Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy outlines the use of cookies and similar tracking technologies on our Casino website. The purpose of this document is to provide clear and comprehensive information about what cookies are, the types of cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences regarding their use. This policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy, which provides detailed information about how we collect, use, and protect your personal data. By continuing to use our website, you acknowledge your understanding of this policy.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files composed of letters and numbers that are downloaded and stored on your computer, mobile device, or tablet when you access a website. These files contain a unique identifier that allows a website to recognise a specific device or browser upon subsequent visits. They serve various functions, from enabling basic website operations to remembering user preferences and helping to analyse website traffic.

In this policy, the term “cookies” also refers to other similar technologies that perform a comparable function. These technologies include, but are not limited to:

Web Beacons

Web beacons, also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs, are small graphic images embedded in web pages or emails. They are typically used in combination with cookies to identify users and track their behaviour. For instance, they can help determine whether an email has been opened or if a specific link on a website has been clicked.

Local Storage

Local storage technologies, such as HTML5 local storage and browser caches, allow websites to store information locally on your device. This data can persist even after the browser is closed and is often used to improve website performance by storing frequently accessed resources.

Categories of Cookies

Cookies used on our Casino website can be categorised based on their origin and their lifespan.

First-Party and Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set and managed directly by our Casino. These cookies are essential for the core functionality of our website, such as maintaining your session login and remembering your preferences.

Third-party cookies are set by domains other than our Casino. These are placed by external service providers that we partner with for specific functions. These functions include website analytics, advertising services, and social media integration. These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies, and we recommend you review their policies for information on their data handling practices.

Session and Persistent Cookies

Session cookies are temporary and exist only for the duration of your visit to our website. They are automatically deleted from your device when you close your web browser. Their primary purpose is to track your activity within a single session, such as keeping you logged in as you navigate between pages.

Persistent cookies remain on your device for a pre-determined period after you close your browser. They are activated each time you revisit the website that created them. These cookies are used to remember your preferences and settings over multiple visits, such as your chosen language or saved login details.

Types of Cookies We Use

Our Casino utilises several types of cookies to operate our services and enhance your experience. These are grouped by their function as follows:

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the proper functioning of our website. They enable core functionalities such as user authentication, account management, and security protocols. Without these cookies, services you have requested, such as accessing secure areas or making transactions, cannot be provided. Disabling these cookies will severely impact the website’s performance and may render certain features unusable.

Performance and Analytical Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website. They gather anonymous, aggregated data on which pages are visited most frequently, the amount of time spent on the site, and any error messages encountered. This information helps us understand user interaction patterns and is used exclusively to improve the performance, functionality, and overall usability of our Casino website.

Functionality Cookies

Functionality cookies allow our website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personal features. For example, they can remember your username, preferred language, or the region you are in. This information is used to tailor your experience and make your visits more convenient. The data collected by these cookies may be anonymised and cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

Targeting and Advertising Cookies

These cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests. They track your browsing habits across websites to build a profile of your interests. This profile is then used by advertising networks to display targeted advertisements on other websites you visit. These cookies can also be used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and to measure the effectiveness of an advertising campaign.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers are configured to automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser’s settings to decline them if you prefer. You can also configure your browser to notify you each time a cookie is offered, allowing you to accept or reject them on an individual basis. Furthermore, you can delete cookies that have already been stored on your device.

The method for managing cookie preferences varies depending on the browser you use. Please consult the ‘Help’ section of your specific browser for instructions on how to adjust your settings.

Please be aware that blocking or deleting cookies may affect your user experience. If you disable strictly necessary cookies, you may not be able to access all parts of our Casino website or use all of its features. Disabling other types of cookies may prevent you from benefiting from enhanced functionality and personalised content. If you use multiple devices to access our website, you will need to ensure that the browser on each device is adjusted to suit your cookie preferences.
