This page explains what cookies we use on FreeTips, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences.
Cookies help us keep FreeTips free. Analytics cookies let us understand what content is popular. Affiliate cookies fund the editorial team. You can opt out of non-essential cookies at any time.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow websites to remember information about your visit — such as your preferred language, dark/light mode setting, and browsing behaviour — making return visits more efficient and personalised.
Cookies can be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (stored on your device for a set period). They can be set by the website you're visiting ("first-party cookies") or by third-party services embedded in the page ("third-party cookies").
These cookies are essential for the Site to function properly. They enable core features such as dark mode preferences, mobile menu behaviour, and security tokens. These cookies cannot be disabled as the Site would not work correctly without them. No personal data is transmitted to third parties via these cookies.
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with the Site — which pages are most popular, how long people stay, where traffic comes from, and similar aggregate insights. Analytics cookies collect data in anonymised form. The information is used solely to improve the Site. You can opt out via Google's Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
When you click a link to a bookmaker on FreeTips, an affiliate tracking cookie may be set by the bookmaker's tracking system. This cookie records that you arrived from FreeTips so that we can receive a commission if you sign up. These cookies are third-party cookies set by the bookmaker, not by FreeTips. We have no access to your account or activity at the bookmaker.
These store your preferences on the Site, such as your chosen dark/light mode setting. They are first-party cookies that expire after 365 days.
When you first visit FreeTips, you may be presented with a cookie consent banner. You can accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or manage preferences individually. You can change your preferences at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the Site.
Most browsers also allow you to control cookies via their settings. Instructions for common browsers:
Note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of FreeTips, including dark mode persistence and personalisation features.
We may update this Cookie Policy as our use of cookies evolves. The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Questions? Contact us.
