Last updated: 20 June 2026

This cookie policy explains how worldsnookerbetting.com (“World Snooker Betting,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides further detail on how we process personal data.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites function properly, improve user experience, and provide information to site operators. Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting (“first-party cookies”) or by third-party services embedded in the website (“third-party cookies”).

Similar technologies include pixel tags, web beacons, and local storage, which serve comparable purposes. References to “cookies” in this policy include these similar technologies unless otherwise stated.

How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for the following purposes:

Strictly necessary cookies. These cookies are essential for the basic operation of the website. They enable core functionality such as page navigation, security features, and access to secure areas. The website cannot function properly without these cookies. They do not require your consent under applicable law.

Analytics cookies. These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting information such as pages visited, time spent on pages, traffic sources, and bounce rates. We use this data in aggregated form to improve our content and website structure. Analytics cookies are set by third-party providers such as Google Analytics. Where available, we enable IP anonymisation to minimise the personal data processed.

Functional cookies. These cookies allow the website to remember choices you have made (such as cookie consent preferences) and provide enhanced features. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages.

Cookies We Use

The following table describes the main cookies used on this website:

Strictly necessary: cookie consent preference cookie, which records your cookie consent choice so that you are not asked repeatedly. This is a first-party cookie with a typical duration of 12 months.

Analytics: Google Analytics cookies (such as _ga and _gid), which are third-party cookies used to distinguish users and track website usage. The _ga cookie has a typical duration of 2 years; the _gid cookie has a typical duration of 24 hours. These cookies collect data including pages viewed, session duration, and approximate geographic location derived from anonymised IP addresses.

The specific cookies in use may change as we update our website and the third-party services we integrate. We will update this policy accordingly.

You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies from specific or all websites. Instructions for managing cookies vary by browser:

Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on our website are set by third-party services. We do not control how these third parties use cookies. For information on their data practices, please refer to their respective privacy policies. Google Analytics privacy information is available at policies.google.com/privacy.

Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) setting that sends a signal to websites requesting that your browsing activity not be tracked. There is currently no industry-wide standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. Our website does not currently respond to DNT signals, but you can manage tracking through cookie preferences and browser settings as described above.
