Preference cookies
These remember choices that are not essential to the core service. Where they are not strictly necessary to provide a feature you request, we will obtain consent before using them.

6. First-party and third-party cookies
First-party cookies are set by racinganalytics.co.uk. Third-party cookies are set by another organisation whose service appears on or supports our website—for example, a payment, analytics, video or embedded-content provider.
We do not control how long every third-party cookie remains on your device. You should review the relevant third party’s information for further details. Opening an external WhatsApp or social-media link may also allow that service to use cookies under its own policies.
7. Consent and changing your choices
When you first visit the website, our consent tool should allow you to accept or reject optional categories. We will not treat continued browsing, silence or a pre-selected box as consent to non-essential cookies.
You may change or withdraw your consent at any time using the Cookie Settings control. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of earlier processing, but it prevents the relevant optional technologies from being used in future on that browser, subject to the technical operation of the service.
If you clear cookies, use a different browser or device, or browse privately, you may need to set your preferences again.
8. Browser controls
Most browsers let you view, remove or block cookies. Blocking all cookies may prevent login, checkout, account functions or other parts of the website from working correctly. Browser controls do not replace our obligation to request consent before using non-essential cookies.
9. Personal data and your rights
Where information collected through cookies identifies or can be linked to an individual, data-protection law may also apply. Details about how we use personal information, our lawful bases, retention, sharing and your rights are provided in our Privacy Policy.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy if our website, suppliers, cookies or legal obligations change. The date at the top shows when it was last updated. We may ask for fresh consent where a change affects the choices you previously made.
