This Cookie Policy explains how tipsbettingb (“FirstPitch”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit the site. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which describes how we handle personal data more generally. By using the site you accept the use of cookies as described below, subject to the consent options offered through our cookie banner.
What Cookies Are
A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your device when you visit it. The file holds information that the site can read on later visits — preferences you have set, the fact that you have already seen a particular notice, or anonymous identifiers used to count visits. Similar technologies — local storage, pixels, fingerprinting techniques — perform comparable functions and are covered by this policy on the same terms.
Categories of Cookies We Use
We classify the cookies set through tipsbettingb into three categories.
Strictly necessary cookies. These are required to operate the site and to deliver the pages and features you have asked for. Examples include cookies that record your cookie-consent choices so the banner is not shown again on every page, cookies that protect against malicious activity, and cookies that maintain a session while you read. Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations.
Analytics cookies. We use a small number of analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with the site at an aggregate level — which pages are read, how readers arrive, how long they stay. These cookies are loaded only after you have indicated consent through the cookie banner. The data is processed in a privacy-respecting way and is not used to identify individual readers.
Functionality cookies. Where the site offers options that improve the reading experience — for instance, remembering whether you prefer light or dark display where such an option exists — those preferences may be stored in cookies or local storage. Functionality cookies are loaded only after you have indicated consent through the cookie banner.
We do not use advertising cookies, behavioural-advertising trackers or cookies that share data with third-party marketing networks for the purpose of profiling or retargeting.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are set by third-party providers acting on our behalf. The categories of third party we work with are:
- Web hosting and content delivery — providers responsible for delivering pages reliably and at speed, who may set strictly necessary cookies for caching, security and routing.
- Web fonts — Google Fonts is used to deliver typefaces. Google Fonts is delivered without cookies in our setup; the request is logged at the network level by Google in the same way any HTTP request to its servers is logged.
- Analytics — an analytics provider used to understand aggregate site usage, configured for privacy where the provider supports it.
Third parties operate under written agreements that restrict their use of the data they receive through our site to the purposes for which it was collected.
Lawful Basis
Strictly necessary cookies are placed on the basis of our legitimate interest in operating the site safely and reliably. All other cookies — analytics and functionality — are placed only after you have indicated consent through the banner shown on your first visit, in line with the requirements of the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations and the UK General Data Protection Regulation.
How Long Cookies Last
Cookies fall into two broad lifetimes:
- Session cookies exist only while your browser is open and are deleted when you close it.
- Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them. The cookies we set persist for no longer than 12 months unless a regulatory or operational reason requires otherwise.
Managing Your Cookie Choices
You have full control over the cookies stored on your device. You can:
- Use the cookie banner shown on your first visit to accept, reject or customise non-essential cookies. You can revisit your choices at any time through the banner re-open link in the site footer.
- Adjust your browser settings to block or delete cookies. All major browsers allow you to view, manage and clear cookies; the exact path differs by browser. Disabling strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the site from functioning properly.
- Use private or incognito browsing modes, which discard cookies at the end of the session.
If you withdraw consent through the banner, non-essential cookies already set will be invalidated and no further non-essential cookies will be loaded during your subsequent visits unless you change your choice again.
Do Not Track
The Do Not Track (“DNT”) signal is a setting some browsers offer to communicate a preference not to be tracked across sites. There is no settled legal standard in the United Kingdom requiring sites to honour DNT, and DNT does not currently provide a granular alternative to cookie consent. We honour the choices you record through our cookie banner; those choices take precedence over DNT settings.
Updates
We update this Cookie Policy when our cookie setup changes, when third-party providers are added or removed, or when the regulatory framework requires it. The “Last updated” date at the top of the page reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be highlighted on the site.
Contact
If you have questions about how cookies are used on tipsbettingb or want to raise a concern, please use the contact route published on the site. We will respond within a reasonable time.
