Our Identity and Purpose
CBR operates as the official website entity, and our primary web address serves as the central hub for our operations. CBR functions as a comprehensive digital resource dedicated to horse racing excellence. Our platform provides detailed reviews of racecourses throughout the United Kingdom and Ireland, covers major racing events, evaluates betting platforms, and publishes articles that connect readers to the vibrant world of racing both domestically and internationally.
Personal Information Collection and Processing
User Commentary System
CBR currently maintains a disabled commenting system across our website platform. Should we activate this feature in future, our data collection procedures would encompass information displayed within comment submission forms. Our security protocols would capture visitor IP addresses alongside browser user agent strings to enhance our spam prevention capabilities.
Our system would generate an anonymised string derived from submitted email addresses, creating a unique hash identifier for potential Gravatar service integration. The Gravatar service maintains its own privacy protocols, which users can access through their official documentation. Upon comment approval, user profile images would become publicly visible within the contextual framework of their submitted commentary. We emphasise that this functionality remains inactive as of our current operational status.
Digital Media Management
Users who upload visual content to our platform should exercise caution regarding embedded location metadata within their image files. CBR cannot prevent website visitors from downloading and extracting geographical positioning data from publicly accessible images displayed across our platform.
Communication Channels
CBR currently operates without integrated contact form functionality across our website infrastructure.
Commentary-Related Cookies
Should users submit comments on our platform, they may choose to store their personal details including name, email address, and website information through cookie technology. This convenience feature eliminates repetitive data entry requirements for subsequent comment submissions. These particular cookies maintain functionality for a twelve-month duration.
Authentication Cookies
Our login page implementation establishes temporary cookies to assess browser cookie acceptance capabilities. These authentication cookies contain no personal identification data and undergo automatic deletion upon browser closure.
Successful login procedures trigger multiple cookie installations to preserve login credentials and display preference selections. Authentication cookies maintain activity for forty-eight hours, whilst display option cookies remain functional for one year. Users who select persistent login options extend their session duration to fourteen days. Account logout procedures automatically remove all associated login cookies from user systems.
Content Management Cookies
Article editing or publishing activities generate additional browser cookies containing no personal information. These cookies simply record the specific post identification number of recently modified content. Cookie expiration occurs after twenty-four hours of initial creation.
Third-Party Content Integration
CBR articles may feature embedded multimedia content including videos, images, and articles sourced from external websites. Embedded third-party content operates identically to direct visits to originating websites.
External platforms may implement their own data collection procedures, cookie deployment, additional tracking mechanisms, and interaction monitoring systems. These monitoring capabilities extend to users possessing accounts and active login status on respective third-party platforms. CBR assumes no responsibility for external website content or subsequent user actions taken on third-party platforms.
Performance Analytics
CBR employs standard Google Analytics implementation to assess website performance metrics and support internal operational analysis requirements.
Data Sharing Protocols
CBR maintains strict data protection standards and shares no collected information with external parties. Our operational model involves minimal data retention across all platform functions.
Information Retention Periods
Comment submissions, including associated metadata, undergo indefinite retention within our systems. This approach enables automatic recognition and approval of subsequent comments from established users, eliminating moderation queue delays.
Registered users benefit from comprehensive personal information storage within their individual profiles. All registered users maintain full access to view, modify, or delete their stored personal details, excluding username modification capabilities. Website administrators possess equivalent viewing and editing permissions for user information management.
Data Transmission Procedures
CBR may process visitor comments through automated spam detection services to maintain platform quality and security standards.
Contact Information Management
CBR currently operates without customer data storage requirements. Our platform functions as an informational resource that directs visitors toward relevant external websites and services.
Security and Protection Measures
Information Protection Protocols
CBR’s operational model eliminates the need for extensive data storage, thereby minimising security risks associated with personal information retention.
External Data Sources
CBR maintains independence from third-party data acquisition, ensuring complete control over information handling procedures across all operational aspects.
