Cookie Policy

Last updated: 13 June 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how bitcoinbasketballbets.com uses cookies and similar technologies on this website. It sits alongside our Privacy Policy, which covers personal data more generally. Cookies are regulated in the UK under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) and the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR).

What cookies are

A cookie is a small text file that a website saves to your device when you visit. Cookies make websites work more efficiently and provide information to the site operator about how the site is used. Similar technologies — such as local storage, session storage and tracking pixels — perform comparable functions and are covered by the same principles described in this policy.

Cookies are commonly categorised by lifetime and by source. By lifetime, a session cookie is deleted when you close the browser, while a persistent cookie stays on your device until it expires or you delete it. By source, a first-party cookie is set by the site you are visiting, while a third-party cookie is set by another domain whose content is loaded inside the page you are visiting.

How we use cookies on bitcoinbasketballbets.com

bitcoinbasketballbets.com uses cookies only in the categories described below. We do not run advertising cookies, retargeting cookies or social-media advertising pixels.

Categories of cookie in use

Strictly necessary cookies. These cookies are essential for the website to function. They cover the operations needed to deliver the pages you ask for, route requests to the correct server, retain anti-abuse and security flags during a session, and remember your cookie preferences across pages. Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent under UK PECR because they are essential for the service you have requested.

Performance and analytics cookies. These cookies collect aggregated information about how readers use bitcoinbasketballbets.com — which pages are visited, how visitors arrive on the site, the approximate region (country level), the device family and the average time on page. This data helps us understand which articles are useful and where readers leave the site. Performance and analytics cookies are only set after you have given consent through the cookie banner. You can withdraw consent at any time using the controls described below.

Functional cookies. Where bitcoinbasketballbets.com remembers a user preference between visits — for example a chosen text size or a dismissed notice — a functional cookie may be set. These cookies improve your reading experience and are set only after consent.

Third-party cookies. A small number of third-party services may set cookies when their content is embedded on bitcoinbasketballbets.com — for example fonts served from a public font provider, or analytics infrastructure operated by a processor on our behalf. We rely only on providers that operate under written processor agreements and that comply with UK data-protection law. We do not embed third-party advertising networks.

The legal bases we rely on

For strictly necessary cookies, we rely on the PECR exemption for cookies that are essential to provide the service the user has requested.

For performance, analytics and functional cookies, we rely on your consent obtained through the cookie banner on first visit. UK PECR and UK GDPR both require that consent for non-essential cookies be a clear, affirmative action — silence, pre-ticked boxes or continued use of the site do not constitute consent. The banner therefore gives you a clear opt-in choice, and continuing to read without giving consent leaves analytics and functional cookies inactive.

How to manage your cookie preferences

You have three independent ways to manage cookies on bitcoinbasketballbets.com:

  • The cookie banner on bitcoinbasketballbets.com. On first visit you are asked to accept, reject, or selectively enable cookie categories. You can reopen these settings at any time via the cookie-preferences link in the site footer to change a previous choice.
  • Your browser settings. Every modern browser includes a privacy or cookie-management section that lets you view existing cookies, block cookies from specific sites or categories, and clear cookies on demand. The exact location varies by browser — search the help section for your browser version with the phrase “cookie settings”.
  • Device-level controls. Smartphones and tablets typically include tracking and privacy controls at the operating-system level, which can override or restrict the cookies any visited website is able to set.

Blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of the site from working as intended. Blocking analytics or functional cookies has no impact on your ability to read articles on bitcoinbasketballbets.com.

“Do Not Track”

Some browsers send a “Do Not Track” signal. Practice on respecting this signal varies across the web and there is currently no UK-mandated standard for honouring it. Where our analytics provider supports honouring “Do Not Track”, we configure them to do so. The most reliable way to opt out of analytics on bitcoinbasketballbets.com is the cookie banner.

Retention

Strictly necessary cookies live for the length of your visit or for the short period required to remember your cookie preferences across pages. Analytics cookies have lifetimes determined by the provider, generally measured in months rather than years; in all cases these cookies are limited to what is necessary for the analytics purpose. Functional cookies live for as long as the relevant preference is meaningful, typically several months. The exact expiry of each cookie is shown in the browser’s developer tools and in the cookie-preferences interface on the site.

Children

bitcoinbasketballbets.com covers gambling and financial-services topics that are not suitable for children. The site is intended for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly target cookies at children and we apply the same data-minimisation principles to any data collected through cookies as we do to other personal data described in the Privacy Policy.

Changes to this Cookie Policy

We update this Cookie Policy when our cookie usage changes — for example, when a processor is added or removed, or when a new category of functional cookie is introduced. The date at the top of this page shows when the most recent update was made. Material changes are flagged via the cookie banner so existing readers have the opportunity to review and reconsent where required.

Contact and your rights

You can exercise your UK GDPR rights — including access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, objection and withdrawal of consent — through the contact route published in the Legal Notice page. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) about how bitcoinbasketballbets.com handles cookies and personal data; the ICO’s website is ico.org.uk.
