Cookie Policy
Last updated: 4 May 2026. This page describes how pari-club.com uses cookies and similar technologies on the Site. It supplements our Privacy Policy and focuses on storage on your device, consent, and controls available to you. Capitalised terms used here align with common UK information-commissioner guidance for transparency.
What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website you visit. Local storage and session storage provide larger key–value persistence in the browser. Together, these technologies can remember preferences, maintain security state during a session, and reduce repetitive prompts. They are not executable programs and cannot scan unrelated files on your device by themselves.
Legal framework in the UK
Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), we need appropriate consent for non-essential cookies and similar technologies, subject to limited exceptions for strictly necessary activities. The UK GDPR continues to govern personal data arising from any processing linked to identifiers. This Site is designed to minimise tracking: most pages are informational and do not embed third-party advertising tags.
How we use storage on this Site
- Strictly necessary: session storage may record that you confirmed the age gate for the duration of the browser session so we do not block content repeatedly while you read articles.
- Preferences: when you accept or reject non-essential cookies via the banner, we store that choice in local storage so we do not ask on every visit unless you clear data or we migrate keys for technical reasons.
- Security: infrastructure providers may set short-lived technical cookies to balance load or resist abuse; those are controlled at the network edge and are not used to market products to you on our behalf.
What we do not do
We do not load third-party advertising trackers from this policy page for behavioural profiling across unrelated sites. We do not run social plug-ins that silently phone home while you remain on our page. Outbound links to operators may set their own cookies under their policies once you leave the Site; you should read each operator’s cookie statement before creating an account or depositing.
Duration and refresh
Session storage tied to the age gate expires when you close the relevant tab or browser session. Local storage keys for cookie preferences persist until removed by you or overwritten by a future update that notifies you through the policy date change. If we materially expand non-essential technologies, we will refresh the banner logic and this document together.
Managing cookies and storage
You can clear site data through your browser settings, including cookies, cache, and stored values for this domain. If you reject non-essential cookies via our banner, we only store the rejection flag needed to respect your choice. You can change your mind by clearing storage for this domain or using browser controls to remove individual keys. Industry opt-outs for interest-based advertising generally do not remove strictly necessary cookies and may not affect first-party editorial sites to the same extent as large ad networks.
Analytics and performance measurement
We do not deploy third-party analytics cookies on this Site by default. If that stance changes, this policy will describe the vendor, categories, retention, and lawful basis, and we will adjust the consent banner before activating such tags. Aggregate server logs may still exist at the hosting layer for security; those logs are addressed in the Privacy Policy rather than as browser cookies.
Do Not Track and global privacy controls
Some browsers transmit “Do Not Track” signals or support global privacy control headers. There is no uniform legal standard requiring a specific technical response in the UK for all publishers. We nevertheless aim to keep non-essential storage minimal and to honour clear user choices expressed through our banner and browser data-clearing tools.
Children
The Site is intended for adults aged 18 or over in the United Kingdom. We do not knowingly engage children with marketing cookies or gamified prompts, and we expect guardians to enable parental controls on shared devices.
Updates to this Cookie Policy
We may revise this policy to reflect regulatory guidance, product changes, or supplier updates. Material changes will be indicated by updating the “Last updated” date. Where new non-essential technologies are introduced, we will seek consent in line with PECR before activation.
