This cookie policy explains what cookies are, how this website uses them, and how you can control your cookie preferences. We use cookies in compliance with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) and the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR).
What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, phone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function correctly, improve performance, remember preferences, and collect information about how visitors interact with the site. Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (first-party cookies) or by third-party services embedded in the page (third-party cookies).
Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser (session cookies). Others remain on your device for a set period or until you manually delete them (persistent cookies).
How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for the following purposes, grouped by category:
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the basic functioning of the website. They enable core features such as page navigation, security, and your cookie consent preferences. Without these cookies, the site cannot function properly. These cookies do not collect information that identifies you personally and do not require your consent under PECR.
- Cookie consent: stores your cookie preferences so that the consent banner does not reappear on every page visit. Typically expires after 12 months.
- Security: helps protect against cross-site request forgery and other common web threats. Session-based, deleted when you close your browser.
Analytics Cookies
These cookies collect information about how visitors use the website, such as which pages are visited most often, how long visitors spend on each page, and whether visitors encounter error messages. The information is aggregated and used to improve the site. Analytics cookies are placed only with your consent.
- Traffic measurement: records page views, session duration, bounce rate, and traffic sources. Data is processed in aggregated form. Persistent cookies typically expire after 12 to 24 months.
- Interaction tracking: records clicks on links, scroll depth, and navigation patterns within the site. Used to understand which content is most useful and where layout or structure can be improved. Session-based or short-lived persistent cookies.
Advertising and Affiliate Cookies
These cookies are used to track referrals when you click through to a casino operator’s website. They allow the affiliate network to attribute your visit and any subsequent registration or deposit to this site. These cookies are placed only with your consent.
- Affiliate tracking: placed when you click an outbound link to a casino operator. Records a referral identifier so that the affiliate network can attribute the visit. Typically expires after 30 to 90 days, depending on the affiliate programme.
- Advertising performance: where used, these cookies measure the effectiveness of promotional campaigns and help prevent the same content from being shown to you repeatedly. Persistent cookies typically expire after 30 to 180 days.
Functional Cookies
These cookies remember choices you make on the site, such as display preferences or previously dismissed notifications. They improve your experience but are not essential for the site to function. These cookies are placed only with your consent.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on this site are set by third-party services rather than by us directly. These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies, which govern how they use the data collected. We do not control how third parties process cookie data once it leaves our site. The main categories of third-party cookies present on this site relate to analytics providers and affiliate tracking networks.
Managing Your Cookies
You have several options for controlling cookies:
Cookie Consent Tool
When you first visit this site, a cookie consent banner allows you to accept or reject non-essential cookies by category. You can change your preferences at any time by accessing the cookie settings, typically available via a link in the site footer or through the cookie consent banner if you clear your browser cookies.
Browser Settings
All major browsers allow you to view, manage, and delete cookies through their settings. You can block all cookies, block only third-party cookies, or set your browser to prompt you each time a cookie is offered. Instructions vary by browser:
- Google Chrome — manage cookies in Chrome settings.
- Mozilla Firefox — cookie controls in Firefox preferences.
- Safari — manage cookies in Safari privacy settings.
- Microsoft Edge — cookie management in Edge settings.
Be aware that blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of this website and other sites you visit. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled through the consent tool, as they are required for the site to function, but they can be blocked at the browser level.
Opting Out of Analytics
If you wish to opt out of analytics tracking specifically, you can do so through the cookie consent tool on this site. Additionally, many analytics providers offer browser extensions or opt-out mechanisms that prevent data collection across all websites you visit.
Data Collected Through Cookies
The data collected through cookies on this site may include your IP address, browser type, operating system, device identifiers, pages visited, timestamps, and referral sources. This data is processed as described in our Privacy Policy. Analytics data is aggregated before reporting, meaning individual visitors cannot be identified from the reports we use to improve the site.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this cookie policy to reflect changes in the cookies we use, changes in technology, or changes in applicable regulation. When we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, re-request your cookie consent.
