Betahoy Cookie Policy for UK Users
Betahoy uses cookies to keep the platform running correctly, protect user accounts, and improve the overall browsing experience. Some cookies are strictly necessary for the site to function, while others help analyse how visitors interact with the platform and adapt content accordingly. No cookie stores sensitive personal data from your device without your knowledge. UK users can manage their cookie preferences at any time through their browser or device settings.
How Betahoy Uses Cookies
When you visit the site, small text files called cookies are saved to your device. These files help the platform remember your preferences, maintain your session, and monitor how the site is being used.
Cookies are used to understand how visitors navigate the platform, track traffic patterns, and assess overall performance. This information helps identify areas for improvement and ensures the site operates as expected.
Cookies do not access files stored elsewhere on your device. They collect only the data generated through your interaction with the website, and they do not infringe on your personal privacy.
Types of Cookies Used on the Website
Session Cookies
Session cookies are temporary files that exist only for the duration of your visit. They are deleted automatically once you close your browser and are used to maintain a consistent experience across pages during a single session.
Persistent Cookies
Persistent cookies remain on your device after your session ends. They allow the site to recognise you on future visits and retain saved preferences, such as language or display settings.
Analytical Cookies
Analytical cookies collect data on how the site is accessed and used. This includes information such as which pages receive the most traffic and how long visitors spend on the platform. The data collected is aggregated and does not identify individual users.
All three cookie types serve a practical purpose. Together, they contribute to a more convenient and personalised experience for every visitor to the platform.
Your Cookie Choices
You have control over how cookies are handled on your device. Most browsers allow you to manage cookie behaviour directly through their settings menus.
The following actions are available through standard browser controls:
- View the cookies currently stored on your device;
- Delete individual cookies or clear all stored cookies at once;
- Block cookies from specific websites;
- Block third-party cookies from being placed on your device;
- Allow cookies only from sites you have visited directly;
- Receive a notification before any cookie is saved to your device.
Flash cookies, which are managed separately from standard browser cookies, can also be controlled through the Adobe Flash Player settings manager.
Please note that blocking all cookies may limit certain functions on the platform. Some features rely on cookies to operate correctly, and disabling them entirely may affect your browsing experience.
Flash Cookie Settings
Flash cookies, sometimes referred to as Local Shared Objects, are managed through the Adobe Flash Player settings manager rather than your standard browser settings. Through this tool, you can set permissions for individual websites, restrict the amount of data that Flash is permitted to store on your device, and configure security parameters for Flash-based content.
Blocking all cookies, including Flash cookies, may disrupt certain platform functions. Features such as saved language preferences and automatic login may not operate as expected if Flash cookie storage is disabled. It is advisable to review your Flash settings carefully before applying restrictions.
