prevent fraudulent or malicious activity;

The ICO recognises an exemption from consent for cookies that are strictly necessary to provide an online service requested by the user.
4.2 Preference and Functionality Cookies
These cookies allow us to remember choices you make, such as language, region or other website preferences.
Where a cookie is not strictly necessary to provide a service you have requested, we will ask for your consent before placing it on your device.

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website.
For example, they may help us understand:

which pages are visited;

how visitors navigate our website;

how long users spend on different areas of the website;

whether particular pages or features are functioning correctly

how we can improve the performance and usability of our Services.
Analytics cookies are not automatically considered strictly necessary. Where required by law, we will obtain your consent before using them.
4.4 Marketing and Advertising Cookies
Where applicable, marketing or advertising cookies may be used to help measure advertising campaigns, understand interactions with advertisements or provide more relevant advertising.
These cookies are not strictly necessary for the operation of our Services.
We will only use these cookies or similar tracking technologies where we have obtained the consent required under applicable law.
You can refuse or withdraw consent to these cookies at any time through our Cookie Settings.
Because DC Bet provides gambling services, we may also apply additional controls to marketing and advertising activities to support our regulatory and responsible-gambling obligations.
