Introduction & Scope
This Cookie Preferences Policy explains how name (the “Website”) uses cookies and similar technologies. Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They can help the site identify you, remember your preferences or display offers tailored to your interests. Cookies do not store personally identifiable information like your name or address. Instead, they enable the Website to function correctly and improve your browsing experience.

- Remember your preferences. Functional cookies save settings like language, layout or whether you prefer dark mode.
- Deliver marketing and affiliate content. Targeting and advertising cookies allow us (or our partners) to show you relevant promotions and track affiliate referrals.

Cookies We Use
We may deploy different cookies within these categories:
- Essential cookies keep our Website operational. Without them, core features may not work properly (e.g., navigation, security checks). These cookies do not store personal information and cannot be turned off using our settings but can be blocked in your browser.
- Preference cookies remember your choices (e.g., which casino categories you favour or your preferred language). They help personalise your experience but are not strictly necessary for the Website to function.
- Analytics cookies collect aggregated data about how you use the site. We use them to understand what content is popular and how users navigate the site so we can improve usability. For instance, we may use Google Analytics, which uses a set of cookies to collect information and report website usage statistics. All data is anonymised.
- Marketing & affiliate cookies are used when you click on our partner links. These cookies record that you have clicked a link so our partners know we sent you. They may also be used by advertising networks to display ads relevant to your interests.

Some cookies on our Website are placed by third‑party services, such as:
- Analytics providers (e.g., Google Analytics) that help us understand site traffic and usage patterns.
- Affiliate networks that track sign‑ups or purchases made via our links.
- Social media widgets that enable you to share content.
- Advertising networks that display targeted ads.
Third‑party cookies are subject to those providers’ privacy policies. We cannot control their behaviour or access the data they collect. We encourage you to check the privacy and cookie policies of these third parties.
