This policy explains what cookies and local storage Tipping Monster Stats uses, why, and how you can control them.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make sites work, or work more efficiently, and to provide information to site owners.
We also use Cloudflare Web Analytics, a privacy-first measurement tool that sets no cookies, uses no fingerprinting and stores no personal data — it counts page views in aggregate only, so it runs without a consent prompt.
We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand aggregate usage of the site — which pages are popular, how visitors navigate, and where we can improve. GA4 only sets these cookies after you accept.
| Cookie | Set by | Purpose | Expires |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes unique visitors | 2 years |
_ga_G-EEPS5CTN3W | Google Analytics | Maintains session state for this property | 2 years |
_gid | Google Analytics | Distinguishes users (session-level) | 24 hours |
_gat | Google Analytics | Throttles request rate | 1 minute |
Google Analytics data is processed in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy. We do not use GA4 for advertising or remarketing.
We store the following in your browser's localStorage to remember your preferences and saved data. This information stays on your device and is never sent to our servers or any third party.
| Key | Purpose |
|---|---|
oddsMode | Your odds format preference (fractional / decimal) |
racecardView | Your racecard layout preference (table / cards) |
tm-theme | Light / dark mode preference |
tm_stable | Your saved stable (favourite horses) |
tm_notes | Your personal notes on horses |
tm_watch | Your watchlist |
tm_breeding_favs | Your favourite sires/damsires |
tm_systems | Your saved filter systems |
tm_cookie_consent | Your cookie consent choice (accepted / declined) |
You can change or withdraw your analytics consent at any time. Clicking the button below clears your stored choice and reloads the page so the consent banner reappears.
Your current choice is stored under the key tm_cookie_consent in your browser's localStorage.
Tipping Monster Stats does not set any Set-Cookie HTTP headers. All session handling uses short-lived signed tokens passed via request headers, not cookies.
To protect against automated abuse and scraping, this site uses Cloudflare Turnstile, a privacy-focused alternative to traditional CAPTCHAs. It runs invisibly in the background and does not ask you to solve puzzles or click checkboxes. Your use of Turnstile is subject to the Cloudflare Privacy Policy and Turnstile Privacy Addendum.
The site contains links to third-party sites (Racing Post, Betfair, Telegram, etc.). Those sites have their own cookie and privacy policies which we do not control.
