Cookie Policy
Last updated: February 2025.
This Cookie Policy explains how ukbet-matrix.com ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website (the "Site"). It describes what cookies are, which ones we use, why we use them, and how you can control your preferences. Please read this policy together with our Privacy Policy for a full picture of how we handle your information.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the site owner. Cookies can be "first-party" (set by the site you are visiting) or "third-party" (set by another domain, such as an analytics provider). They can also be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (which remain for a set period or until you delete them). Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixel tags, which may store data on your device or track interactions in ways similar to cookies.
How We Use Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes: (1) Essential operation: to remember your age verification status (so you are not asked again during the same session) and your cookie consent choice (accept or reject). Without these, the Site would not function as intended and we would not be able to respect your preferences. (2) Preference and functionality: to store your cookie consent preference so we can show or hide the cookie banner accordingly on future visits. (3) We do not use cookies for advertising or to track you across other websites. We do not use third-party advertising cookies on the Site. Any analytics or usage data we gather is limited and used only to understand how the Site is used and to improve it.
Types of Cookies We Use
Strictly necessary cookies: These are essential for the Site to function. They include cookies or local storage used to remember that you have confirmed your age (session storage) and whether you have accepted or rejected non-essential cookies (local storage). You cannot disable these without affecting how the Site works; however, we only use the minimum necessary.
Preference cookies: These remember your choices, such as your cookie consent decision. They allow us to show or hide the cookie banner based on your prior selection and to comply with your preferences. You can control these via the cookie banner when you first visit the Site; if you have already made a choice, you may need to clear your browser cookies or local storage to change it.
We do not currently use performance, analytics, or marketing cookies on the Site. If we introduce such cookies in the future, we will update this policy and, where required by law, obtain your consent before placing them.
Cookie Banner and Your Choices
When you first visit the Site, you will see a cookie banner that allows you to accept or reject non-essential cookies. Your choice is stored in your browser (using local storage) so that we can remember it on your next visit. If you reject non-essential cookies, we will not set any such cookies. Essential and strictly necessary cookies may still be used as they are required for the Site to operate and to remember your age verification and consent choices. You can change your mind at any time by clearing your browser's cookies and local storage for this Site; you will then see the cookie banner again and can make a new choice.
How to Manage Cookies in Your Browser
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can usually find these under "Options", "Preferences", or "Settings" in your browser menu. You can typically choose to block all cookies, block only third-party cookies, or delete existing cookies. Please note that blocking or deleting cookies may affect how the Site works; for example, you may need to confirm your age again or see the cookie banner again each time you visit. For more information on how to manage cookies in your browser, visit your browser's help section or the manufacturer's website (e.g. Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge).
Third-Party Cookies
Our Site may contain links to third-party websites, including online casino operators and other external sites. When you click on such a link and leave our Site, those third parties may set their own cookies on your device. We do not control third-party cookies and are not responsible for their use. We encourage you to read the privacy and cookie policies of any third-party site you visit. Third-party sites may use cookies for advertising, analytics, or other purposes in accordance with their own policies.
Duration of Cookies
Session storage used for age verification is cleared when you close your browser tab or window. Local storage used for your cookie consent choice typically persists until you clear it or until it expires; we may set an expiry period (for example, 12 months) after which we will treat your choice as expired and show the cookie banner again. Any other cookies we use will have retention periods that we will describe here if and when they are introduced.
Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will be revised when we make changes. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Your continued use of the Site after any change constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy. If we make material changes (for example, by introducing new types of cookies), we may provide additional notice or seek your consent where required by law.
