Cookie policy
Last updated 28 September 2026
We set no analytics, advertising or third party cookies, so nothing here tracks you across other sites.
There is no consent banner because strictly necessary cookies need no consent under UK PECR, the EU ePrivacy Directive or the US state privacy laws.
The preference cookies hold only choices you made here, so they need no consent either.
If we ever add a cookie that does, we will ask you before setting it.
The cookies we set
| Name | Purpose | Lasts | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
bs-access | Keeps you signed in after you enter the site access code. It stores a salted hash of the code, never the code itself, so a copied cookie is useless once the code changes. | 30 days | Strictly necessary |
bs-admin | Set only if you entered an admin code. Shows the internal pages used by the people who run the service. | 30 days | Strictly necessary |
bs-member | Set only if your access came through a membership. Holds a signed token for that membership so we can check it is still active. It carries no name or email. | 30 days | Strictly necessary |
bs-bookie | Remembers which bookmaker you chose in Settings, so prices show in the book you actually use. A bookmaker name and nothing else. | 1 year | Preference |
bs-books | Remembers which bookmaker desks you chose to see in comparison tables. A list of names and nothing else. | 1 year | Preference |
bs-compare | Price view and selected books. | 1 year | Preference |
bs-odds | Remembers whether you read prices as decimals or fractions. | 1 year | Preference |
bs-supersub | Remembers whether the Super Sub switch is on. | 1 year | Preference |
bs-prefs | Holds the choices you made in Preferences, so pages open your way. Leagues you pinned or hid, default filters, table density and columns, time zone and landing page. | 1 year | Preference |
bs-vdef | Holds the view you made the default for each page, so the page opens with it. Filters and nothing else. | 1 year | Preference |
The three sign in cookies are HttpOnly, so page scripts cannot read them.
The preference cookies are set by the page itself and readable by scripts here, which is why they hold nothing personal.
All of them are marked same site, so other websites cannot send them.
Local storage
bs-supersub, whether the Super Sub switch is onbs-theme, your light or dark choice, if you have set onebs-split, where you dragged the divider in the research workspacebs-prefs, your choices in Preferencesbs-saved-views, views you saved on this device that are not kept with a membership
If you are a member, your saved views and preferences are also kept with your membership, so they follow you to another device. Nothing else here reaches us.
Removing them
Clearing this site's cookies and storage removes everything above, and you will need to enter the access code again.
You can block cookies entirely in your browser, but then the site cannot keep you signed in.

What we do with personal data is covered in the privacy policy. Your rights, and how to contact us, are set out there too.
