At Red On Sports, we use cookies to enhance your browsing experience, improve our website’s functionality, and analyse site performance. This Cookies Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files containing letters and numbers that are downloaded to your device when you visit a website. These cookies are then sent back to the originating website on subsequent visits or to another website that recognises them. Cookies serve various purposes, such as enabling core website functionality, remembering your preferences, and improving your overall experience.

Types of Cookies We Use

We categorise cookies into four main types:

1. Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function properly and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are typically set in response to actions made by you, such as logging in, filling out forms, or accessing secure areas of the website. Without these cookies, certain services or features may not be available.

Examples:

  • Session management
  • Security authentication
  • Load balancing

2. Functional Cookies

These cookies enhance website functionality and personalisation. While not essential, they improve your browsing experience by remembering choices you’ve made, such as language preferences, login details, or previously viewed content.

Examples:

  • Saving display preferences (e.g., contrast, font size)
  • Auto-filling login credentials
  • Remembering user settings across sessions

3. Performance Cookies

Performance cookies collect information about how visitors interact with our website. They help us understand which pages are most popular, how visitors navigate the site, and whether they encounter any errors. This data is aggregated and anonymous, used solely for improving the website’s performance.

Examples:

  • Tracking website traffic and user behaviour via Google Analytics
  • Measuring website speed and response times

4. Targeting or Advertising Cookies

These cookies are used to deliver ads tailored to your interests. They collect data about your browsing habits to make advertising relevant to you and limit the number of times you see an ad. Targeting cookies may also measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.

Examples:

  • Displaying personalised ads based on browsing history
  • Integrating with social media platforms for targeted content
  • Collecting data for third-party advertising networks
First-Party and Third-Party Cookies
  • First-Party Cookies: These are set directly by our website and can only be read by us. They are typically used for core website functionality and performance.
  • Third-Party Cookies: These are set by external providers (e.g., Google, Facebook) and may be used for analytics, advertising, or social media integration. We have no control over third-party cookies, but you can manage them through your browser settings.
