What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files that a website places in your browser during a visit. They hold short pieces of data, such as a language choice or a visit counter. This page sets out which files our site uses and how you control them.
Nothing here is written for lawyers, because policies nobody reads protect nobody at all. We describe each category in plain words and point to the settings that switch files off. Readers who want the technical background can check any browser help centre for detail.
Types of Cookies We Use
Four groups cover everything our pages place in a browser, and none of them read personal files. Essential files keep the site working, while the rest support comfort and measurement. Consent applies to every group except the essential one, which cannot be switched off.
- Essential files load pages correctly, protect forms from abuse and store your consent choice.
- Preference files keep settings such as language or layout between one visit and the next.
- Analytics files count visits, sessions and traffic sources without naming individual readers.
- Partner files record a click on an outbound link so a casino knows the traffic source.
No file in these groups holds a password, a payment detail or a casino balance. Data from analytics and partner files arrives to us in totals rather than personal profiles. Nothing we store in a browser identifies you by name, address or phone number.
How Long Cookies Stay
Lifespans differ by purpose, and the shortest ones disappear the moment a browser closes. Others stay for months so settings and traffic counts survive between separate visits. The list below shows typical periods, which suppliers sometimes adjust without notice.
- Essential files last from a single session up to roughly twelve months at most.
- Preference files hold language and layout choices for about twelve months as well.
- Analytics files can stay in a browser for up to twenty four months.
- Partner files expire within thirty days of a click on an outbound link.
Clearing your browser data deletes every file early, including the record of your consent. The banner then appears again on your next visit, since the earlier choice has gone. Nothing breaks in that process, and articles keep loading exactly as before.
Cookies From Other Companies
Some files come from services we use rather than from our own server. Each supplier acts under a contract and processes the data for the purpose we agreed. Casinos also place their own files once you land on their site.
- Analytics services, which report visits, popular pages and the devices readers use.
- Partner platforms, which match a click with a casino so commission gets tracked.
- Content services, which deliver images and scripts faster through nearby servers.
- Casino sites, which apply their own rules the moment you leave our pages.
We hold no control over files placed on casino websites after a click on our link. Their policies apply there, and reading those documents before signing up is sensible. Questions about a casino file belong to that operator rather than to our team.
Managing Cookies in Your Browser
Every modern browser lets you block files, delete them or accept them case by case. Settings sit a few clicks deep, and the wording differs slightly between programs. Changes apply to future visits, so old files stay until you clear them.
- Chrome: Settings, then Privacy and security, then Third-party cookies and site data.
- Safari: Settings, then Safari, then Privacy and Security on iPhone or Preferences on Mac.
- Firefox: Settings, then Privacy and Security, then Cookies and Site Data.
- Edge: Settings, then Cookies and site permissions, then Manage and delete cookies.
Private or incognito windows drop most files as soon as the window closes. Browser extensions add further control, though aggressive blockers sometimes break page layouts. Mobile devices carry the same options, usually inside the browser settings menu.
If You Block Cookies
Blocking analytics and partner files costs you nothing, since articles, tables and demos keep working. Our traffic reports simply lose those visits, which makes planning slightly harder for us. No paywall, popup or reading limit appears because somebody declined a whole category.
Blocking essential files causes small problems, such as a consent banner on every page. Preference settings also reset, so language or layout choices need repeating each visit. Anyone who prefers that trade can keep everything blocked without losing access to content.
Updates and Contact
This policy changes whenever we add a tool, drop a supplier or adjust the consent banner. The revision date sits at the top of the page so readers can spot fresh edits. Older versions are replaced rather than archived, because current information serves people better.
Questions about files, consent or tracking go to [email protected] at any time. We answer from the same address and explain what each file does in practice. Readers who report a file we missed help us keep this page accurate.
