This Cookie Policy explains how nbarefbettin uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which sets out the wider framework for how we handle reader data.
What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file placed on your device by a website you visit. Cookies allow a site to remember information about your visit — for example a language preference, the fact that you have already dismissed a notice, or anonymous identifiers that help us measure how many readers visit a given page. Similar technologies include local storage, pixel tags and tracking scripts. For convenience, this notice refers to all of them simply as “cookies”.
Categories of cookies we may use
We group cookies into the categories defined by UK regulators and the Information Commissioner’s Office.
Strictly necessary cookies. These cookies make the website function. They include session identifiers required to load pages, cookies that remember your cookie-preference choice itself, and security cookies used to detect abuse. Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent under UK ePrivacy rules — without them the site cannot work as you would expect.
Functional cookies. These cookies remember preferences such as the dark or light display mode if such an option is offered, the language variant you have chosen, or whether you have already dismissed a banner. They make the site easier to use on repeat visits. We set these only with your consent.
Analytics cookies. These cookies measure aggregate, non-identifying patterns in how the site is used — which pages are popular, where readers come from, how long a visit lasts. We use these to improve editorial planning. Analytics cookies are set only with your consent and the data is processed in aggregate rather than as personal data about you.
Advertising cookies. nbarefbettin does not run programmatic advertising and does not place advertising cookies on this domain.
Specific cookies we may set
The exact set of cookies in use at any given moment is documented in the cookie preference panel available from the cookie banner. Broadly:
Session and security cookies. Short-lived cookies that exist only for the duration of your visit, used to load pages and protect against automated abuse. These expire when you close the browser.
Consent record cookie. A small persistent cookie that records the choices you made in the cookie banner so we do not ask again on every page. This typically expires after twelve months.
Analytics cookie. A persistent cookie set by our analytics provider, if you have given consent, that records an anonymous identifier and the timestamps of your visits. The retention period depends on the provider and is set out in the preference panel.
Third-party cookies
If we use a third-party analytics provider or content-delivery network, that party may set cookies of its own on your device. Each third-party processor we use is bound by contractual obligations to handle data in line with UK data-protection law. The current list of third parties is shown in the cookie preference panel.
External resources we link to from our articles — such as GamCare, GAMSTOP, BeGambleAware, the UK Gambling Commission or NBA official sites — operate their own cookies under their own policies. nbarefbettin has no control over cookies set by those external sites.
Your consent and how to change it
The first time you visit nbarefbettin you will see a cookie banner asking for your consent for non-essential cookies. You can accept all, reject all non-essential, or open the preference panel and choose category by category. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be switched off because they are required for the site to function.
You can change your preferences at any time by reopening the cookie banner from any page that surfaces it, or by clearing cookies in your browser to reset your choices on next visit.
Managing cookies in your browser
Most browsers also let you control cookies independently of our cookie banner. You can typically block all cookies, block third-party cookies only, delete existing cookies, or set the browser to ask before accepting any cookie. The exact controls differ by browser — see the help pages for your specific browser version for the current settings.
Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the website from working correctly. Blocking analytics cookies will not affect your ability to read articles.
Do Not Track signals
Some browsers send a “Do Not Track” header to indicate that the user prefers not to be tracked. There is no settled industry standard for how websites should respond to such signals. We honour your cookie-banner choices regardless of whether your browser sends a Do Not Track header.
Children
nbarefbettin is intended for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect cookies from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has used our site, see our Privacy Policy for the route to ask us to delete any data we may hold.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or in UK regulations. The version in force is always the one published on this page with the most recent “Last updated” date.
