Cookies are small bits of text and numbers that are downloaded onto the devices you use to receive Sky Games content, products and services and access online information.

Cookies play an important part in the day-to-day functioning of websites and other online content. Cookies help your device or browser to access information (for example, the selections you have placed in your bet slip), identify you as a user (for example, so we can keep you logged into your account when you navigate around the websites) or use certain features (for example, you want to reset your PIN or User ID) when you use the Sky Betting and Gaming websites. We also sometimes use other cookies to help prevent fraud (for example, by detecting multiple fraudulent transactions from the same computer) or to enhance your experience (for example, by showing more relevant price boosts based on your previous activity).

Analytical. Some of these cookies are set by third parties such as Omniture, and Google.
Analytical cookies gather information about which of our websites, information and links are popular and which ones don't get used as much. Our applications, web locations, websites and communications that you get from us also contain small invisible images known as 'web beacons' or 'pixels'. These ‘pixels’ simply let us know that an advert or affiliate partner has successfully connected a customer to SB&G. For example, when a new customer successfully registers on a SB&G website after clicking an advert, a “pixel” will let us know that the advert worked or that we need to pay an affiliate partner for sending a new customer to us. These pixels cannot identify an individual user.
Your information is collected and grouped together with information collected from everyone else’s devices. We can then see overall patterns of usage, rather than any one person’s activity.
