Cookies & Tracking Choices
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. Pixels and similar technologies are small pieces of code that help track actions like page views or link clicks. Affiliate tracking parameters may be added to outbound sportsbook links (for example, special IDs or campaign codes) so a partner can credit us for a referral.
You can manage cookies and trackers in several ways:
-
Use your browser settings to block or delete cookies
-
Use private or incognito browsing modes
-
Adjust settings on your device for advertising IDs (where available)
If you are in a US state with specific privacy rights (such as California), you may also opt out of “sale” or “sharing” of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising by contacting us at [email protected] with “Privacy Request – Do Not Sell or Share” in the subject line.
Where technically feasible, we treat browser-based opt-out signals (such as Global Privacy Control) as a request to opt out of sale/share.
Please note that some site functionality may be limited if you disable certain cookies.
Advertising, Analytics & Affiliates
We use standard analytics tools and advertising technologies to understand how users interact with our content and to fund the Website. This may involve:
-
Analytics services that collect aggregate usage data (for example, page views, traffic sources, time on site)
-
Ad partners that display contextual or programmatic ads related to topics like sports betting, offshore sportsbooks, or other relevant services
-
Affiliate networks or direct partnerships with iGaming and other brands
Affiliate links:
Some outbound links on belgraviabooks.com are affiliate links. This means:
-
A partner may know that you came from our Website (through a click ID or tracking parameter).
-
If you sign up or make a purchase on that partner site, we may earn a commission.
-
This does not change the price you pay, and we aim to keep our editorial opinions independent.
We do not control the data practices of third-party operators, affiliates, or ad partners. Please review their privacy policies before creating an account, placing a bet, or sharing information with them.
Sharing of Information
