1. Who we are
This site is operated by Anonymous Ginger Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales under company number 08236514, whose registered office is at International House, 109-111 Fulham Palace Road, London, W6 8JA. We trade as Race Advisor.
When this policy says “we”, “us” or “our”, it means Anonymous Ginger Ltd.
Questions about anything in this policy go to [email protected]
2. What this policy covers
Most people say “cookies”. The law is broader than that, and the site uses more than cookies, so this policy covers every technology that stores information on your device or reads information already stored there. That includes:
- cookies, the small text files a site asks your browser to keep
- tracking pixels, invisible images that report back when a page or an email is opened
- local storage and session storage, browser storage that works like a cookie but holds more
- scripts and tags, code from us or from a third party that runs when a page loads
- device fingerprinting, building a picture of your device from its settings rather than storing anything on it
We call all of these “cookies” below for readability. The rules apply to all of them equally.
3. The short version
- Some cookies keep the site working and your account secure. These run always. There is no way to turn them off and still use the site.
- Some cookies count visits so we can see which pages are useful. These run unless you tell us not to, and you can tell us not to at any time, free, in one click.
- Some cookies remember a preference so the site looks the way you left it. Same position as above.
- Cookies for advertising never run until you say yes. That includes anything that follows you to another site. If you ignore the banner, the answer is no.
You can change any of these choices at any time by using the ‘Cookie preferences’ link in the footer.
4. Cookies that keep the site working
These are exempt from consent because the site cannot deliver what you asked for without them. The legal test is narrow and is judged from your point of view, not ours: a cookie is only strictly necessary if the thing you asked for genuinely fails without it. Something that is merely useful to us does not qualify.
| What it does | Set by | How long it stays |
|---|---|---|
| Keeps you signed in and ties your session to your account | Race Advisor | until you sign out |
| Protects forms and account pages against cross-site request forgery | Race Advisor | until you close your browser |
| Filters malicious traffic and keeps the site available | Cloudflare | a short period, then it renews |
| Processes payments and detects card fraud at checkout | Stripe | until your purchase is complete |
| Remembers the cookie choices you made on this page | Race Advisor | 12 months |
None of these are used to build a picture of you, and none of them follow you to other sites.
5. Cookies that run unless you tell us not to
Two kinds of cookie sit here. The law treats them slightly differently but the position for you is identical: they run by default, and you can switch them off at any time, free, in one click.
Counting visits. These tell us how many people come, which pages they read and where they give up, so we know what to build and what to fix. We do not use them to identify you and we do not use them for advertising.
Remembering preferences. These remember a choice you made, such as a notice you have already dismissed, so the site looks the same next time you come back.
| What it does | Set by | Roughly how long it lasts |
|---|---|---|
| Counts visits, pages viewed and the path taken through the site | Google Analytics | up to two years |
| Tells returning visits apart from first visits | Google Analytics | about a day |
| Remembers a notice you have already dismissed, so it stays dismissed | Race Advisor | about a year |
Since 5 February 2026, UK law lets us run both of these without asking permission first, on two conditions. We have to tell you plainly that it is happening, which is what this section is, and we have to give you a free and simple way to say no. You can say no by using the ‘Cookie preferences’ link in the footer. and we will stop straight away.
6. Cookies we will not set unless you agree
These stay switched off until you turn them on. Nothing here runs on a first visit, and closing the banner without choosing counts as no.
| What it does | Set by | Roughly how long it lasts |
|---|---|---|
| Measures which adverts led to a visit or a subscription, and builds audiences for future adverts | Meta (Facebook and Instagram) | about three months |
| Records that an advert led to a visit, and marks the visit so it can be matched later | Meta (Facebook and Instagram) | about three months |
If you say no, our adverts still appear, we simply cannot tell which of them worked. Nothing you have paid for is affected either way. We do not run cookie walls and we never make access to the site conditional on accepting advertising cookies.
7. Third parties, and what we can and cannot control
Some of the cookies above are set by other companies rather than by us. Where that happens we have chosen to run their technology on our site, so we are responsible for telling you about it and for holding it back until you agree. What we cannot do is control what those companies then do with what they collect. Their own policies govern that.
The third parties named above are Cloudflare, Stripe, Meta and Google. Each publishes its own privacy and cookie information, and we link to it from the cookie settings page.
Our site also links to other sites, including bookmakers, Betfair and racecourse sites. Once you follow a link and leave us, you are on their terms and their cookies, not ours. We have no control over those and we are not responsible for them.
8. How to change your mind
You can change any choice at any time by using the ‘Cookie preferences’ link in the footer. Turning something off takes effect straight away, and we stop.
You can also control cookies through your browser, including deleting the ones already stored and blocking new ones. Be aware that blocking everything at browser level will break parts of the site, including signing in and checkout, because the cookies in section 4 do genuinely have to run.
We will not treat browser settings alone as a decision either way. If your browser sends a do-not-track or global privacy signal, we will treat that as you objecting to everything in section 5, and we will not take it as agreement to anything in section 6.
9. Changes to this policy
We update this policy when what we run changes. If we add anything that needs your permission, we will ask again rather than rely on a choice you made about something else. The date at the top tells you when this version took effect.
10. Complaints
If you are unhappy with how we have handled cookies or your personal information, tell us first at [email protected]. We will acknowledge your complaint within 30 days and tell you what we are doing about it.
If you are still unhappy after that, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk, or on 0303 123 1113. You do not have to come to us first, but it usually gets a faster answer.
