Cookies and Advertising
This site uses Google AdSense to display advertising. As part of operating this ad service, Google and its partners may use cookies, web beacons, or similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites, and to measure ad performance.
Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to dartrankings.co.uk or other websites on the internet. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the internet.
You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor’s use of cookies for personalised advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info/choices.
For users in the UK and EEA, we obtain and manage consent for the use of non-essential cookies and personalised advertising through a consent management tool integrated with Google’s advertising services, in line with Google’s EU User Consent Policy. You can change your consent choices at any time using the cookie preferences link presented on the site, where available.

Analytics
We may use analytics services to understand how visitors use the site — for example, which pages are most popular and how users navigate between them. This data is aggregated and used to improve the site; it is not used to identify individual visitors.
Third-Party Data
Live rankings, player statistics and tournament data displayed on this site are sourced from third-party PDC data providers via our own API layer. No personal data about site visitors is shared with these providers.

Server log data is retained only as long as necessary for security, diagnostic and operational purposes. Cookie-based data retention is governed by the individual policies of the third-party vendors described above, principally Google.
