website — which pages are visited most, how long readers spend on each guide, and where traffic comes from. This information is collected in aggregate and does not personally identify you. Analytics cookies are only set if you consent to them.
We use Google Analytics, which sets the following cookies:
_ga: distinguishes unique visitors. Duration: 2 years. Set by Google. Used to calculate visitor, session, and campaign data for site analytics reports.
_ga_[container-id]: maintains session state. Duration: 2 years. Set by Google. Used to persist session data across page loads.
Google Analytics processes data under Google’s privacy policy, available at policies.google.com/privacy. We have configured Google Analytics with the following privacy settings: IP anonymisation is enabled so that your full IP address is not stored, data sharing with other Google products is disabled, and advertising features are turned off. The data retention period is set to 26 months.
Third-Party Cookies
When you visit external sites through links on our pages — including bookmaker websites, the GBGB site, or racing data providers like Timeform and Sporting Life — those sites may set their own cookies. We have no control over third-party cookies and are not responsible for how those sites use them. We recommend reviewing the cookie and privacy policies of any external site you visit.
Our website loads fonts from Google Fonts. While Google Fonts does not set cookies in the traditional sense, your browser sends a request to Google’s servers when loading the fonts, which may include your IP address. This is covered in more detail in our Privacy Policy.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You can control and manage cookies in several ways.
Through our website: when you first visit our site, you will be asked whether you accept non-essential cookies. You can change your preference at any time through the cookie settings option in the site footer. Declining analytics cookies will prevent Google Analytics from collecting data about your visit.
Through your browser: all major browsers allow you to view, manage, and delete cookies through their settings. You can set your browser to block all cookies, block only third-party cookies, or notify you when a cookie is being set. Be aware that blocking essential cookies may affect the functionality of our site. Instructions for managing cookies in common browsers are available on their respective support pages:
Mozilla Firefox cookie settings
Microsoft Edge cookie settings
Through opt-out tools: you can opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this cookie policy to reflect changes in the cookies we use or in applicable regulations. When we make changes, we will revise the “last updated” date at the top of this page. If we introduce new categories of cookies or change how we use existing ones, we will seek your consent as appropriate.
