This cookie policy explains what cookies are, how this website uses them, and how you can control or disable them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which describes how we handle personal data more broadly.
What Cookies Are
A cookie is a small text file placed on your device (computer, phone, or tablet) by a website when you visit it. Cookies allow the site to recognise your device on subsequent visits, remember preferences, and collect information about how you interact with the pages.
Cookies can be “first-party” (set by the website you are visiting) or “third-party” (set by an external service embedded on the page, such as an analytics tool or advertising network). They can also be “session” cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or “persistent” cookies (remaining on your device for a defined period or until manually deleted).
How We Use Cookies
This website uses cookies for the purposes described below. We categorise them into three groups based on their function.
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the basic operation of the website. They enable core functions such as page navigation, access to secure areas, and the cookie consent mechanism itself. Without these cookies, the site cannot function properly. They do not collect personal data for marketing purposes.
Strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent under UK regulations (the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003, as amended). They are set automatically when you access the site.
Analytics Cookies
We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our content. These cookies collect aggregated, anonymised information about page views, session duration, traffic sources, and user navigation patterns. The data helps us identify which guides are most useful, where readers spend their time, and where we can improve.
Analytics cookies are placed by third-party services. The data they collect does not directly identify you, but it may include your IP address (typically anonymised or truncated), browser type, and device information. These cookies are only set with your consent.
Marketing and Affiliate Cookies
This website participates in affiliate marketing programmes. When you click an affiliate link to a casino operator, a cookie may be placed on your device by the affiliate tracking platform. This cookie records that you arrived at the operator’s site via our link, enabling the operator to attribute any subsequent registration to our referral. The cookie does not give us access to your activity on the operator’s site, and it does not collect sensitive personal data.
Some pages may also include cookies from advertising networks if third-party advertising is present. These cookies may be used to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other sites. Marketing and affiliate cookies are only set with your consent.
Specific Cookies We Use
The table below lists the categories of cookies used on this site. Specific cookie names and their providers may change as we update our technology stack; this list reflects the types in use at the time of publication.
| Category | Purpose | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cookie consent | Stores your cookie preferences so you are not asked repeatedly | First-party, persistent | 12 months |
| Web analytics | Measures site traffic and user behaviour in aggregated form | Third-party, persistent | Up to 26 months |
| Affiliate tracking | Attributes a referral when you click an affiliate link to a casino operator | Third-party, persistent | 30 to 90 days |
| Performance | Monitors page load times and error rates to maintain site reliability | First-party, session | Session |
Your Consent
When you first visit this website, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept or reject non-essential cookies. Strictly necessary cookies are always active, as they are required for the site to function.
You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the site, which will trigger the consent banner again. You can also manage cookies through your browser settings, as described below.
How to Control Cookies
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically choose to block all cookies, block only third-party cookies, delete cookies when you close the browser, or receive a notification before a cookie is set.
Instructions for managing cookies in the most common browsers are available on the following pages:
- Google Chrome: support.google.com
- Mozilla Firefox: support.mozilla.org
- Apple Safari: support.apple.com
- Microsoft Edge: support.microsoft.com
Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of this site and other websites you visit. Some features may not work as expected if cookies are blocked.
Do Not Track
Some browsers send a Do Not Track (DNT) signal with each request. There is no universal standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals, and this site does not currently alter its behaviour in response to a DNT header. Your cookie preferences as set through our consent banner take precedence.
