Cookie Policy

A cookie is a small text file placed on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) by your web browser when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used to make websites function correctly, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to website owners about how their site is used.

Cookies can be:

• Session cookies — temporary cookies that exist only while your browser is open and are deleted when you close it;
• Persistent cookies — cookies that remain on your device for a defined period or until you manually delete them;
• First-party cookies — set directly by PunterScore when you visit our site;
• Third-party cookies — set by external services we use, such as Google Analytics or advertising networks.

In addition to cookies, we may also use similar tracking technologies such as pixel tags (also called web beacons or clear GIFs) — tiny invisible images embedded in pages or emails that help us understand engagement — and local storage mechanisms used to save preferences in your browser.

PunterScore uses cookies for four distinct purposes:

• Essential operation — to make the site work correctly, maintain security, and handle your session;
• Analytics — to understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it (page popularity, traffic sources, device types);
• Advertising — to display relevant advertisements and measure their performance (subject to your consent);
• Functionality — to remember your preferences such as cookie consent choices and display settings.

Below is a full list of cookies used on PunterScore, organised by category. Click any category to expand the detailed cookie list.

Some cookies on PunterScore are set by third-party services we use. These are placed directly by those third parties when their code runs on our pages. We do not control third-party cookies — their use is governed by the privacy policies of the respective companies.

The third-party services that may set cookies on PunterScore are:

• Google Analytics — analytics platform operated by Google LLC. Google Privacy Policy
• Google AdSense / DoubleClick — advertising platform operated by Google LLC. Google Privacy Policy
• Affiliate networks — when you click a bookmaker affiliate link, the destination site may set its own cookies. Those cookies are governed entirely by the linked site's policy.

Where required by applicable law, third-party analytics and advertising cookies are only loaded after you have given consent via our cookie banner.

You have several options for controlling cookies on PunterScore:

1. Cookie Consent Banner

When you first visit PunterScore, a cookie consent banner will be displayed. You can accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customise your preferences by category. Your choices are saved in the ps_consent cookie for 12 months.

To change your preferences after your first visit, clear your browser cookies and reload the site — the consent banner will reappear.

2. Google Analytics Opt-Out

You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting data about your visits across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. This works in Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari, and Opera.

3. Google Ad Personalisation

You can control Google's use of your data for ad personalisation at adssettings.google.com. Opting out here affects ad personalisation across all Google services.

4. Industry Opt-Out Tools

You can also opt out of interest-based advertising from many companies through industry tools:

• YourAdChoices (EU): youronlinechoices.eu
• NAI Opt-Out (US): optout.networkadvertising.org
• DAA Opt-Out (US): optout.aboutads.info

All modern browsers allow you to view, manage, block, and delete cookies through their settings. Click your browser below for instructions:

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that sends a signal to websites you visit requesting that your browsing activity not be tracked. There is currently no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals.

At present, PunterScore does not alter its data collection practices in response to DNT signals. However, you can use the cookie management options described in Sections 5 and 6 to control data collection on our site specifically.

Our use of cookies complies with applicable privacy laws including the EU ePrivacy Directive (Cookie Law), UK PECR, and GDPR.

Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent as they are essential to deliver the service you have requested. We rely on our legitimate interest in operating a secure and functional website for these cookies.

Analytics, advertising, and functional cookies require your freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous consent before they are placed. This consent is collected via our cookie banner on your first visit. You may withdraw consent at any time by clearing cookies and revisiting the site.

We record the consent choices you make (date, time, version of policy accepted) in the ps_consent cookie for audit purposes. This record itself is stored as a strictly necessary cookie and is retained for 12 months.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time — for example, when we add or remove cookies, change third-party providers, or when legal requirements change. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.

Where we add new non-essential cookies, we will refresh your consent prompt so you have the opportunity to accept or decline the updated cookie set before they are placed.

We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
