This notice describes cookies and browser storage identified for BettingWoW during a review on 9 September 2026. A cookie is information a service stores in the browser and can receive with later requests. Local storage can also save information in the browser, but works differently from a cookie.
Storage identified in the review
| Name | Purpose and provider | Duration information |
|---|---|---|
cf_clearance |
Cloudflare security and challenge-detection state, observed for the BettingWoW domain. | The sampled browser received an expiry approximately one year ahead. Effective validity can differ with Cloudflare settings and later security checks. |
bw-theme (local storage) |
BettingWoW’s light/dark display preference when a preference is saved. | Local storage has no built-in timed expiry. It can remain until changed or cleared. |
Cloudflare’s cookie documentation describes cf_clearance, and its JavaScript-detection guidance explains its security use. The observed cookie expiry is not a guarantee that a visitor will avoid future challenges for a year.
Performance requests and other processing
The sampled pages loaded a Cloudflare performance beacon and sent a performance-reporting request. Browser storage is only one part of website processing: receiving a page or sending a measurement can create a network request even where no analytics cookie is set. Cloudflare explains the measurement service in its Web Analytics documentation.
No Google Analytics cookies or the previously described session_id and cookie_consent cookies were observed in the public-page sample. They are not listed here as deployed features.
Your browser choices
You can use your browser’s site-data settings to inspect or clear cookies and local storage for BettingWoW. Clearing a saved display preference can reset the theme choice. Blocking or clearing security cookies can lead to further checks or difficulty accessing the site.
A browser’s cookie control does not automatically stop every network request or erase records already held by a server. The privacy notice describes the server logging and its daily rotation.
When you follow another website’s link
Sites linked from BettingWoW, such as the Gambling Commission, GamCare or Cloudflare’s documentation, may use their own cookies, identifiers or other storage. Those services explain their own settings and durations.
Cookie rules and changes to this notice
The ICO’s guidance on cookies and similar technologies explains why clear information and the applicable consent rules matter. This notice will need to reflect verified changes to the website and its services.
