Cookie policy
Last updated 20 October 2026
We keep cookies to a minimum. Analytics is off until you say yes, and we never use advertising cookies.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device. Similar technologies, such as your browser's local storage, do the same job. This page covers all of them and is read together with the privacy policy.
What we use
| Name | Set by | What it does | Lasts | Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| hol-consent | Hub of Luck (local storage) | Remembers whether you accepted or refused analytics. | Until you clear it | Strictly necessary (stores your choice) |
| hol-market | Hub of Luck (local storage) | Remembers the market (UK, Canada or US) you picked so listings match it. | Until you clear it | Functional preference you set |
| _ga and _ga_<ID> | Google Analytics 4 | Counts visits and pages read, anonymously, so we can see which guides help. Set only if you choose Allow analytics. | Up to 2 years | Analytics (consent required) |
The names above are the ones in use at the date shown. Google may change its cookie names, so if you see one not listed, tell us and we will update the table.
What we do not use
- No advertising, retargeting or social-media tracking cookies or pixels.
- No cookies from Vercel Web Analytics or Speed Insights. They give us aggregate page-view and speed numbers without cookies.
- Google Analytics always has advertising storage, ad user data and ad personalisation switched off.
Your choice
The first time you visit, a notice asks whether to allow analytics. Choose "No thanks" and Google Analytics sets no cookies and records nothing about you. You can change your mind at any time with Cookie settings in the footer. You can also delete cookies and site data in your browser settings, or turn on your browser's tracking-protection or "Do Not Track" features.
Operator sites
When you click through to a gambling operator, that site and its affiliate network set their own cookies, including cookies that record that you came from Hub of Luck. We do not control them. Read the operator's own cookie notice.
