Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files placed on a browser or device. Similar technologies may store or access information without using a traditional cookie. They can keep a basket working, maintain a login, protect an account, remember preferences or measure how the site is used.

These support services you request or functions essential to the website, such as account login, basket and checkout, payment security, fraud prevention, load balancing, consent preferences, competition entries, ticket allocation and instant-win result delivery.

Where the law permits, these technologies may be used without optional consent because the relevant service cannot reasonably operate without them.

Functional technologies remember choices such as display preferences, account settings or enhanced site features. Depending on how they operate, consent may be required before they are used.

Analytics helps us understand traffic, page performance, checkout journeys, errors and aggregated usage patterns. Where consent is required, analytics will only be enabled after consent has been obtained.

Advertising, conversion-measurement, retargeting and social-media technologies may recognise a browser or device across services. These are non-essential and require consent where applicable. They may be provided by advertising, analytics or social-media partners.

• Consent must be given by a clear positive action and is not inferred merely because you continue browsing
• Non-essential categories should be capable of being rejected as easily as they are accepted
• Optional categories should not be pre-selected where consent is required
• You can change or withdraw your choice through the site’s cookie settings where available

The specific cookies, providers, purposes and durations in use may change as the website and service providers change. The most current itemised information should be shown in the cookie-consent tool or cookie settings presented on the website. Browser developer tools may also show technologies stored on your device.

Third parties may include payment processors, fraud-prevention providers, hosting and security services, analytics tools, advertising networks, embedded video providers, email platforms and social networks. Their use of information is also governed by their own privacy information.

You can block or delete cookies through browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary technologies may prevent login, checkout, account balances, ticket allocation, instant-win features or fraud checks from working correctly.

Session technologies normally expire when the browser closes. Persistent technologies remain for a stated period or until deleted. Consent records and preference cookies may be retained for a reasonable period so that the site remembers your choice and can demonstrate compliance.

We may update this policy when technology, providers or legal requirements change. Material changes will be reflected in the updated date shown on the legal page.
