Cookie Policy
This cookie policy explains what cookies are, how this website uses them, what data they collect and how you can control your cookie preferences. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides full details on how we handle personal data.
We comply with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the Data Protection Act 2018 and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) in our use of cookies and similar technologies.
What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet or smartphone) when you visit a website. They are stored by your web browser and contain data that the website or a third-party service can read on subsequent visits. Cookies serve a range of purposes: some are essential for the website to function correctly, while others help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it.
Similar technologies include web beacons (tracking pixels), local storage and session storage. Where this policy refers to cookies, it includes these related technologies unless stated otherwise.
How We Use Cookies
This website uses cookies for the following purposes.
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the basic operation of the website. They enable core functions such as page navigation, secure access and remembering your cookie consent preferences. Strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent under PECR and cannot be disabled without affecting site functionality.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| cookie_consent | Stores your cookie preference choice so the consent notice is not shown repeatedly. | 12 months | First-party |
Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the website by collecting information about pages visited, time spent on pages, traffic sources and navigation patterns. The data is aggregated and anonymised, meaning it cannot be used to identify you personally. We use this information to improve site content, structure and user experience.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics: distinguishes unique visitors by assigning a randomly generated identifier. | 2 years | Third-party |
| _ga_* | Google Analytics 4: maintains session state and tracks page interactions. | 2 years | Third-party |
| _gid | Google Analytics: distinguishes visitors within a 24-hour window. | 24 hours | Third-party |
| _gat | Google Analytics: throttles request rate to limit data collection on high-traffic pages. | 1 minute | Third-party |
Google Analytics processes data on our behalf under a data processing agreement. Google’s privacy practices are described at policies.google.com/privacy. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking on all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Functional Cookies
These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make, such as your preferred display settings, and provide enhanced features. They may be set by us or by third-party services embedded in our pages.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| theme_preference | Stores your light or dark mode preference if you override the system default. | 12 months | First-party |
Affiliate and Marketing Cookies
When you click an outbound link to a third-party casino operator, the destination site may set its own cookies to track that your visit originated from our website. This enables the affiliate commission process described in our Legal Information page. These cookies are set by the third-party operator, not by us, and are governed by that operator’s own cookie and privacy policies.
We do not serve display advertising on this website and do not use advertising network cookies, retargeting pixels or behavioural profiling cookies.
Your Consent
Under PECR, strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent. All other cookies — analytics, functional and any third-party cookies — require your prior consent before being placed on your device. When you first visit this website, you will be presented with a cookie consent notice that allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies.
You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the site, at which point the consent notice will appear again. Declining non-essential cookies does not affect your ability to read the content on this site.
Managing Cookies in Your Browser
In addition to the consent mechanism on this site, you can control cookies through your web browser settings. All major browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. The following links provide instructions for the most widely used browsers.
Google Chrome: support.google.com/chrome/answer/95647
Mozilla Firefox: support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/clear-cookies-and-site-data-firefox
Apple Safari: support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/safari/sfri11471/mac
Microsoft Edge: support.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge
Please note that blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of this and other websites. Some pages may not display or operate correctly without cookies enabled.
Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a Do Not Track (DNT) setting that sends a signal to websites requesting that your activity is not tracked. There is no universal standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. Our current practice is to honour cookie consent preferences set through our consent mechanism rather than the DNT signal. If you wish to limit tracking, we recommend adjusting your cookie preferences through the consent notice or your browser settings as described above.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this cookie policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, the technologies available, or applicable regulations. The date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was last revised. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
