Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar tracking technologies are, how this website uses them, and the choices available to you regarding their use. It should be read alongside the Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions, both of which are available on this site.

By continuing to use this site after being presented with a cookie consent notice, you consent to the use of cookies in accordance with this policy. You may withdraw or adjust your consent at any time through your browser settings or the cookie management options described below.

// What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device – computer, smartphone, or tablet – by a website when you visit it. They are stored by your browser and sent back to the website on subsequent visits. Cookies allow websites to recognise returning visitors, remember preferences, and collect information about how the site is used.

Cookies vary in how long they persist on your device. Session cookies are temporary – they exist only while your browser is open and are deleted when you close it. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period of time, or until you manually delete them.

Cookies can also be classified by origin. First-party cookies are set directly by the website you are visiting. Third-party cookies are set by external services embedded in the site – such as analytics platforms or advertising networks – and may track your activity across multiple websites.

In addition to cookies, this site may use related tracking technologies including web beacons (tiny transparent images that track page visits), local storage (browser-side data persistence), and URL parameters (tracking information embedded in link addresses). Where this policy refers to cookies, it encompasses these related technologies unless otherwise stated.

// Why This Site Uses Cookies

This site uses cookies for four main purposes: to ensure the site functions correctly, to understand how visitors interact with content, to support affiliate referral tracking, and where applicable, to serve relevant advertising. Each category is described in detail in Section 3 below.

We do not use cookies to collect sensitive personal information such as financial data, government identification, or health records. We do not use cookies to track users in ways that produce legally significant automated decisions about individuals.

Cookies that are not strictly necessary for the site to function are only placed on your device with your consent. You may withdraw consent at any time by adjusting your browser settings or using the cookie preference tools described in this policy.

// Categories of Cookies We Use

3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function. They cannot be disabled without causing the site to malfunction. Strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent under applicable law.

Examples of what strictly necessary cookies do on this site:

  • Maintain your session while you navigate between pages
  • Store your cookie consent preferences so the consent notice is not repeatedly displayed
  • Support security functions that protect the site from automated abuse
  • Enable core page functionality including navigation and content loading
Cookie / Identifier Category Purpose Typical Duration
cookie_consent Necessary Records your cookie consent preference 12 months
session_id Necessary Maintains your browsing session Session (deleted on browser close)
csrf_token Necessary Security token to prevent cross-site request forgery Session

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with this site. They collect information about which pages are visited, how long visitors spend on them, how they arrived at the site, and where they encounter technical issues. This information is used in aggregate to improve the site’s content and performance.

Analytics cookies used on this site include those set by Google Analytics, a service operated by Google LLC. Google Analytics processes data in accordance with its own terms and privacy policy. Data processed by Google Analytics may be stored on servers located outside the European Economic Area.

  • Google Analytics uses cookies including _ga (persistent, 2 years), _ga_[ID] (persistent, 2 years), and _gid (persistent, 24 hours)
  • Analytics data collected is used in aggregate only – it does not identify individual visitors
  • IP addresses collected by Google Analytics may be anonymised where this option is enabled
  • You may opt out of Google Analytics across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on, available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
Cookie / Identifier Category Purpose Typical Duration
_ga Analytics Distinguishes unique users for Google Analytics 2 years
_ga_[ID] Analytics Maintains session state for Google Analytics 4 2 years
_gid Analytics Distinguishes users within a 24-hour period 24 hours

 

3.3 Affiliate Tracking Cookies

When you follow a referral link from this site to a casino platform, affiliate tracking cookies or URL parameters are used to record the referral. This allows the destination platform to identify that the visit originated from this site and to calculate any applicable commission payment.

Affiliate tracking cookies collect limited information: the click event, a unique referral identifier, and the subsequent action taken on the destination platform (such as registration or deposit). They do not collect financial information, passwords, or other sensitive personal data.

  • Affiliate tracking is typically implemented through first-party cookies on this site combined with tracking parameters passed to the destination URL
  • The destination casino platform may set its own cookies when you arrive – these are governed by that platform’s own cookie policy
  • Affiliate tracking cookies typically persist for 30 to 90 days following the initial referral click
  • Disabling third-party cookies in your browser may prevent affiliate tracking without affecting your ability to access this site’s content
Cookie / Identifier Category Purpose Typical Duration
aff_ref Affiliate Tracking Records affiliate referral source for commission verification 30–90 days
click_id Affiliate Tracking Unique identifier for the referral click event 30 days

3.4 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies enable enhanced features and personalisation on the site. They may remember your preferences – such as language settings or display options – so that you do not need to set them again on each visit. These cookies are not strictly necessary but improve the usability of the site.

Cookie / Identifier Category Purpose Typical Duration
lang_pref Functional Remembers your preferred language setting 12 months
display_mode Functional Remembers any display preference you have set 6 months

// Third-Party Cookies

In addition to cookies set directly by this site, certain third-party services embedded in or linked from this site may place their own cookies on your device. This site does not control the behaviour of third-party cookies and is not responsible for the data collected by them.

Third-party services that may set cookies when you visit this site include:

  • Google Analytics – web analytics service operated by Google LLC. Privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy
  • Casino platform affiliate networks – tracking networks associated with the casino platforms recommended on this site. Cookie practices vary by platform.
  • Content delivery networks (CDNs) – services used to serve static resources such as images and scripts. These may set technical cookies for performance optimisation.

Where we are aware of specific third-party cookies set through this site, they are listed in Section 3 above. However, the behaviour of third-party services may change without notice to us. We recommend reviewing the cookie and privacy policies of any third-party service you interact with.

This site does not exercise editorial or technical control over the data collected by third-party cookies. Users who have concerns about a specific third-party service should consult that service’s own privacy and cookie documentation and may contact the service provider directly to exercise any applicable rights. Rights relating to data processed by this site – as data controller – should be directed to us through the Contact Us page.

// Managing and Withdrawing Cookie Consent

6.1 Through Your Browser

All modern browsers allow you to view, manage, and delete cookies through their settings menus. You can configure your browser to:

  • Block all cookies from all websites
  • Block third-party cookies only (which prevents tracking across sites while allowing first-party cookies)
  • Alert you each time a cookie is placed, giving you the option to accept or reject
  • Delete all existing cookies from your device

Browser-specific instructions for managing cookies can be found at the following resources:

  • Google Chrome: support.google.com/chrome/answer/95647
  • Mozilla Firefox: support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/enable-and-disable-cookies-website-preferences
  • Apple Safari: support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/safari/sfri11471/mac
  • Microsoft Edge: support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/manage-cookies-in-microsoft-edge
  • Opera: help.opera.com/en/latest/web-preferences/#cookies

Note that blocking cookies may affect the functionality of many websites beyond this one. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be blocked without impairing site functionality.

6.2 Opt-Out Tools

In addition to browser-level controls, certain industry-wide opt-out tools allow you to manage your preferences across multiple services simultaneously:

  • Your Online Choices (EU): youronlinechoices.eu – allows you to opt out of interest-based advertising from participating networks
  • Network Advertising Initiative (US): optout.networkadvertising.org – opt-out tool for participating US advertising networks
  • Google Analytics Opt-Out Extension: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout – prevents Google Analytics from collecting data about your visits

These tools operate at the browser level and must be configured on each browser and device you use. Clearing cookies may reset opt-out preferences – reinstall any opt-out cookies or extensions after clearing your browser data.

6.3 Withdrawing Consent on This Site

If you have previously consented to non-essential cookies and wish to withdraw that consent, you may do so by clearing the cookies in your browser and refreshing the page. This will cause the consent banner to reappear, allowing you to make a fresh selection.

// Cookie Retention Periods

The retention period for cookies varies by type and purpose. The following general principles apply:

  • Session cookies: deleted automatically when you close your browser
  • Consent record cookies: retained for 12 months, after which consent will be requested again
  • Analytics cookies: typically 24 hours to 2 years depending on the specific cookie
  • Affiliate tracking cookies: 30 to 90 days following the referral click
  • Functional preference cookies: 6 to 12 months

The retention periods listed above reflect current practice. Third-party services may update their own retention periods independently, in which case the duration described in their own policies takes precedence.

7a. The Effect of Disabling Cookies

The consequences of blocking cookies vary depending on which category is affected:

  • Strictly necessary cookies: Blocking these will prevent the site from functioning as intended. Session continuity, security features, and the retention of your consent preference will be impaired.
  • Analytics cookies: Blocking these has no impact on the content available to you. It prevents this site from receiving aggregated usage statistics about your visit – which may result in slower identification of content or performance issues.
  • Affiliate tracking cookies: Blocking these means that visits to casino platforms via referral links on this site may not be attributed to this site. This has no effect on your experience at the destination platform or the availability of any offer – only on this site’s ability to receive commission for the referral.
  • Functional cookies: Blocking these means that preferences such as language or display settings will not be retained between visits.

For most users, a practical approach is to block third-party cookies while allowing first-party cookies. This prevents cross-site tracking while preserving core site functionality and session continuity. Browser-level controls for implementing this approach are described in Section 6.1 above.

7b. Do Not Track (DNT) Signals

Some browsers can be configured to send a Do Not Track (DNT) signal to websites, indicating a preference not to be tracked. There is currently no legally binding standard governing how websites must respond to DNT signals, and practices vary across the industry.

This site acknowledges DNT signals as an expression of user preference. However, because DNT lacks a universally agreed technical standard, this site cannot guarantee that all third-party services embedded in or linked from this site – including analytics and affiliate tracking platforms – will honour DNT signals. For the most reliable control over tracking, we recommend using the browser-level cookie management tools and industry opt-out platforms described in Section 6.

// Cookies and Children

This site’s content relates to gambling and is directed exclusively at adults. We do not knowingly allow children to use this site and do not intentionally set cookies on the devices of individuals under the age of 18. If a parent or guardian believes that a minor has accessed this site and had cookies placed on their device, they may clear those cookies through the browser’s cookie management tools and should contact us through the Contact Us page.

8a. Cookies Placed by Linked Websites

When you follow a link from this site to a third-party website – including casino platforms, game developer pages, and responsible gambling support sites – that destination site may place its own cookies on your device. This occurs independently of the cookies described in this policy and is entirely governed by the destination site’s own cookie and privacy policies.

This site has no visibility into, control over, or responsibility for the cookies placed by any external website you visit as a result of following a link from this site. We encourage users to review the cookie notice and privacy documentation of any external site before consenting to cookies on that site, particularly where the site will collect personal or financial information.

Links to responsible gambling support organisations – such as GamCare, BeGambleAware, and national helplines – are provided on this site’s Responsible Gambling page. These are independently operated services with their own data practices. Any personal information you share with them is subject to their own privacy and confidentiality policies, which typically emphasise strict confidentiality.

// Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, the services we rely on, or applicable law. The date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was most recently revised.

Where changes are material – such as the introduction of a new category of cookies or a new third-party service – we will notify users through the cookie consent mechanism or a notice on the site. Continued use of the site following the publication of a revised policy and after re-encountering the consent mechanism constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
