1. About this policy
This Cookie Policy explains how openbookies.com (operated by S B Developments (North East) Ltd, company number 08284564) uses cookies and similar technologies. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
2. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognise your device and remember information about your visit, such as your preferences and how you use the site. "Similar technologies" include local storage, session storage and tracking pixels, which serve broadly the same purpose.
3. Categories of cookies we use
Strictly necessary cookies
Required for the Site to function. They enable basics such as page navigation and remembering your session. The Site cannot operate properly without them and they do not require consent.
Analytics cookies
We use Google Tag Manager to load measurement tags such as Google Analytics 4. These tags set cookies (for example _ga, _ga_*) that collect anonymous information about how visitors use the Site — pages visited, time on page, referring website and approximate location. We use this only to improve the Site.
Advertising and affiliate tracking
When you click an affiliate link to a gambling operator, the operator or the affiliate network may set their own cookies on their domain to attribute the click and measure conversion. We do not set advertising cookies on openbookies.com itself. Those third-party cookies are governed by the third party's own cookie and privacy policies.
4. Third-party cookies and services
- Google Tag Manager / Google Analytics 4 — measurement of site usage. See Google's privacy policy.
- Affiliate networks and gambling operators — when you click an outbound link, the destination may set cookies on its own domain.

- see what cookies are stored on your device and delete them individually;
