Cookie policy – Icehockeyoddshub.com

The odds tables and articles of Icehockeyoddshub.com need very little technology to run. This policy lists the cookies and similar tools in use, what each does and how a reader can decline or alter them. A cookie is a small text file kept by a browser on a device; entries in local and session storage and counting pixels behave much the same way.

What the law requires

Regulation 6 of the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 (PECR) governs the matter. Storing information on a device, or reaching information already held there, calls for clear and comprehensive information and for the user’s consent, unless the storage is strictly necessary to provide a service the user has asked for. Consent has to reach the UK GDPR standard (Article 4(11) and Article 7): freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous, and as easy to withdraw as to give. The UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 also apply where cookies serve to process personal data.

Files set without a choice

Some files are needed for the site to function reliably: keeping a session open, balancing load between servers, guarding forms against abuse and remembering the cookie choice itself. These are set without a separate choice. Session files lapse when the browser closes, and the stored choice is kept for at most twelve months.

Files set only after consent

Functional files remember settings, for instance the comparison table opened last. Analytics files count page views and show which pages are read, which helps the content improve. Both groups wait for consent in the cookie banner. IP addresses are shortened before analysis, and no profile following behaviour across different sites is built.

Outside services

An embedded video or map may set files of its own. The provider’s privacy rules then apply as well, and any objection goes to that provider. Icehockeyoddshub.com sets no advertising cookies for personalised ads without a clear choice in the consent banner.

Changing or withdrawing consent

The “Cookie settings” link in the footer lets a reader change or withdraw consent whenever wanted; withdrawal works for the future and leaves earlier processing lawful. Browsers also let their users block and delete cookies in their privacy settings, and the makers’ help pages explain the steps for Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge. Once the necessary files are deleted the banner returns, and certain features may briefly stop working.

Complaints

A complaint about how personal data is handled can go to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK’s supervisory authority. The privacy policy of this site sets out how personal data is processed.
