Cookies – welcomeoffersuk
This page explains the small files welcomeoffersuk may set while you compare welcome offers, and what you can do about them.
What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file stored in your browser by a website, letting the site recognise the browser again. Some are essential just to load a page; others count visits or hold a setting.
The legal basis in the UK
Cookies fall under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) in the UK, overseen by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). A strictly necessary cookie can be set without consent; other cookies require it, barring an exemption, and where personal data is involved the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018 apply too, as explained in the privacy policy.
Cookies we use
- Essential cookies keep the site running, such as remembering a chosen setting, and cannot be switched off within the site.
- Analytics cookies show, in aggregate, how many readers reach a page and by what route, without identifying anyone.
Cookies here are not used for advertising and are never passed to a gambling operator.
How long they last
A session cookie is deleted when you close the browser. A persistent analytics cookie expires after a set period, at most 13 months.
Switching cookies off
Every major browser has settings to view, block and delete cookies. Blocking essential cookies may affect parts of the site; blocking analytics cookies changes nothing about reading it.
