Our Privacy Policy: Your Data and Your Rights

Welcome to our corner of the boxing world, where we’re as serious about protecting your privacy as we are about breaking down heavyweight title odds. This policy outlines how TBRB collects, uses, and safeguards your personal information when you visit our site focused on UK boxing rankings, betting insights, and combat sports wagering.

What Information We Collect

We collect information to improve your experience and deliver our core service of fight analysis and betting market coverage. This data falls into two main categories, as detailed below.

When you browse our UK boxing rankings and articles, we automatically collect certain technical data, including:

  • Your IP address and general location (country/region level).
  • Your device type, browser, and operating system.
  • Pages you view, time spent, and how you arrived at our site.

How We Use Cookies and Tracking

Our site uses cookies and similar technologies to function properly, remember your preferences, and understand how our fight previews and betting guides are used.

Essential Cookies

These are necessary for the website to operate, such as managing your cookie consent preferences.

Analytics & Performance Cookies

We use tools like Google Analytics 4 to analyse site traffic and see which pieces, like our ‘boxing odds UK’ deep-dives, are most popular with UK fight fans.

Advertising Cookies

We work with advertising partners, including betting operators like Bet365 and William Hill, who may use cookies to serve you relevant ads based on your browsing interests across sites. These partners manage their own cookie policies.

Analytics and Site Performance

We measure our site’s performance to ensure we’re delivering the content you want in the best possible way.

Our Analytics Tools

Our primary tool for this is Google Analytics 4 (GA4). This helps us understand aggregate user behaviour without identifying individuals.

What We Analyse

We look at metrics such as:

  • Page views and engagement time on specific articles.
  • User journeys through our combat sports betting guides.
  • The effectiveness of our content marketing in reaching our audience.

Third-Party Services and Data Sharing

We integrate trusted third-party services to operate our site. These partners have their own privacy policies governing your data.

Email Marketing

We use services like Mailchimp to manage our newsletter subscriptions. When you sign up, your email address is shared with and stored by them.

Advertising Partners

We display advertisements via networks like Google AdSense. These networks use data to show you relevant ads. We do not share personal data directly with them; they collect it via cookies as you browse.

Social Media Widgets

Our site may include social media share buttons. Interacting with these may allow the social media company to collect data about you.
