Cookie Policy

This page explains which cookies this website uses, what each one is for, and how to switch them off. It sits alongside our privacy policy, which covers personal data more broadly.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are used to make sites work properly, to remember choices you have made, and to measure how a site is used. Most of them are harmless and short-lived.

What we use them for

Three purposes, and we would rather list them precisely than in categories that sound thorough and say nothing.

• Necessary cookies. These make the site work: page navigation, security, and the caching that keeps pages loading quickly. They cannot be switched off from within the site because without them it would not function.
• Preference cookies. One thing is remembered here: your cookie consent choice, so you are not asked again on every page. This site has one language and one region, so there is nothing else of that kind to store.
• Analytics cookies. We use Google Analytics 4 to see which pages are read and for how long, in aggregate. It tells us that a review was read; it does not tell us who read it. Google’s practices are described in its privacy policy. Refusing these changes nothing about what you can read here.

Affiliate cookies, and what they do not do

Some links on this site are affiliate links, which is how the site is funded. Our affiliate disclosure covers the commercial side. Here is what happens technically.

When you click one of our buttons to a casino, the link passes briefly through an address on our own domain before sending you on. That redirect records that a click happened. It does not attach your name to anything, because we do not have it.

What happens next is the casino’s doing rather than ours. Its affiliate programme sets a cookie on its own domain so that a registration can be attributed to us. We cannot read that cookie and we cannot see anything you do once you have left this site. We do not know whether you registered, what you deposited, what you played, or what you won or lost. The reports we receive are aggregated and contain no personal information about anyone.

Third parties that see something

Two, and both are named in our privacy policy as well.

• Google Analytics 4, for the traffic measurement described above.
• Cloudflare, which sits in front of this website to speed it up and block automated attacks. It may set a cookie to distinguish a real visitor from a bot, which is a security function rather than a tracking one.

Our hosting provider keeps standard server logs but does not set cookies of its own.

How to switch them off

• Use the consent control on this site, at the bottom left of the screen, to change your choice at any time.
• Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies, usually under Settings, then Privacy. You can block third-party cookies specifically while leaving the rest alone, which stops analytics and affiliate attribution without breaking navigation.
• Browser extensions that block trackers work here too and we do not attempt to detect or defeat them.

Blocking analytics or affiliate cookies restricts nothing on this site. Every review and guide stays free to read either way. If you block the affiliate cookie, a casino you sign up with will not be attributed to us and we will earn nothing, which is your choice to make and not something we will nag you about.

Changes to this policy

We may update this page to reflect changes in the tools we use or for legal reasons. Any change will carry a revised “Last updated” date at the top, and where a change materially affects what is tracked we will say what changed rather than only moving the date.
