Cookie Policy
Last updated: 30 mayo 2026.
This Cookie Policy explains how nba Final Bets uses cookies and similar technologies on the website. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which sets out how we process personal data more broadly. We have written this document to comply with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), and to give you genuine, informed control over what runs in your browser when you visit our pages.
What is a cookie
A cookie is a small text file that a website asks your browser to store on your device. Cookies allow the website to remember things between page views — for example, that you have already chosen language settings, or that you have already responded to the cookie banner. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, pixels and software development kits. For ease of reading, this policy uses the word «cookies» to cover all of them.
Cookies can be classified by who sets them (first-party cookies, set by us; third-party cookies, set by a service we use); by how long they last (session cookies, which expire when you close the browser; persistent cookies, which remain for a defined period); and by what they do (strictly necessary, functional, performance, or marketing).
Our overall approach
We do not use cookies for behavioural advertising. We do not sell or share cookie data with third-party ad networks. We use cookies only for two purposes: to make the website work correctly, and — with your explicit consent — to count anonymous traffic so that we can improve our editorial work.
The cookie banner that appears on your first visit gives you a real choice. «Accept all» enables strictly necessary cookies plus performance cookies. «Reject all» enables only strictly necessary cookies. «Customise» lets you decide category by category. You can change your decision at any time by reopening the preference panel from the footer of any page.
Categories of cookies we use
The following four categories cover every cookie that may be set by the website. Strictly necessary cookies are loaded by default; the remaining categories require your prior consent under PECR and UK GDPR.
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function. They support security, page delivery, and the operation of the cookie banner itself. Without them, the website cannot work correctly, which is why they are loaded without consent. Strictly necessary cookies do not track you across other websites and are never used for marketing.
Typical examples include a session cookie that maintains the integrity of a single browsing session; a cookie that records your cookie-banner decision so that you are not asked again on every page; and a cookie set by our content delivery network to balance load between servers. These cookies typically expire either at the end of the browsing session or within twelve months at most.
Functional cookies
Functional cookies remember preferences you have actively chosen — for example, a preferred reading mode or a saved layout. They are not essential for the site to operate, but they make it more comfortable to use. They do not collect data that could be used for marketing. We will only set functional cookies after you have given consent for them.
Performance and analytics cookies
Performance cookies count anonymous visits to the website and tell us, in aggregate form, which articles are read, how long the average visit lasts, and whether readers return. We use this information only to improve our editorial output — for example, to decide which long-form pieces to expand and which short pieces to retire. Performance cookies are only set after you have given consent through the cookie banner.
Where we use a third-party analytics provider, we configure it to anonymise IP addresses, to avoid cross-site tracking where the tool permits, and to retain raw data for a limited period. Persistent analytics cookies in this category typically expire within thirteen months.
Marketing cookies
We do not currently set marketing cookies on the website. We do not embed advertising tags, retargeting pixels or social-media tracking scripts in our editorial pages. If this position changes in future, we will update this Cookie Policy and request fresh consent through the cookie banner before any such cookie is set on your device.
How to manage cookies
You have several practical routes to control how cookies are used on your device.
Through our preference panel. Open the cookie preference panel from the footer of any page on the website. You can accept categories, reject categories or fine-tune your choice. Your decision is recorded in a strictly necessary cookie and applied to all future visits from the same browser. To change your mind, open the panel again.
Through your browser. All modern browsers allow you to view the cookies that have been set on your device and to delete them individually or in bulk. They also allow you to block cookies from specific websites, to block all third-party cookies, or to block cookies entirely. The Information Commissioner’s Office maintains accessible guidance on how to do this in each major browser.
By using a Global Privacy Control signal. Where your browser sends a recognised privacy signal — for example, Global Privacy Control or «Do Not Track» — we treat it as a request not to set non-essential cookies, in line with current ICO guidance.
Please note that if you choose to block strictly necessary cookies, parts of the website may not function correctly. Blocking performance cookies does not affect site functionality; it only prevents us from counting your visit in our anonymous traffic figures.
Third-party cookies and international transfers
Some of the cookies described above may be set or read by third-party service providers acting on our behalf (for example, our analytics provider or our content delivery network). These providers may process data outside the United Kingdom. Where this is the case, we rely on transfer mechanisms recognised by the UK Information Commissioner’s Office — typically the UK International Data Transfer Agreement, the UK Addendum to the European Commission Standard Contractual Clauses, or an applicable adequacy decision — so that your data continues to be protected under standards equivalent to those of the UK GDPR.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, in the providers behind them, or in applicable law. The «Last updated» date at the top of this document indicates when the most recent revision took effect. Substantive changes — particularly any new category of cookie or any change in third-party provider — will be reflected in the cookie banner and may, where appropriate, prompt fresh consent.
Contact and complaints
If you have any questions about this Cookie Policy or about how cookies operate on the website, please refer to the contact section of our Legal Notice. If you believe your rights have not been respected, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner’s Office, the supervisory authority for data protection in the United Kingdom.
