Cookie Policy


This Cookie Policy explains how Competition Info uses cookies we collect and how you can limit our use of that data.


WHAT ARE ‘COOKIES'?
Cookies are small files, typically of letters and numbers, downloaded on to a device when the user accesses certain websites. Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognise a user's device.
Like many websites, we use cookies and similar technologies to collect additional website usage data and to operate our services. Cookies are not required for many parts of our services such as searching for competitions. Although most web browsers automatically accept cookies, many browsers’ settings can be set to decline cookies or alert you when a website is attempting to place a cookie on your computer. However, some of our services may not function properly if you disable cookies. When your browser or device allows it, we use both session cookies and persistent cookies to better understand how you interact with our services, and to personalize and otherwise operate our services such as by providing account security and personalizing the content we show you.
