Cookie Policy
Last updated: 18 June 2026
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies mma Betting Online uses, why we use them, and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which describes how we process personal data more broadly under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. The use of cookies is additionally governed by the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR), as enforced by the Information Commissioner’s Office.
What a Cookie Is
A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your device — laptop, tablet or phone — when you visit it. Cookies let the site remember information about your visit, such as your preferred language or whether you have dismissed a notice, so the site can behave consistently the next time you return. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, pixels and tracking tags, which serve comparable functions through different mechanisms. Where this policy refers to “cookies”, it includes those similar technologies unless stated otherwise.
The Categories We Use
We group cookies into four categories. Strictly necessary cookies keep the site operational: they handle security, load balancing, consent state, and core page rendering. These do not require consent under PECR, because the site cannot function without them, but we document them here for transparency. Preference cookies remember choices you make, such as dismissing a banner or selecting a display option. Analytics cookies help us understand which articles readers engage with in aggregated form, so we can prioritise editorial work. Marketing cookies, where used, support limited campaign measurement; we do not use cross-site advertising cookies.
Preference, analytics and marketing cookies are set only after you give consent through our cookie banner. Strictly necessary cookies are set on first load because the site would not work without them.
Consent
On your first visit, we show a consent banner listing the non-essential categories. You can accept all, reject all, or open a preference panel and accept category-by-category. Your choice is stored in a consent cookie so that you are not asked again on every page load. You can change your decision at any time by revisiting the preference panel through the link in the site footer.
Rejecting non-essential cookies does not block access to editorial content. The only consequence is that analytics will not record your visit in detail and some optional preferences will not be remembered between sessions.
Third-Party Cookies
Where we use third-party services for analytics, content delivery, or font rendering, those providers may set their own cookies under their own policies. We select providers that commit to UK GDPR and PECR compliance and that operate on a processor basis where the data relates to identifiable individuals. Providers and their purposes are reviewed periodically and updated here when they change.
How Long Cookies Last
Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period, after which they expire. Our strictly necessary cookies are typically session cookies or short-lived persistent cookies. Preference cookies last up to twelve months. Analytics cookies last up to twenty-six months at most, in line with common UK practice. Marketing cookies, where used, follow the retention defined by the specific campaign and do not exceed thirteen months.
Managing Cookies in Your Browser
Every modern browser lets you view, block, and delete cookies. Browser controls apply across every website you visit, not only mma Betting Online. You can also set your browser to warn you before accepting a cookie, to reject all cookies by default, or to clear cookies on exit. The controls are available in the privacy or security section of your browser’s settings. Blocking all cookies globally may disable features on many websites, including this one.
On mobile devices, equivalent controls are available in the operating-system privacy settings. Resetting a mobile advertising identifier clears any marketing-related identifiers associated with your device.
Do Not Track
Some browsers send a Do Not Track (DNT) signal. There is no universally agreed standard for how websites should respond to DNT, so we do not rely on the DNT signal alone to set preferences. Your choices through our consent banner are the definitive record of your preferences on mma Betting Online.
Children
mma Betting Online is intended for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly use cookies to profile users we believe to be under 18, and we do not participate in child-directed advertising networks.
Changes to This Policy
We update this policy whenever the set of cookies on the site changes materially or when the law is revised. The revision date at the top of this page reflects the most recent change. Where a change materially affects how we use non-essential cookies, we re-prompt for consent through the banner.
Contact
Questions about our use of cookies, requests to exercise your rights under UK GDPR in relation to cookie data, and complaints about our cookie practice should be sent through the contact method published on our About page. You also have the right to complain directly to the Information Commissioner’s Office.
