Cookie Policy
Last updated: 27 July 2026
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, the types of cookies The Bet Pool uses, why we use them, and how you can control them. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site work, remember your choices, keep you signed in, and understand how the site is used. We also use similar technologies such as local storage, which work in a comparable way. In this policy, "cookies" refers to all of these.
Types of cookies we use
Essential cookies
These are strictly necessary for the website to function — for example, enabling page navigation, security, and access to secure areas. The Service cannot work properly without them, so they cannot be switched off through our site.
Authentication cookies
These keep you securely signed in as you move between pages and sessions, and help protect your account from unauthorised access. Without them you would need to log in again on every page.
Preference cookies
These remember choices you make — such as display settings or previously entered information — so the Service feels consistent and personalised each time you return.
Analytics cookies
These help us understand how visitors use the Service, such as which pages are most visited, in an aggregated and de-identified way. This information helps us improve content, layout and reliability.
Performance cookies
These collect information about how the Service performs — for example, load times and error monitoring — so we can keep it fast, stable and secure.
Third-party cookies
Some cookies may be set by trusted third-party services we use, such as our payment provider (Stripe) during checkout, and our analytics providers. These parties process cookie data under their own privacy policies.
How to control or disable cookies
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you view what cookies are stored, block some or all cookies, and clear cookies already saved. Here's where to look in popular browsers:
- Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Third-party cookies / Site data.
- Safari: Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data.
- Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions.
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data.
Please note: if you block or delete essential or authentication cookies, parts of the Service — including signing in and accessing your subscription — may not work correctly.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above.
