Cookie Notice

Overview

This notice explains how ukplayscout.com uses cookies and related technologies. Cookies are small pieces of information stored or read by a browser or device when you visit a website. Similar technologies can perform comparable functions.

Some cookies are necessary for the website to operate. Others can help us understand visitor behaviour, measure referrals or advertising, remember preferences and improve the way our pages work.

What a cookie can do

A cookie may contain an identifier and information about a browsing session, preference or interaction. It does not automatically give us access to files stored on your device. The information available depends on the cookie and the service that set it.

Types of cookies we may use

Essential cookies

These technologies support functions needed for the website to operate, such as security, navigation, consent choices and technical session management. Disabling them can cause parts of the site to work incorrectly.

Preference and functionality cookies

These can remember choices that make later visits more convenient, for example language, interface settings or other preferences that a website feature needs to retain.

Analytics cookies

Analytics technologies help us understand how people reach and use the website. Information can include page views, referral sources, device or browser characteristics, approximate location, time spent on pages and interaction patterns. We use these insights to identify problems and improve content or usability.

Advertising and referral cookies

Marketing or attribution technologies can help measure whether advertising or affiliate links lead to visits or qualifying actions. They may also be used by advertising providers to measure campaigns or personalise advertising where the law and your consent choices permit.

Third-party technologies

Some cookies or similar technologies are set by external providers because we use their analytics, advertising, embedded content, security or referral services. Those providers may process information under their own privacy policies.

Services used on the website may include tools supplied by companies such as Google, Meta, Microsoft or specialist referral and analytics providers. The exact tools in use can change as our technical setup evolves.

Affiliate attribution

When you follow certain operator links, tracking information may be used to record that the visit came from UK Play Scout. This can allow an operator or affiliate platform to attribute a later qualifying action to our website and calculate any referral compensation that may be due.

Managing your choices

You can control non-essential cookies through any consent controls available on the website and through your browser settings. Browser menus typically let you view, delete or block stored cookies and control how new cookies are handled.

Blocking all cookies can affect site functionality. If you want a more limited approach, consider allowing essential cookies while restricting analytics or advertising technologies according to your preferences.

Browser controls

• Chrome: open Privacy and security settings, then review Cookies and site data controls.
• Firefox: use Privacy & Security settings to manage cookies and site data.
• Safari: use Privacy settings to control website tracking and stored website data.
• Edge: open Cookies and site permissions to review tracking and cookie options.

Menu names can change between browser versions, so consult the browser provider's current support documentation if you cannot find the relevant setting.

Analytics and advertising opt-outs

Some third-party providers offer their own privacy or opt-out controls in addition to browser settings. Where you use those controls, the provider is responsible for applying the preference within its own services.

How long cookies remain

Session cookies normally expire when the browsing session ends. Persistent cookies can remain for a defined period or until you remove them. Lifetimes vary by purpose and provider.

Changes to this notice

We may update this Cookie Notice when technology, providers or legal requirements change. Material changes will be reflected in the version published on this page. We encourage users to review the notice periodically.
