This cookie policy explains how bettingcricketonline.com uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit the site. It should be read together with our privacy policy, which describes how we handle personal data more broadly.
What a cookie is
A cookie is a small text file that a website asks your browser to store on the device you are using. The next time you return to the site, your browser sends the cookie back so the site can recognise the device, remember a preference, or measure how the page is performing. Cookies cannot run code on your device, cannot read files on your hard disk, and cannot transmit a virus. They contain only what the website that set them chose to write into them.
Similar technologies — such as local storage, session storage, pixels, and small device identifiers — serve comparable purposes. Where this policy refers to “cookies”, the same principles apply to those technologies unless we say otherwise.
The cookies we use
We use a deliberately small number of cookies. They fall into three categories.
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies make the site work. They allow the page to load correctly, remember your cookie preferences between visits, protect against simple abuse such as form spam, and ensure that pages requested over a secure connection are delivered consistently. Strictly necessary cookies do not track you and are not used for any analytical, advertising, or profiling purpose. They cannot be disabled in our consent settings because the site would not function without them. They typically expire at the end of a browsing session or, in the case of the preference cookie, after twelve months.
Analytics cookies
If you consent, we use analytics cookies to understand in aggregate how readers use the site — which pages are read most often, how long a typical visit lasts, which sources of traffic bring readers in, and where readers drop off. The data is collected anonymously and aggregated. We do not use analytics cookies to build a profile of you as an individual, and we do not pass analytics data to advertising networks. Analytics cookies typically have a lifespan of up to thirteen months.
Preference cookies
If we add features that depend on remembering a choice you have made — for example, a text-size preference or a chosen reading mode — we may set a small preference cookie to retain that choice between visits. Preference cookies are only set when you actively use the feature in question and are limited to the data needed to remember the preference itself.
Cookies we do not use
We do not use advertising cookies. We do not display third-party advertising on the editorial pages of the site, do not share data with advertising networks, and do not build audience segments for resale. We do not use cookies to follow you across the web after you leave bettingcricketonline.com. We do not use cookies to share data with any operator, affiliate platform, or commercial partner.
Third-party services
To deliver the site reliably we rely on a small number of third-party infrastructure providers — including a hosting provider and a content delivery network. These providers may set strictly necessary cookies to perform their function, such as routing requests efficiently or protecting against denial-of-service abuse. They act as data processors on our behalf and are bound by written contractual obligations consistent with UK GDPR.
Your choices
You can change your cookie choices at any time using the consent controls available on the site. You can also manage cookies directly in your browser. All modern browsers let you view the cookies currently stored, block cookies from specific sites, block third-party cookies, and clear all cookies. Step-by-step instructions are available in the help section of each browser.
Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies will prevent parts of the site from working as intended. Blocking analytics cookies will not affect your reading experience but will reduce our ability to understand which articles are useful to readers and which are not.
Mobile devices
On mobile browsers the same controls apply: each browser allows you to view, block, and clear cookies through its settings menu. If you read the site through a third-party reader application — for example, an article-aggregator app — that application’s own privacy and cookie practices apply in addition to ours.
Do Not Track
Some browsers transmit a “Do Not Track” signal with each request. Because the wider industry has not agreed on a single standard for interpreting that signal, we currently do not respond to it as a separate setting. The consent controls described above remain the authoritative way to express your choice on this site.
How long cookies are kept
Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies have a fixed expiry written into them and are removed automatically on that date. The longest-lived cookies we set have a lifespan of thirteen months. You can clear all cookies at any time using your browser’s tools.
Changes to this policy
We may revise this cookie policy when we change the technologies we use or when applicable guidance from the Information Commissioner’s Office is updated. The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Substantive changes that require renewed consent will be reflected in the consent banner the next time you visit the site.
