Cookie Policy
Last updated: November 28, 2025

This Cookie Policy explains how Bluegrass Turf Odds (“we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on the website bluegrass-turf-odds.com (the “Site”).

We are an editorial and comparison website providing horse racing insights, rankings and sweepstakes casino coverage. We do not accept or process bets ourselves, but we may work with advertising and affiliate partners who use cookies for tracking and analytics purposes.

By using the Site, where applicable, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this Policy. You can withdraw or modify your consent at any time as explained below.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer, tablet, smartphone or other device when you visit a website. Cookies typically contain:

  • The name of the website that set the cookie
  • How long the cookie will remain on your device
  • A value (usually a unique identifier)

Cookies help websites recognize your device, remember your preferences, understand how visitors use the site and, in some cases, deliver personalized content or advertising.

We may also use technologies similar to cookies, such as:

  • Pixels / tags – small code snippets that allow tracking of user actions (e.g. page views, clicks).
  • Local storage – browser-based storage used to remember settings and preferences.

For simplicity, we refer to all of these technologies as “cookies” in this Policy.

2. What types of cookies do we use?

We may use the following categories of cookies on the Site:

2.1. Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are essential for the basic functioning of the Site and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as:

  • Navigating pages and ensuring proper loading
  • Remembering basic technical settings (e.g. security settings, load balancing)
  • Managing your consent choices

Without these cookies, some parts of the Site may not work properly.

2.2. Performance and analytics cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors use the Site so we can improve content, navigation and overall user experience. They may collect information such as:

  • Which pages you visit and how long you stay
  • The links you click on
  • The device and browser you use

We use this information in aggregated form; it does not aim to identify you personally. We may use third-party analytics providers to help us collect and analyze this data.

2.3. Functionality cookies

Functionality cookies allow the Site to remember your choices and provide enhanced features. For example, they may be used to:

  • Remember language or region preferences (where applicable)
  • Save simple user settings on the Site
  • Support certain interactive features (e.g. forms or embedded tools)

If you disable these cookies, some features may not function as intended.

2.4. Advertising and affiliate cookies

Because we publish editorial rankings and partner offers, we may include links and tracking technologies from advertising and affiliate partners. These cookies may:

  • Track when you click on a link to a partner site
  • Attribute a registration or qualifying action (such as opening an account with a partner) to our Site
  • Help measure the performance of our content and partner campaigns

These cookies do not mean that Bluegrass Turf Odds accepts wagers. They are used solely for marketing attribution, reporting and to support the commercial relationships that help us operate the Site.

Depending on your location, these cookies may be set only with your consent.

2.5. Social media and embedded content cookies

Our Site may include third-party content, such as:

  • Embedded videos
  • Social media buttons or widgets
  • External tools and iframes

These third parties may set their own cookies to track usage of their services or to build profiles based on your interests. We do not control these cookies and their use is governed by the privacy and cookie policies of the respective providers.

3. Third-party cookies

Some cookies on our Site are set by third parties acting on our behalf, or by partners whose services we integrate. These may include:

  • Analytics providers – to analyze traffic, usage patterns and performance of the Site.
  • Advertising and affiliate networks – to track clicks, referrals and conversions when you visit partner websites through our links.
  • Embedded content providers – such as video or social media platforms.

These third parties may process your data in accordance with their own privacy and cookie policies. We encourage you to review those policies directly on their websites.

4. Legal basis (EEA/UK visitors)

If you access the Site from the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom or a similar jurisdiction, our legal basis for using cookies is:

  • Strictly necessary cookies: Our legitimate interests in ensuring the proper functioning, security and performance of the Site.
  • All other cookies (e.g. analytics, advertising, functionality where not strictly necessary): Your consent, which you may provide through a cookie banner or preference tool where available, and which you can withdraw at any time.

5. How can you control cookies?

You have several options for managing or disabling cookies:

5.1. Browser settings

Most web browsers allow you to:

  • See which cookies are stored and delete them
  • Block third-party cookies
  • Block all cookies from being set
  • Configure the browser to delete cookies when you close it

The steps vary by browser. You can usually find instructions in the “Help” or “Settings” section of your browser.

Please note that if you block or delete cookies, some parts of the Site may not function correctly or may become less convenient to use.

5.2. Site-level controls

Where available, you can manage your cookie preferences via the cookie banner or settings tool shown when you first visit the Site, or via a link labeled “Cookie Settings” or similar.

These tools typically allow you to:

  • Accept all cookies
  • Reject non-essential cookies
  • Customize which categories of cookies you allow

5.3. Third-party opt-outs

Some third-party providers offer their own opt-out options (for example, for analytics or advertising). You can review the respective privacy and cookie policies of those providers for more information about how to opt out.

6. Do-Not-Track and similar signals

Some browsers include a “Do-Not-Track” (“DNT”) signal. At this time, there is no widely accepted standard for how websites should respond to such signals. Accordingly, our Site does not currently respond to DNT signals. We will review and may update this position if relevant standards are adopted in the future.

7. Changes to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, for example to reflect changes to:

  • The cookies we use
  • Our services and technologies
  • Applicable laws and regulations

When we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
