Cookie policy – Accumulator

Pages about accumulators and other betting topics need very little technology to run, and this policy lists what is used. Cookies are small text files saved by a browser on a device; entries in local and session storage and counting pixels behave in a similar way and are covered as well.

Rule and standard of consent

Regulation 6 of the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 (PECR) governs the matter. Storing information on a user’s device, or gaining access to information already 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 must 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. Where cookies lead to the processing of personal data, the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 apply too.

Set without a choice

Strictly necessary files keep a session open, spread load between servers, guard forms against abuse and store the cookie choice itself. The site could not run reliably without them, so no separate consent is asked. Session files disappear when the browser closes; the stored choice lasts at most twelve months.

Set only after consent

Functional files keep settings such as the comparison tables opened last. Analytics files count page views and show which pages are read, which helps the editors improve the content. Both groups wait for consent given through the cookie banner. IP addresses are shortened before analysis, and no profiles following behaviour across several sites are built.

Outside services

Embedded videos, maps and similar services may set files of their own. The provider’s privacy rules then apply as well, and objections are directed to that provider. Accumulator 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 reopens the choice at any time. 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 manufacturers’ own help pages describe 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 the handling of personal data goes to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK’s supervisory authority. The privacy policy of this site describes the processing in detail.
