1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They store information about your browsing activity and preferences, allowing the site to remember you on subsequent visits. Cookies can be “session” (deleted when you close your browser) or “persistent” (remain until they expire).

Under GDPR, cookies fall under personal data processing. We rely on your consent to set non-essential cookies and on legitimate interests for strictly necessary cookies that enable core functionality.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorise cookies into the following types, each serving a distinct purpose to enhance your experience on our UK casino guide:

2.1 Essential Cookies

These cookies are vital for security, site navigation, and core functions (e.g., age verification, consent management). Disabling them may prevent the website from operating correctly. They do not collect identifiable personal information.

2.2 Performance & Analytics Cookies

We use analytics cookies (e.g., Google Analytics) to gather aggregated data on page visits, user flow, and error reports. This information helps us optimise website performance and content. All data is anonymised and cannot identify individual users.

2.3 Functionality Cookies

These cookies remember your preferences such as language selection, display settings, and region. They enable personalised features and improve usability. Functionality cookies may be set by us or by trusted third-party providers we integrate.

2.4 Advertising & Targeting Cookies

Advertising cookies track your browsing across sites to deliver relevant ads and measure campaign effectiveness. These are set by our advertising partners (e.g., ad networks, social platforms) and require your explicit consent.
