Privacy Policy

At oddstips.co.uk, we are committed to maintaining the trust and confidence of our visitors to our website and subscribers to our newsletter. Here you’ll find information on how we treat data that we collect from visitors to our website, or when someone subscribes to our newsletter.

Visitors to our Website

When someone visits www.oddstips.co.uk we use a third party service, Google Analytics, to collect standard internet log information and details of visitor behaviour patterns. We do this to find out things such as the number of visitors to the various parts of the site. This information is only processed in a way which does not identify anyone. We do not make, and do not allow Google to make, any attempt to find out the identities of those visiting our website. You can find more information on how cookies are used on this website in the Cookies Policy below.

If we do want to collect personally identifiable information through our website, we will be up front about this. We will make it clear when we collect personal information and will explain what we intend to do with it. If you are still not happy about having your data anonymously collected, you can opt out totally by using this browser addon developed by Google: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en. You can find Google Analytics full privacy policy here: https://policies.google.com/privacy.

We also use a third party service, Jetpack by Automattic, which also collect standard internet log information and details of visitor behaviour patterns. Any piece of data explicitly identifying a specific user (IP address, WordPress.com ID, WordPress.com username, etc.) is not visible to the site owner when using this feature. For example, a site owner can see that a specific post has 285 views, but he/she cannot see which specific users/accounts viewed that post. You can read full details of how Jetpack stats here.

Stats logs — containing visitor IP addresses and WordPress.com usernames (if available) — are retained by Automattic (Jetpack parent company) for 28 days and are used only for the purpose of powering this feature. Oddstips honors DNT (Do Not Track) requests. Do Not Track (DNT) is a feature in web browsers and web sites that asks advertisers and other web software providers to not track individuals’ browsing habits. You can read full details about DNT here.

Newsletter Sign Up

As part of the registration process for our daily free betting tips and offers e-newsletter, we collect personal information. We use a third party software called optinmonster, which is used to capture newsletter sign-ups. You can visit their privacy policy here: https://optinmonster.com/privacy/.

We use that information for a couple of reasons: to tell you about stuff you’ve asked us to tell you about; to contact you if we need to obtain or provide additional information; to check our records are right and to check every now and then that you’re happy and satisfied. We don’t rent or trade email lists with other organisations and businesses. Expect to receive between 1 and 3 newsletters per day from us.

We use a third-party provider, aweber, to deliver our newsletter. We gather statistics around email opening and clicks using industry standard technologies to help us monitor and improve our e-newsletter. For more information, please see Aweber’s privacy notice.

You can unsubscribe to general mailings at any time of the day or night by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any of our emails or by emailing our data protection officer at the following email address info [at] oddstips [dot]co[dot]uk.

Cookies Policy

We use a system of classifying the different types of cookies which we use on the Website, or which may be used by third parties through our websites. The classification was developed by the International Chamber of Commerce UK and explains more about which cookies we use, why we use them, and the functionality you will lose if you decide you don’t want to have them on your device.

What is a cookie?

Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information which are downloaded to your personal computer, mobile or other device when you visit a website. Cookies are then sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognises that cookie. Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognise a user’s device.

How long are cookies stored for?

Persistent cookies – these cookies remain on a user’s device for the period of time specified in the cookie. They are activated each time that the user visits the website that created that particular cookie.

Session cookies – these cookies allow website operators to link the actions of a user during a browser session. A browser session starts when a user opens the browser window and finishes when they close the browser window. Session cookies are created temporarily. Once you close the browser, all session cookies are deleted.

Cookies do lots of different jobs, like letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, and generally improve the user experience.

You can find more information about cookies at www.allaboutcookies.org and www.youronlinechoices.eu.

Performance cookies

These cookies collect anonymous information on the pages visited. By using the Website, you agree that we can place these types of cookies on your device.

How To Clear Cookies, History & Browsing Data On Every Browser

Cookies are small text files placed in storage on your web browser. They are used to track user activity, and are harmless.

Still, some people wish to delete cookies. This is easy to do. Every browser has a way to delete cookies. You’ll find instructions for many of the more popular browsers below.

In addition to deleting cookies, you can also delete your cache, browser history, stored password, and other browser storage. None of this will protect your privacy online, but it may help you keep secrets from other people who have access to your browser.

If you can’t find instructions here (your browser isn’t listed) you can usually search for help on browser’s help tool. Also, you can usually find it by “poking around” a little. Most browsers keep their cookie settings in one of a few places:

History
Preferences
Settings
Privacy (which may be a sub-heading of one of the other three)

In addition to regular cookies (HTTP cookies), you may also have “Flash cookies,” or “Adobe Local Storage Objects.” You usually can’t delete these from the browser, because they aren’t handled by the browser, they are handled by the Adobe flash player.

For information on how to delete and manage Adobe LSO’s see the Adobe website’s article on the Website Storage Panel.
