Cookie Policy
1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains in detail what cookies are, what types of cookies this Website uses, why we use them, how long they last, and how you can manage, control, or delete them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which sets out how we handle personal data more broadly, and our Terms and Conditions.
By continuing to use this Website after the cookie consent banner has appeared, and by accepting all cookies via that banner, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this Policy. You may change your cookie preferences at any time. Withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdrew it.
We update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect changes in the cookies we use or in applicable regulations. When we make material changes, we will update the ‘Last Updated’ date at the top of this page. We recommend reviewing this Policy each time you visit the Website.
2. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device – computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-enabled device – when you visit a website. They are widely used across the internet to make websites work more efficiently, to provide functionality, to remember your preferences, and to give website operators analytical information about how their site is being used.
Cookies are not programs and cannot carry viruses or malware. They do not give websites access to your device or any other information on your device beyond what you choose to share. Each cookie contains a small amount of data and is uniquely associated with your browser or device.
In addition to traditional cookies, we may also use related technologies such as web beacons (also called tracking pixels), local storage, and session storage. These function similarly to cookies in that they collect data about your visit and interactions with our Website. For simplicity, all such technologies are referred to collectively as ‘cookies’ in this Policy.
3. Categories of Cookies We Use
3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
Strictly necessary cookies are essential for this Website to function correctly and securely. Without these cookies, certain features or services you request – such as security controls, load balancing, or preference storage – cannot be provided. These cookies do not collect information that could be used for marketing or to track your browsing activity on other websites.
Because these cookies are essential to the operation of the Website, they are placed on your device without requiring your prior consent, as permitted by applicable law. You may choose to disable these cookies via your browser settings, but doing so may prevent certain parts of the Website from working correctly.
3.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies
These cookies collect information about how visitors use this Website – for example, which pages are visited most frequently, how long users spend on each page, what links are clicked, and whether users encounter any errors. The information collected by these cookies is aggregated and anonymised; it does not identify you personally.
We use performance cookies to help us understand user behaviour, measure the effectiveness of our content, and make informed decisions about how to improve the Website. One of the primary tools we use for this purpose is Google Analytics, which sets its own cookies to collect and analyse this data. Google’s privacy policy governs the data collected via Google Analytics.
3.3 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow the Website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personalised features. For example, these cookies may remember your preferred language settings, display preferences, or other customisations. The information collected by functional cookies does not track your activity on other websites and is not used for advertising purposes.
3.4 Affiliate and Tracking Cookies
When you click on an affiliate link on this Website that directs you to a third-party casino or gaming platform, a tracking cookie may be placed on your device. This cookie records the fact that you arrived at the third-party site via a link on our Website, and is used for the sole purpose of attributing affiliate commissions. These cookies do not collect personally identifiable information and do not track your activity outside the affiliate transaction context.
Affiliate tracking cookies are typically set by the affiliate network rather than by us directly, and their operation is governed by the privacy policies of the respective affiliate network and third-party operator. We have no access to or control over these third-party affiliate cookies once they are set.
3.5 Advertising Cookies
We may work with third-party advertising networks that place cookies on our Website to serve advertisements that are more relevant to your interests, based on your browsing history. These advertising cookies may track your online activity across multiple websites. We do not have direct access to the information collected by these third-party advertising cookies. You can opt out of interest-based advertising through the tools described in Section 5 of this Policy.
4. Third-Party Cookies
In addition to the cookies set directly by us, various third-party services integrated into this Website may set their own cookies. These third parties include, but are not limited to:
- Google Analytics – website traffic analysis and behavioural reporting (analytics cookies)
- Affiliate networks – tracking of referral traffic and commission attribution (tracking cookies)
- Advertising platforms – serving of targeted or contextual advertising (advertising cookies)
- Embedded content providers – such as video players or social media widgets, where applicable
We do not control the cookies set by third parties, and their placement and operation are governed by the respective third party’s own privacy and cookie policies. We encourage you to review those policies if you have concerns about how third-party cookies handle your data.
5. Cookie Retention Periods
Cookies vary in how long they persist on your device:
- Session cookies – these are temporary cookies that exist only for the duration of your visit to the Website. They are deleted automatically when you close your browser
- Persistent cookies – these remain on your device after you close your browser, for a defined period. Depending on the type and purpose of the cookie, this period may range from 30 days to 2 years
You can view the specific retention period for each cookie via your browser’s developer tools or privacy/cookie settings panel.
6. How to Manage and Control Cookies
6.1 Cookie Consent Banner

Your selection is saved and applied to all subsequent visits, unless you clear your cookies or change your preferences.
6.2 Browser Settings

Most modern browsers allow you to: view which cookies are currently stored on your device; block cookies from specific websites or all websites; delete cookies individually or in bulk; set preferences to be asked before cookies are placed.

7. Consent and Your Rights
You have the right to give, refuse, or withdraw consent for non-essential cookies at any time. Strictly necessary cookies are placed without consent as they are technically required for the Website to function. For all other cookie categories – analytics, functional, affiliate, and advertising – your consent is required before those cookies are placed.
Withdrawing your consent to non-essential cookies will not affect the lawfulness of any processing that took place prior to your withdrawal. It may, however, affect the functionality of certain features of this Website.
