COOKIEPOLICY

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and supply information to the website operator. Cookies can be first-party (set by the website you are visiting) or third-party (set by a different domain).

How We Use Cookies

robwaterhouce uses cookies to: remember your login details and preferences, analyse how you use our website, deliver relevant content and functionality, measure the effectiveness of our communications, ensure the security and integrity of our services. We use both session cookies (which expire when you close your browser) and persistent cookies (which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them).

Cookies and Similar Technologies

Where this policy refers to cookies, it also covers similar technologies that store or read information on your device or recognise it between visits. On robwaterhouce these are:

• Cookies - small text files set by our website or by third parties, described in the sections above and below.
• Local storage and session storage - browser storage used to keep your bet slip selections, your age-verification and cookie-consent choices and interface settings on your device. This data stays in your browser and is not transmitted to us as a cookie.
• Pixels and tags - tiny images or code snippets in web pages and emails that record when a page or message was opened. We use them, with your consent, for analytics and to measure whether our communications and advertising are effective.
• Scripts and SDKs - code from analytics and advertising providers that can set cookies or read device identifiers, loaded only within the categories you have consented to.
• Device and browser fingerprinting is not used by robwaterhouce.

We use these technologies for the same purposes as cookies: to run the website securely, to remember your choices, to understand how the site is used and, only with your consent, to measure and deliver relevant advertising. Your consent choices for analytics and advertising apply to pixels, tags and similar technologies in the same way as they apply to cookies.
