Use of Cookies
Good-Sport
A Cookie may be used by Good-Sport website to store the settings required to calculate your bets, according to your betting preferences, and bookmaker’s rules. This cookie is only generated after changing settings for the first time, so it isn’t present if you have only ever used the default settings.

Google Analytics
The Google Analytics service is being utilized to collect and analyze website traffic data, on behalf of Good-Sport. The reports generated by Google Analytics, don’t just provide the headline figures, such as how many people visit the website each day, they regularly provide statistics that directly influence decisions concerning the development of the Good-Sport website.
For example, the statistics indicate that there are no longer enough visitors using Internet Explorer 7, to justify the significant additional effort required to support this particular browser, so the latest version of Good-Sport only supports newer versions. Conversely, the reports suggest that the Old Bet Calculators still have a dedicated following, and will, therefore, continue to be supported indefinitely.
To help deliver this service, Google Analytics uses cookies to store non-personally identifiable information. Please refer to the Data Privacy and Security
section of Google Analytics Help if you wish to know, amongst other things, how Google safeguards your data, and what privacy controls are available.

Use of Log Files
Web Server Log Files
The web server that hosts the Good-Sport automatically logs certain information about every visit to the website. This is a common feature of web hosting environments, with the data often aggregated to provide website statistics. The logged data is technical, rather than personal, and includes your IP address, the time of your visit, the page that you visited, the type of browser you are using, an indication of the success or failure of each browser request, plus details concerning the number of bytes transferred, and the time taken to process each request.
Since Google Analytics already provides a better system for analyzing website statistics, the statistics derived from log file data are seldom used, other than to monitor the incidence of failed web server requests, that can sometimes highlight potential issues that require further investigation.
