This cookie policy explains what cookies are, how Newcastle Dog Results uses them, and how you can control your cookie preferences. We aim to be transparent about the technologies we use and the choices available to you.
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites function efficiently, to remember your preferences and to provide information to site owners about how their pages are used. Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting (first-party cookies) or by third-party services that operate on the site (third-party cookies).
Cookies can be session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them manually.
Cookies We Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function properly. They enable core features such as page navigation, secure areas and basic functionality. The website cannot operate correctly without these cookies, and they cannot be disabled. Strictly necessary cookies do not collect personal information for marketing purposes and are exempt from consent requirements under UK law.
Analytics Cookies
We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our website. These cookies collect information about which pages are visited, how long visitors spend on each page, how they arrived at the site and whether they encounter any errors. The data collected is aggregated and anonymised, meaning it cannot be used to identify individual visitors. We use this information to improve the structure, content and performance of the website. Analytics cookies are set only with your consent.
Preference Cookies
Preference cookies allow the website to remember choices you make, such as your preferred theme setting or whether you have dismissed a notice. These cookies improve your experience by avoiding the need to re-enter preferences on each visit. They are set only with your consent.
Cookies We Do Not Use
Newcastle Dog Results does not use advertising cookies, retargeting cookies, social media tracking pixels or any cookies designed to build a profile of your browsing behaviour across other websites. We do not serve targeted advertisements and we do not share cookie data with advertising networks.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on this website are set by third-party services that we use for analytics or functionality. These third parties may process data in accordance with their own privacy policies. We select third-party services that respect user privacy and comply with applicable data protection legislation. Where our website links to external sites such as bookmaker platforms, racing authority websites or welfare organisations, those sites operate independently and may set their own cookies. We recommend reviewing the cookie policies of any external site you visit.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
When you first visit our website, you are presented with the option to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can change your preferences at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the site, which will trigger the consent prompt again.
You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, manage and delete cookies. The following links provide instructions for the most common browsers:
Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the website. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled without impairing core site features.
Legal Basis
Our use of strictly necessary cookies is based on our legitimate interest in providing a functional website. Our use of analytics and preference cookies is based on your consent, obtained through our cookie notice when you first visit the site. You have the right to withdraw consent at any time, as described above. This approach complies with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) and the UK GDPR.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this cookie policy to reflect changes in the cookies we use or in applicable legislation. Any changes will be published on this page. We recommend reviewing this policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
