Privacy Policy — How This Site Handles Your Data
This Privacy Policy describes what information HowToBetOnHorseRacing.com collects from visitors, how that information is used, and the choices available to you. For context on who runs this site, see the About This Site and Its Author — Garrett Mulvaney page. The guides published here — including the complete US beginner's guide to betting on horse racing — are informational only and do not constitute financial or legal advice.
What Information Is Collected?
This site collects standard server log data automatically: IP address, browser type, referring URL, pages viewed, and timestamps. If the site uses analytics software (such as Google Analytics), aggregate traffic data is collected under that provider's own terms. No personally identifiable information is required to read any page on this site.
If contact forms or email sign-up features are present, any name or email address you voluntarily submit is used only to respond to your inquiry or deliver the content you requested. It is not sold or shared with third-party marketers.
Cookies
This site may place first-party cookies to remember display preferences. Third-party services embedded on the site (analytics, affiliate tracking links to licensed ADW platforms such as those reviewed on the best US horse racing ADW platforms page) may set their own cookies subject to their privacy policies. You can disable cookies in your browser settings; doing so will not prevent you from reading any content here.
Third-Party Links
Pages on this site link to external operators and regulators — for example, the TVG FanDuel Racing review and the TwinSpires review contain links to those platforms. This site has no control over the privacy practices of external sites. The IRS Topic 419 guidance on gambling income and the National Council on Problem Gambling are linked for informational purposes; their own privacy policies govern data collected on those domains.
Affiliate Relationships
Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you click through and open an account with a licensed ADW platform, this site may earn a referral commission at no additional cost to you. Affiliate relationships do not influence editorial coverage. Ratings and comparisons — such as the TVG vs TwinSpires head-to-head comparison — are based on publicly available information and editorial judgment.
