1. How the bestsportslive.com manages cookies on its websites?

We use cookies and similar tools across our websites to improve their performance and enhance your user experience. This policy explains how we do that.

2. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files which a website may put on your computer or mobile device when you first visit a site or page. The cookie will help the website, or another website, to recognize your device the next time you visit. Web beacons or other similar files can also do the same thing. We use the term “cookies” in this policy to refer to all files that collect information in this way. There are many functions cookies serve. For example, they can help us to remember your username and preferences, analyze how well our website is performing, or even allow us to recommend content we believe will be most relevant to you. Certain cookies contain personal information – for example, if you click to “remember me” when logging in, a cookie will store your username. Most cookies won’t collect information that identifies you, and will instead collect more general information such as how users arrive at and use our websites, or a user’s general location.

3. What sort of cookies does the bestsportslive.com use?

Generally, our cookies perform these different functions:

1. Essential cookies

Some cookies are essential for the operation of our website. For example, some cookies allow us to identify subscribers and ensure they can access the subscription only pages. If a subscriber opts to disable these cookies, the user will not be able to access all of the content that a subscription entitles them to.

2. Performance Cookies

We utilize other cookies to analyze how our visitors use our websites and to monitor website performance. This allows us to provide a high quality experience by customizing our offering and quickly identifying and fixing any issues that arise. For example, we might use performance cookies to keep track of which pages are most popular, which method of linking between pages is most effective, and to determine why some pages are receiving error messages. We might also use these cookies to highlight articles or site services that we think will be of interest to you based on your usage of the website.

3. Behaviorally Targeted Advertising Cookies

bestsportslive.com and our advertisers use cookies to serve you with advertisements that we believe are relevant to you and your interests. You might see ads that target you based on your user behavior on bestsportslive.com and on other sites that you visit. However, we do not tell our advertisers who you are.

4. Does anyone else use cookies on bestsportslive.com?

Advertisers sometimes use their own cookies to provide you with targeted advertising. For example, advertisers may use a profile they have built on sites that you have previously visited to present you with more relevant advertisements during your visit to bestsportslive.com. We believe that it is useful to our users to see advertisements that are more relevant to their interests. If you would like to learn more, please visit www.aboutads.info/choices . We also use or allow third parties to serve cookies that fall into the categories above. For example, like many companies, we use services such as Google Analytics to help us monitor our website traffic. We may also use third party cookies to help us with market research, revenue tracking, improving site functionality and monitoring compliance with our terms and conditions and copyright policy.

5. Can a website user block cookies?

As we’ve explained above, cookies help you to get the most out of our websites. The first time you accessed our website after 22 May 2012, you should have seen an overlay which explained that by continuing to access our site, you are consenting to our use of cookies. However, if you do wish to disable our cookies then please follow the instructions from your browsers settings page. Please remember that if you do choose to disable cookies, you may find that certain sections of our website do not work properly.

6. Do we track whether users open our emails?

Our emails may contain a single, campaign-unique “web beacon pixel” to tell us whether our emails are opened and verify any clicks through to links or advertisements within the email. We may use this information for purposes including determining which of our emails are more interesting to users, to query whether users who do not open our emails wish to continue receiving them and to inform our advertisers in aggregate how many users have clicked on their advertisements. The pixel will be deleted when you delete the email. If you do not wish the pixel to be downloaded to your device, you should select to receive emails from us in plain text rather than HTML.
