Cookie Policy
Last updated: March 2025. This Cookie Policy explains how TopTenListed (“we”, “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies on toptenlisted.com (the “Site”), how you can control them, and how this interacts with UK privacy requirements including the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and UK GDPR.
What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixels that perform comparable functions. They can be “first-party” (set by us) or “third-party” (set by another domain), and “session” (deleted when you close the browser) or “persistent” (remaining for a defined period).
Why we use cookies
We use cookies and storage to: keep the Site functioning securely; remember choices such as whether you accepted or rejected non-essential cookies; reduce duplicate prompts where appropriate; and, if analytics tools are enabled, measure aggregate traffic and referral sources so we can improve navigation and content placement. We do not use cookies to run games or take stakes on our Site.
Categories of cookies
Strictly necessary. These are required for core features such as load balancing, security, and remembering cookie preferences. They are used based on legal grounds that do not require consent under PECR for their essential purpose.
Functional. These remember settings that improve usability, such as dismissing informational notices where permitted. Where such technologies are not strictly necessary, we will request consent where required before setting them.
Analytics. If enabled, these help us understand aggregated page views, approximate geography, and device types. We configure analytics to minimise personal data where feasible and to rely on consent where PECR requires it for non-essential analytics.
Marketing. We do not intentionally set third-party advertising cookies on the Site for behavioural profiling. If this ever changes, we will update this Policy and seek consent where required before such cookies are set.
Storage duration
Retention depends on the cookie’s purpose. Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies expire on dates set in the cookie file or when you delete them. Consent records may be stored for a period consistent with regulatory guidance to demonstrate valid choices.
Your choices and controls
Where we present a cookie banner, you can accept or reject non-essential cookies as described at that time. You can also use your browser settings to block or delete cookies; note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the Site from working. Industry opt-out tools may be available for certain third-party advertising networks, though we may not use such networks on the Site.
Third-party links and embedded content
When you follow links to external gambling operators, those sites set their own cookies under their policies. Embedded media or widgets, if present, may set third-party cookies beyond our control; we recommend reviewing the third party’s cookie notice before interacting with embedded content.
Do Not Track
There is no uniform technical standard for “Do Not Track” signals. We configure privacy controls based on UK law and the choices you make through our banner and browser settings rather than on non-standard browser flags alone.
Updates
We may revise this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or our practices. The “Last updated” date will change when revisions are posted. Continued use after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy where permitted by law.
