Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how and why cookies and similar technologies are used on our website. It is designed to provide you with clear and comprehensive information about the data collected when you visit and interact with the services offered by BetVictor. This policy also outlines your choices regarding the management of these cookies. By understanding how these technologies work, you can make informed decisions about your privacy and user experience.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files containing a unique identifier that are downloaded to and stored on your device (such as a computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide a more personalised browsing experience. Cookies enable websites to recognise your device and remember information about your visit, such as your preferences, settings, and login details.
Session vs. Persistent Cookies
Cookies can be categorised based on their lifespan. The two primary types are session cookies and persistent cookies, each serving a different purpose.
- Session Cookies: These are temporary files that exist only for the duration of your visit to a website. They are automatically deleted from your device as soon as you close your web browser. Their main function is to help you navigate the website smoothly, for instance, by remembering which pages you have already visited so you do not have to re-enter information.
- Persistent Cookies: Unlike session cookies, these files remain on your device for a pre-defined period even after you close your browser. They are activated each time you revisit the website that created them. Persistent cookies are used to remember your preferences and settings over multiple visits, making your experience more convenient and tailored.
First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies
Cookies can also be classified by the domain that places them on your device. This distinction is important for understanding where the information collected by the cookie is being sent.
- First-Party Cookies: These are set directly by the website you are visiting, which in this case is betvictor-online.com. The data collected by these cookies is used by us to ensure the proper functioning of our services and to analyse website performance.
- Third-Party Cookies: These are set by a domain other than the one you are currently visiting. They are typically placed on our website by our trusted partners, such as analytics providers, advertising networks, or social media platforms, to provide specific services or features.

Detailed Breakdown of Cookie Categories
To provide greater transparency, the following sections offer a more in-depth explanation of each category of cookie used on our website.
Strictly Necessary Cookies
The use of strictly necessary cookies is fundamental to our website’s operation, and they cannot be disabled in our systems. They are essential for core services you request, such as logging into your account, navigating pages, and processing transactions. These cookies do not store personally identifiable information. Disabling them via your browser will prevent key parts of the site from functioning, including secure account areas.
Performance and Analytics Cookies
To understand how our website is used, we utilise performance and analytics cookies. All data they gather is aggregated and anonymous, providing vital insight into user behaviour for platform improvement. These cookies enable us to count visits, identify traffic sources, and see which pages are most popular. This allows us to measure site performance, optimise page layouts, and streamline user journeys.
Functionality Cookies
For an enhanced and personalised experience, our website uses functionality cookies. These work by remembering choices you have made on previous visits, such as a language preference or selected odds format, so you do not have to set them again. Functionality cookies can also remember your username for a faster login. Their purpose is to create a more convenient experience by reducing the need to re-enter information.
Targeting and Advertising Cookies
Relevant advertisements are delivered using targeting and advertising cookies, which build a profile of your interests based on your browsing activity. Typically set by our third-party advertising partners, they do not store direct personal information but uniquely identify your browser. If you disallow these cookies, advertisements will still appear, but they will be less tailored to you. These also help us measure marketing campaign performance.
How to Manage and Control Your Cookies
