Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies are, how bethanypeds.com uses them, how long they last, and how you can control them. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which provides additional information about how we process personal data. We last reviewed this policy in line with industry guidance applicable to UK-facing informational and affiliate websites. When we deploy new tools that rely on cookies, we will update this document and, where required, adjust our consent banner.
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make sites work more efficiently, remember preferences, and understand how visitors move between pages. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, pixels, and software development kits embedded in mobile experiences. In this policy, we refer to all of these as “cookies” unless we specify otherwise.
How we use cookies
We group cookies into the following categories. Strictly necessary cookies are required for the website to function, for example to remember your cookie consent choice, maintain security during your session, balance traffic across servers, or prevent cross-site request forgery. Without these cookies, parts of the site may not operate reliably. Preference cookies remember settings you select, such as dismissing informational notices where permitted. Analytics cookies help us measure how many people visit each page, how long sessions last, which outbound offers generate interest, and whether errors occur during loading. These insights allow us to improve layout, prioritise content updates, and fix technical problems. Marketing or affiliate attribution cookies may be set when you interact with tracked links so that partner programmes can recognise that traffic originated from our site. Such cookies are only activated where we have a lawful basis, typically your consent for non-essential categories in the UK and European Economic Area.
Third-party cookies
Some cookies are placed by third-party services that appear on our pages, such as analytics vendors or advertising technology partners working with gambling brands. Those third parties process data under their own policies. We seek to work with reputable partners and to minimise data collection, but we do not control their cookies beyond the integration choices we make. When you leave our website and register with an operator, that operator may set additional cookies governed by its own cookie notice.
Retention periods
Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain for a defined period, which can range from a few days to several months depending on their purpose. Consent records may be stored for longer where needed to demonstrate compliance. Exact durations may change when we switch providers; you can inspect cookies through your browser’s developer tools for current expiry dates.
Managing cookies
When you first visit bethanypeds.com, you can accept or reject non-essential cookies using the banner at the bottom of the screen. You may change your mind later by clearing site data in your browser or contacting us for guidance. Most browsers let you block third-party cookies, delete existing cookies, or alert you before a cookie is stored. If you block all cookies, strictly necessary cookies may still be required for basic operation, but analytics and marketing cookies will not run. Browser manufacturers publish help pages describing these settings for Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and other common clients.
Updates and contact
We may revise this Cookie Policy to reflect new cookies, partners, or legal requirements. Material changes will be reflected by updating the text on this page. If you have questions about our use of cookies, email info@bethanypeds.com.
