Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how cookies and related storage technologies are used when you visit this UK-focused editorial casino comparison website. It should be read together with the Privacy Policy, where you can find broader information about personal data handling, legal bases, retention, and user rights.
1. What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files stored by your browser on your device. They help websites remember preferences, keep services stable, and measure technical performance. Some cookies are deleted when you close the browser session, while others remain for a set duration to remember settings between visits. Similar technologies can include local storage entries and small identifiers that support feature continuity across page loads.
2. Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies to maintain core functionality and improve usability. For example, we store whether you accepted or declined cookies and whether you passed the age confirmation prompt. Without that storage, you would see the same prompts repeatedly. We may also use optional measurement technologies to understand which pages are most useful, where users leave a flow, and what technical issues appear on specific device types. This helps us refine the editorial experience.
3. Cookie Categories on This Website
We group cookies into practical categories:
- Strictly necessary: required for basic operation, security, and consent memory.
- Preference: used to remember user choices that improve convenience.
- Measurement: used to evaluate traffic patterns, content engagement, and performance trends where consent is required.
- Referral tracking: link parameters and related identifiers that help attribute outbound visits to third-party operators for reporting and commission reconciliation.
4. Third-Party Technologies
Some cookies or tracking identifiers may be set by third-party services involved in analytics, security, hosting, or affiliate reporting. Once you leave this website through an outbound operator link, that operator can place its own cookies under its own policy and legal basis. We do not control third-party cookie lifecycles outside our domain context. You should review external privacy and cookie documents before account registration or marketing consent on those services.
5. Consent and Control
Where required by law, non-essential cookies are used only after valid consent. You can accept or decline through the cookie banner shown at the bottom of the page. Your choice is recorded in browser storage and can be changed later by clearing storage or adjusting browser settings. Declining optional cookies does not block access to core editorial pages, though some convenience or measurement features may be limited.
6. Managing Cookies in Your Browser
Modern browsers let you block all cookies, block third-party cookies, or delete existing cookies. Many also let you set site-by-site exceptions. Steps vary by browser and device, but controls are usually found under privacy, security, or site settings. If you block all cookies, key website functions may stop working correctly, including remembered consent preferences and age-gate status. For best control, users often keep essential cookies and disable optional categories.
7. Retention and Expiry
Cookie lifetimes differ by purpose. Session-level entries can expire when the browser closes, while preference or consent entries may remain for a longer period to avoid repetitive prompts. Retention windows are reviewed during policy maintenance and adjusted when feature requirements change. We aim to keep durations proportionate to purpose and to avoid storing more than is required for functionality and compliance.
8. Policy Updates
We may update this policy when we introduce new technologies, alter consent logic, modify service providers, or respond to legal developments. Updated text is published on this page. If changes materially affect user choice, we may present additional notice through the website interface. Continued use of the website after updates indicates acceptance of the revised policy terms where legally permitted.
