Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, or tablet when you visit a website. They are created by the website’s server and stored in your browser. When you return to the same website, or navigate to pages within it, the browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the website to recognise you and maintain continuity.

Cookies are a standard technology used across the internet. They perform a wide range of functions, from keeping you logged in to a service, to remembering your language preference, to counting how many people visit a given page. They are not programs and cannot execute code on your device. They cannot access files stored elsewhere on your device, and they cannot spread malware or viruses.

Cookies vary in two primary dimensions: who sets them (first-party or third-party) and how long they persist (session or persistent). These distinctions are explained in detail below.

3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

Strictly necessary cookies are required for the core functionality of the website. Without them, the site would not load correctly, pages would not display as intended, and basic navigation would be disrupted. Because they are essential to the service you have requested by visiting the site, strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent under applicable data protection and ePrivacy regulations.

These cookies are first-party cookies – set directly by this website – and they do not track you across other websites. They are active only during your visit and, in most cases, are deleted when you close your browser.

Examples of strictly necessary cookies include:

• Session cookies that maintain continuity as you navigate between pages within the same visit.
• Security tokens that prevent cross-site request forgery (CSRF attacks).
• Load-balancing identifiers that ensure consistent delivery of pages from the appropriate server.
• Cookies that store your cookie consent decision, so that you are not prompted on every page load.

3.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies

Performance cookies collect information about how visitors use this website – which pages receive the most visits, where traffic originates from, how long visitors stay, and what content generates the most engagement. This data is aggregated and anonymised; it does not identify individual visitors.

The purpose of performance cookies is to help us understand what is working well on the website and what can be improved. For example, if a particular guide page is consistently exited without being read, that signals a content or presentation issue worth addressing. Without performance cookies, this kind of analysis would not be possible.

This website uses Google Analytics, a service provided by Google LLC, for performance analytics. Google Analytics sets cookies on your device to collect the data described above. Where IP anonymisation is technically supported, we enable it to prevent the storage of complete IP addresses.

Google Analytics data is processed in accordance with Google’s privacy policy. If you wish to opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites, Google provides a browser add-on for this purpose at: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

Performance cookies are non-essential and, where a consent mechanism is deployed on this website, will only be activated following your consent.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow the website to remember choices you make in order to provide a more personalised experience. These are different from strictly necessary cookies in that they are not required for the website to function, but they do improve usability and reduce friction for returning visitors.

Examples of functional cookies on this website may include:

• A cookie that stores your language or regional preference, if applicable.
• A cookie that records whether you have previously dismissed an informational banner, so it is not displayed again on subsequent visits.
• Cookies set by embedded content providers, such as a video player, that allow the player to remember your settings.

Functional cookies do not track your browsing behaviour across other websites. They are scoped to this website only. Where these cookies are non-essential, they will only be set following your consent.

3.4 Targeting and Affiliate Tracking Cookies

This website does not operate its own advertising network and does not serve targeted advertisements. However, affiliate tracking mechanisms are used in connection with links to third-party casino platforms.

When you click an affiliate link on this website, a cookie or tracking parameter may be set that records the referral. This mechanism is used solely to confirm, for commission purposes, that a visit to the destination platform originated from this website. The tracking is limited to this specific commercial function.

Affiliate tracking cookies are typically set at the point of clicking a link and may persist for a period of 30 to 90 days, depending on the affiliate programme in question. They record only that a click occurred – not any personal information about you.

When you arrive at a third-party casino platform, that platform may set its own targeting cookies and advertising tracking technologies in accordance with its own privacy and cookie policies. This website has no control over those cookies. We recommend reviewing the cookie policy of any platform you choose to register with.

Session cookies are temporary. They are stored in memory during your browsing session and are automatically deleted when you close your browser. They are used to maintain continuity and functionality within a single visit.

Persistent cookies remain on your device after your browser session ends. They are retained until a specified expiry date is reached, or until you manually delete them. Persistent cookies are used for purposes that require recognising you across multiple visits – such as remembering your consent preference, or maintaining affiliate tracking during the window in which a qualified referral can be recorded.

The retention periods for specific cookies used on this website are set out in the cookie table in Section 7 below.

The following table provides a representative list of cookies that may be set when you visit this website. The precise list may vary as third-party services are updated.

If you disable all cookies, the following effects may occur when using this website:

• Cookie consent preferences may not be saved, meaning the consent banner may appear on every page you visit.
• Some embedded content – such as third-party video players – may not load correctly.
• Analytics data about your visit will not be collected, and your session will not appear in website usage reports.
• Affiliate tracking will not function, which means that if you click a casino link and subsequently register, the referral may not be recorded.

None of the above effects will prevent you from reading the content on this website or accessing any informational page. The core content of the site is fully accessible without cookies.

We may revise this Cookie Policy from time to time. Reasons for updating the policy include: the introduction of new cookies or third-party services, changes to applicable legal requirements, or improvements to the way we describe existing practices.

The ‘Last updated’ date at the top of this page reflects the date of the most recent revision. We recommend reviewing this policy periodically, particularly if you use this website regularly. Where changes are material – for example, the introduction of a new category of cookie that was not previously used – we will update the consent mechanisms on the site accordingly.
