Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how RunLine Lab — operating through the domain mlb Online Betting — uses cookies and similar technologies on the site. It should be read alongside the Privacy Policy, which describes how personal data is handled more broadly. The policy is written in line with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR).
Effective date
This Cookie Policy is effective from 10 June 2026. We may revise the policy when the cookies used on the site change or when guidance from the Information Commissioner’s Office is updated in a way that affects the policy. The current version is always published at this canonical URL through mlb Online Betting.
What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your device by a website you visit. Cookies are widely used to make websites function correctly, to remember preferences between visits, and to collect aggregated information about how a site is used. Similar technologies — including local storage, session storage, pixel tags, and equivalent browser-side storage mechanisms — can serve the same purposes. This policy uses the term “cookies” to refer to all such technologies for brevity.
Cookies are categorised in this policy according to their purpose rather than according to whether they are set directly by the site or by a service used by the site. Where a cookie is set by a third-party service operating on our behalf, the responsibility for the cookie remains with us as the publisher.
Strictly necessary cookies
Strictly necessary cookies are those required for the basic operation of the site. They include cookies that record your cookie-preference choices so that the consent banner does not reappear on every page load, and cookies that may be used by hosting infrastructure to balance load between servers or to mitigate denial-of-service attacks.
Strictly necessary cookies are set without consent because they are needed to deliver a service you have actively requested — namely, the service of loading and displaying the page. The lawful basis is the strict-necessity exception in PECR. You can still refuse all cookies by configuring your browser to do so, but the site may not function as intended if you do.
Analytics cookies
If the site uses an analytics tool, the tool may set cookies that record aggregated information about how the site is used. The information typically includes the pages viewed in a session, the approximate session duration, the country derived from your IP address, and the broad device category. The site configures any analytics tool in use to minimise identifying information about individual visitors wherever practical, including by anonymising IP addresses where the tool supports it.
Analytics cookies are set only with your consent. If you decline analytics on the cookie banner, or withdraw consent later, no analytics cookies are set and any existing analytics cookie is no longer relied on. The lawful basis is your consent under PECR Regulation 6 and Article 6(1)(a) UK GDPR.
Functional cookies
Functional cookies remember preferences you have set on the site. For an editorial site without account features, the functional category is typically limited to remembering your cookie-preference choice and, where applicable, a preferred reading view such as a font-size setting. Functional cookies are set only with your consent, with the exception of the cookie that records your consent itself, which falls under the strictly necessary category.
Cookies we do not use
The site does not use cookies for behavioural advertising, audience profiling for marketing, cross-site tracking, or fingerprinting. The site does not run an advertising network, does not sell space on the page to third-party advertisers, and does not embed advertising trackers. The site does not use cookies to follow you across other websites.
If the site embeds content from a third-party platform — for example, an authoritative regulator video — that platform may set its own cookies on your device when you choose to play the embedded content. Such cookies are subject to the third party’s own cookie policy, which you should review before activating the embedded content.
How to manage cookies
You can manage cookies in several ways. The simplest is to use the cookie banner that appears on your first visit. The banner offers you the options to accept all categories, to reject all non-essential categories, or to choose categories individually. Your choice is recorded for a reasonable period after which the banner will reappear to give you the opportunity to confirm or change your selection.
You can also manage cookies directly through your browser. Every modern browser allows you to view the cookies stored on your device, delete individual cookies, delete all cookies, and refuse new cookies either entirely or selectively by site. The exact steps differ by browser; the help pages of your browser publisher contain current instructions.
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by clearing the cookie that records your preference and reloading the site, which will cause the banner to reappear. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.
Retention periods
Cookies set by the site have defined lifetimes. Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period — typically no longer than is needed for the purpose. The cookie that records your consent choice has a lifetime sufficient to remember the choice for a reasonable period without becoming a tracking mechanism in its own right. Analytics cookies have shorter lifetimes appropriate to their purpose and do not exceed the retention periods set out in the Privacy Policy.
Children
The site is intended for adult readers in the United Kingdom who are eighteen or over. We do not knowingly process personal data from children, including through cookies, and we apply the same eighteen-plus principle to the cookie consent flow. If you believe a child has interacted with the site, contact us through the address on mlb Online Betting and we will remove the relevant data.
Updates to this policy
This Cookie Policy is reviewed when the cookies used on the site change, when new categories of cookie are introduced, and when the Information Commissioner’s Office issues guidance that affects the policy. The current version of the policy is dated 10 June 2026 and is available at this canonical URL through mlb Online Betting. Material changes will be reflected in a refreshed effective date at the top of this page.

If you have questions about this Cookie Policy, or about how we use cookies on the site, contact the editorial team through the address published on mlb Online Betting. Complaints about cookie-related processing can be raised with the Information Commissioner’s Office, the UK supervisory authority for data protection and electronic communications, through its official site.
