Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which cookies quaddiehorseracing.com (“FourCast”) uses, why we use them and how you can control them.
What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites function, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to site operators about how the site is being used.
Cookies may be “session cookies”, which are deleted when you close your browser, or “persistent cookies”, which remain on your device until they expire or are deleted manually.
Cookies FourCast Uses
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the basic functioning of the site. Without them, services you have requested — such as pages loading correctly — cannot be delivered. Because they are strictly necessary, they do not require your consent under UK PECR rules.
Examples include cookies set by the hosting infrastructure to manage load balancing and session routing. These cookies do not contain personally identifying information and are not used for tracking or advertising.
Analytics Cookies
FourCast may use analytics cookies to collect information about how visitors use the site in aggregate. This helps us understand which content is most useful and how the site can be improved. Analytics data is collected in a way that does not identify individual visitors where technically possible.
If analytics cookies are in use, they are set on the basis of your consent where required by law. You can withdraw consent at any time by adjusting your browser settings or using the cookie preferences mechanism where one is provided on this site.
No Advertising or Tracking Cookies
FourCast does not use cookies for targeted advertising, behavioural tracking or retargeting. We do not share cookie data with advertising networks or social media platforms. No third-party advertising scripts are loaded on this site.
Third-Party Cookies
FourCast loads fonts from Google Fonts, which may set its own cookies or log requests as described in Google’s privacy documentation at policies.google.com/privacy. FourCast has no control over cookies set by third-party services and is not responsible for their content.
External links on FourCast point to sites including the UK Tote, the Gambling Commission, GamCare and Racing Post. When you follow these links, those sites may set their own cookies according to their own policies. FourCast is not responsible for cookies set by third-party sites.
Managing Cookies
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. The steps differ by browser:
In Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data.
In Mozilla Firefox: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and Site Data.
In Apple Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data.
In Microsoft Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Cookies and stored data.
Blocking all cookies will affect the functionality of many websites, not just FourCast. If you disable strictly necessary cookies, some parts of this site may not work as intended.
Your Rights
Under the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and the UK GDPR, you have the right to refuse non-essential cookies. Where FourCast sets non-essential cookies, your consent is required and can be withdrawn at any time.
For questions about how we handle cookies or personal data more generally, please refer to our Privacy Policy at /privacy-policy/.
Changes to This Policy
FourCast may update this Cookie Policy if we change the cookies we use or if legal requirements change. The date at the top of the page shows when the policy was last reviewed. Continued use of the site constitutes acceptance of any updates.
