Cookie Policy

This page explains how hovegreyhoundresults (“HOVELANE”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit the site to read Hove greyhound results, form analysis and welfare content.

What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device (computer, tablet or phone) when you visit. They allow the site to recognise your browser on subsequent visits and store certain preferences or analytical data. Cookies do not contain personal information such as your name or address unless you have voluntarily provided it.

Cookies We Use

HOVELANE uses the following categories of cookies.

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function correctly. They enable basic features such as page navigation and access to secure areas of the site. The website cannot operate properly without them. Strictly necessary cookies do not collect personal data for marketing purposes and do not require your consent under UK cookie regulations.

Analytics Cookies

We may use analytics cookies provided by third-party services such as Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with the site. These cookies collect information about which pages you visit, how long you spend on each page, which links you follow and whether you encounter any errors. The data is aggregated and anonymised — it does not identify you personally. Analytics data helps us improve the quality and structure of our greyhound analysis content.

Preference Cookies

Preference cookies remember choices you make on the site, such as language settings or display options, so that you do not need to re-enter them on each visit. HOVELANE currently uses minimal preference cookies. If this changes, this policy will be updated accordingly.

Cookies We Do Not Use

HOVELANE does not use advertising cookies, retargeting cookies or any cookie technology designed to serve personalised advertisements. We do not participate in third-party advertising networks and we do not sell or share cookie data with advertisers.

How to Control Cookies

Most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings. You can typically choose to block all cookies, block only third-party cookies, or delete cookies that have already been set. The exact steps vary by browser — consult your browser’s help documentation for instructions specific to your device.

If you block strictly necessary cookies, some parts of the website may not function as intended. Blocking analytics cookies will not affect your ability to use the site but will prevent us from collecting aggregated usage data.

Third-Party Cookies

When you follow links from HOVELANE to external websites — such as the GBGB results portal, the Gambling Commission, GamCare or BeGambleAware — those sites may set their own cookies. HOVELANE has no control over third-party cookies and is not responsible for how external sites handle cookie data. We recommend reviewing the cookie policies of any external site you visit.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this cookie policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or in applicable regulations. The “last updated” date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the site after changes are published constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
