Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how this website uses them, what information they collect, how that information is used, and the choices available to you regarding cookie preferences.

// What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, smartphone, or tablet when you visit a website. They are created by the website’s server and stored in your browser. When you return to the same website, or navigate between pages within it, the browser sends the stored cookie back to the server, allowing the website to recognise you and maintain continuity across your visit.

Cookies perform a wide range of functions – from keeping you logged in to a service, to remembering your language preference, to counting how many people visit a given page. They are not programs and cannot execute code on your device. They cannot access files stored elsewhere on your device and cannot spread malware or viruses.

Cookies differ along two primary dimensions: who sets them (first-party or third-party) and how long they persist (session or persistent). These distinctions are explained in detail below.

// Why This Website Uses Cookies

This website uses cookies for the following purposes:

To ensure the technical functioning of the site – some cookies are essential for pages to load and display correctly.
To understand how visitors interact with content – which pages are visited, for how long, and in what sequence – so that we can improve the quality and usefulness of what we publish.
To remember basic preferences, such as whether you have accepted the cookie notice, so that you are not shown the same prompt on every visit.
To track affiliate referrals – when you click a link to a third-party casino platform, a cookie may be set to confirm that the referral originated from this website for commission purposes.

This website does not use cookies for advertising profiling or retargeting. We do not build advertising segments based on visitor behaviour, and we do not participate in cross-site tracking for advertising purposes beyond what is described in the affiliate tracking section below.

// Types of Cookies Used on This Website

3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

Strictly necessary cookies are required for the website to function correctly. Without them, the site would not load as intended and basic navigation would be disrupted. Because they are essential to the service you have requested by visiting the site, strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent under applicable ePrivacy regulations.

These are first-party cookies – set directly by this website – and they do not track you across other websites. In most cases they are deleted when you close your browser.

Session cookies that maintain continuity as you navigate between pages.
Security tokens that prevent cross-site request forgery (CSRF attacks).
Load-balancing identifiers for consistent server delivery.
Cookies that store your cookie consent decision to avoid repeated prompts.

3.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies

Performance cookies collect information about how visitors use this website – which pages receive the most visits, where traffic originates, how long visitors stay, and what content generates the most engagement. This data is aggregated and anonymised; it does not identify individual visitors.

This website uses Google Analytics, a service provided by Google LLC, for performance analytics. Google Analytics sets cookies on your device to collect usage data. Where IP anonymisation is technically supported, we enable it to prevent the storage of complete IP addresses. Google Analytics data is processed in accordance with Google’s privacy policy.

Performance cookies are non-essential and will only be activated following your consent where a consent mechanism is deployed on this website.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow the website to remember choices you make in order to provide a more personalised experience. They are different from strictly necessary cookies in that they are not required for the site to function, but they do improve usability.

Cookies that store your language or regional preference, if applicable.
Cookies that record whether you have previously dismissed an informational banner.
Cookies set by embedded content providers, such as a video player, that allow the player to remember your settings.

3.4 Targeting and Affiliate Tracking Cookies

This website does not operate its own advertising network and does not serve targeted advertisements. However, affiliate tracking mechanisms are used in connection with links to third-party casino platforms.

When you click an affiliate link, a cookie or tracking parameter may be set that records the referral. This mechanism is used solely to confirm, for commission purposes, that a visit to the destination platform originated from this website. Affiliate tracking cookies typically persist for 30 to 90 days depending on the affiliate programme, and they record only that a click occurred – not any personal information about you.

When you arrive at a third-party casino platform, that platform may set its own targeting cookies in accordance with its own privacy and cookie policies. This website has no control over those cookies.

// First-Party and Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set by the domain of the website you are currently visiting – in this case, this website. They can only be read by this website and are not accessible by other sites you visit.

Third-party cookies are set by a domain other than this website – typically analytics providers, content delivery platforms, or affiliate tracking services. Third-party cookies may potentially be read across multiple websites and are governed by the privacy and cookie policies of the organisations that set them.

// Session Cookies and Persistent Cookies

Session cookies are temporary. They are stored in your browser’s memory during a visit and are automatically deleted when you close the browser. They maintain continuity and functionality within a single visit.

Persistent cookies remain on your device after your browser session ends. They are retained until a specified expiry date or until you delete them manually. They are used for purposes requiring recognition across multiple visits – such as remembering your consent preference or maintaining affiliate tracking during the referral window.

// Specific Cookies This Website May Use

// How to Manage and Disable Cookies

8.1 Browser-Level Controls

Opera: Settings > Privacy & security > Cookies – https://help.opera.com/en/latest/web-preferences/

Disabling or blocking cookies may affect the functionality of this website and other sites you visit. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled without preventing the site from functioning.

8.2 Opt-Out from Google Analytics

To prevent Google Analytics from collecting data about your visits to any website using the service, install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

8.3 Industry Opt-Out Tools

Several industry bodies operate opt-out mechanisms for interest-based tracking:

Your Online Choices (EU): https://www.youronlinechoices.com
NAI Opt-Out Tool (US): https://optout.networkadvertising.org
DAA Opt-Out (US): https://optout.aboutads.info

8.4 Do Not Track

Some browsers include a ‘Do Not Track’ (DNT) setting that signals to websites that you prefer not to be tracked. There is currently no universally agreed standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. This website acknowledges DNT signals but cannot guarantee that all third-party services will honour them.

// Impact of Disabling Cookies

If you disable all cookies, the following effects may occur when using this website:

Cookie consent preferences may not be saved, meaning the consent banner may appear on every page you visit.
Some embedded content may not load correctly.
Analytics data about your visit will not be collected.
Affiliate tracking will not function – if you click a casino link and subsequently register, the referral may not be recorded.

None of the above effects will prevent you from reading the content on this website. Core informational pages are fully accessible without cookies.

// Cookies and Sensitive Data

None of the cookies used by this website store sensitive personal information such as financial data, health information, government identification numbers, or full IP addresses. Analytics and tracking cookies operate at a pseudonymous or anonymous level – a unique identifier is assigned to a browser, not to a named individual.

Affiliate tracking cookies record the fact that a click occurred from this domain to a destination platform. They do not record information about what you do on the destination platform and do not contain any personal data about you. The destination platform’s own cookie policy governs what it collects independently.

// Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may revise this Cookie Policy from time to time. Reasons include the introduction of new cookies or services, changes to applicable law, or improvements to how we describe existing practices. The ‘Last updated’ date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. We recommend reviewing this policy periodically.
