Cookies Policy
This cookies policy explains how and why cookies are used on this website. It applies to all pages of the site and should be read alongside the privacy policy. Use of this site following the display of the cookie consent banner constitutes acknowledgement of the practices described here.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files written to a visitor’s device – desktop, laptop, tablet, or phone – when a web page loads. They are widely used across the internet to make websites function correctly, retain visitor preferences, and gather anonymous data about how pages are used. Cookies do not contain executable code and cannot access other files stored on a device.
Each cookie has a lifespan. Session cookies are deleted automatically when the browser is closed. Persistent cookies remain on the device until their set expiry date or until the visitor deletes them manually.
Cookies used on this site
The cookies on this site fall into three categories: strictly necessary, analytics, and third-party.
Strictly necessary cookies are placed automatically and cannot be switched off without breaking essential site functions. They handle things such as storing cookie consent preferences and maintaining page session data. No personal information is held in these cookies and they serve no advertising purpose.
Analytics cookies are used to collect anonymous data about visitor behaviour – which pages are viewed, how long is spent on each, what device and browser type is used, and how the visitor arrived at the site. This data is processed by a third-party analytics provider and used solely to understand site performance and improve content. The data collected is aggregated and does not identify individual visitors. These cookies are only placed with the visitor’s consent.
Third-party cookies may be written to a visitor’s device when clicking through to a casino or gambling operator via an affiliate link on this site. These cookies are set and controlled by the respective third-party operators, not by this site. Their purpose is typically to track referrals for commission purposes. This site has no access to the data those cookies collect, and their use is governed by the privacy and cookie policies of the relevant operators. Visitors are advised to review those policies before registering with any linked casino.
Consent
On first visiting the site, a consent banner is shown. Strictly necessary cookies are placed regardless of the choice made. Analytics cookies are placed only if the visitor accepts them through the banner. The consent choice is stored as a cookie itself, so the banner does not reappear on subsequent visits unless that cookie is cleared.
Consent can be withdrawn at any time by clearing cookies through the browser settings and declining when the banner reappears. Withdrawing consent for analytics cookies does not affect the visitor’s ability to use the site.
How to manage and delete cookies
All major browsers provide tools to view, manage, and delete cookies. The process varies slightly between browsers, but in each case the relevant settings are found under privacy or security options. The steps for the most commonly used browsers among UK visitors are as follows.
In Google Chrome: Settings, then Privacy and security, then Cookies and other site data. In Mozilla Firefox: Settings, then Privacy and Security, then Cookies and Site Data. In Safari on IOS or desktop: Settings, then Safari, then Privacy, then Manage Website Data. In Microsoft Edge: Settings, then Cookies and site permissions, then Manage and delete cookies and site data.
Deleting cookies will remove any stored preferences, including the record of consent, and the cookie banner will reappear on the next visit. Blocking all cookies through browser settings may affect how some pages on this site load, though editorial content will remain accessible.
Third-party opt-out tools
Visitors who prefer to opt out of analytics tracking across multiple websites can use the opt-out tools provided by analytics software providers directly. These typically involve installing a browser add-on or setting a persistent opt-out cookie. Details are published on the respective provider’s website. For broader control over interest-based advertising cookies across UK websites, the Your Online Choices tool at youronlinechoices.com provides a single interface for managing preferences across participating networks.
Changes to this policy
This cookies policy is updated when the cookies in use on the site change or when applicable UK law requires it. Continued use of the site after any update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy. Visitors who object to any change should clear their cookies and cease using the site, and may request deletion of any personal data held by contacting the editorial team through the contact page.
