Cookie Policy
This cookie policy explains how DIAMONDLINE uses cookies and similar storage technologies on Betting on Baseball Tips. It is a companion document to the Privacy Policy at /privacy-policy/, which describes the broader handling of personal data on the site. Last updated on 10 August 2026.
The policy is written for readers in the United Kingdom and reflects the requirements of the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003, as amended (PECR), and the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR).
What a cookie is
A cookie is a small text file that a website asks your browser to store on your device when you visit it. The browser sends that file back to the website on your next visit, which is how the site can remember things such as your cookie consent choice or your preferred display settings. Cookies are not programs, do not run code, and cannot read other files on your device. Some technologies that behave similarly to cookies — such as local storage, session storage and server-issued tokens — are covered by this policy on the same basis.
The categories we use
We organise cookies into three categories: strictly necessary, analytics and preferences. The site does not currently use marketing or advertising cookies, does not run remarketing pixels, and does not embed advertising networks.
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are required for the site to load correctly and for security features to function. They cannot be turned off in our cookie banner because the site would not work without them. Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent under PECR. They are limited to recording your cookie consent choice itself, balancing traffic across our content delivery edge nodes, and protecting against automated abuse such as spam form submissions or scraping.
The principal strictly necessary cookies set by Betting on Baseball Tips store the cookie banner state for one year, and a session-only token used by the content delivery network for routing and basic anti-abuse purposes.
Analytics cookies
Analytics cookies measure how readers move through the site at the aggregate level — which articles are read, how long readers spend on a page, which referring sources bring readers in, which device categories the audience uses. They allow the editorial desk to understand which coverage actually serves the readership and which falls flat.
Analytics cookies are set only with your consent. The cookie banner shown on your first visit lets you accept or reject them, and the same controls remain available afterwards through the link described later in this policy. The data collected by analytics is aggregated and does not, on its own, identify any individual reader.
Preferences cookies
Preferences cookies remember non-essential reader choices that improve the experience without being required for the site to function — for example, a chosen reading size or a preference for system-default theme behaviour. They are set only with your consent and are limited to settings the reader has chosen explicitly.
Third-party cookies
We do not embed third-party advertising or marketing cookies. The site does not use Facebook Pixel, Google Ads conversion tags, TikTok pixels, LinkedIn Insight tags or comparable products. The only third-party cookies that may run, with your consent, are those associated with the analytics provider listed in the inventory below. That provider acts as a data processor on our behalf, under a written processing agreement.
Where any third-party processor stores or processes cookie-derived data outside the United Kingdom, we rely on the safeguards described in the Privacy Policy at /privacy-policy/ — adequacy decisions issued by the UK Government, the International Data Transfer Agreement, or the UK Addendum to the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses, depending on the destination.
Retention
Strictly necessary consent-state cookies persist for up to twelve months. CDN-routing tokens last for the duration of your browser session. Analytics cookies, where consented, persist between thirteen and twenty-six months depending on the specific identifier. Preferences cookies persist until you clear them or until they reach their declared expiry, typically twelve months. You can clear all cookies in your browser at any time using your browser’s privacy controls.
How to manage your cookies
You can manage cookies on Betting on Baseball Tips in three ways.
The cookie banner. The first time you visit the site you are presented with a cookie banner with three options: accept all, reject all non-essential cookies, or customise your choices by category. Your decision is recorded in a strictly necessary cookie. You can reopen the banner at any time using the “Cookie settings” link in the site footer.
Your browser. Every modern browser allows you to inspect, block or clear cookies set by individual websites. The exact steps differ between browsers, but the controls are typically found under “Privacy”, “Site settings” or “Cookies and site data” in the browser’s preferences. Blocking strictly necessary cookies will affect the operation of the site. Blocking analytics or preferences cookies will not affect editorial content.
Do Not Track. The site honours a Do Not Track signal sent by your browser as a refusal of consent for analytics and preferences cookies, provided the signal is unambiguous.
Withdrawing consent
You can withdraw consent for analytics and preferences cookies at any time. Withdrawal takes effect from the moment it is recorded; processing carried out before withdrawal remains lawful, but no further data is collected through those cookies on your device.
Children
The site is written for adult readers in the United Kingdom and does not knowingly target or collect cookie-derived data from children under thirteen. If you believe a child has interacted with the site, please contact the editorial desk through the route described in the Privacy Policy and we will take appropriate steps.
How to complain
The Information Commissioner’s Office is the United Kingdom regulator for cookie practices and broader data protection matters. If you are not satisfied with how the site handles your cookie choices, you can lodge a complaint through ico.org.uk or through the ICO’s public helpline. We would always prefer to resolve a concern directly first, but the ICO route is open to you at any time.
Changes to this policy
We update this cookie policy whenever the inventory of cookies on the site materially changes, when our analytics or preference processing changes, or when UK law or guidance shifts in a way that affects what we must disclose. The current version is dated 10 August 2026 and supersedes any earlier version.

For cookie-specific enquiries, please use the contact route described in the Privacy Policy at /privacy-policy/ or the editorial mailbox referenced on the About Us page at /about-us/.
