Browser cookies explained, and the few our pages set

A cookie is a small text file that a website stores in your browser so it can recognise the same device on the next visit. Our guide uses cookies in a modest way, and you stay in charge of what your browser keeps.

Managing cookies in your browser

Reading and deleting stored cookies

Every major browser has a privacy or site-data panel where stored cookies are listed by website. From there you can remove a single entry, clear everything saved for one site, or wipe all cookies at once. Deleting them signs you out of sites that remembered you and resets saved preferences, so expect to re-enter small details afterwards.

Blocking or limiting cookies

Browsers let you block cookies from other websites while still accepting the ones the visited site sets itself. A stricter setting blocks everything, which can break pages that need a cookie to function. For reading guides, a middle setting is usually the practical choice. Private or incognito windows discard cookies when the window closes, which suits a one-off visit.

Phones and tablets

Mobile browsers keep the same controls inside their settings menu, often under privacy or site data. If you read our guides on a phone, clearing site data there has the same effect as on a computer. Apps that open web pages inside themselves may keep a separate store, so clear it in the app’s own storage settings.

Types of cookies on an information site

Essential cookies

Essential cookies keep a page working: remembering that you dismissed a notice, holding a language choice, or keeping a session steady while you move between guides. Without them, small conveniences stop working, but nothing about your reading is lost.

Analytics cookies

Analytics cookies count visits and show which guides are read, which are skipped and where readers leave. They help us decide what to revise, extend or retire. The figures are used in aggregate; the aim is to improve our guides, not to follow an individual through the web.

Affiliate cookies

Some outbound links on an information site such as ours may be commercial links. When you follow one, the casino’s side can set a cookie that records the visit came from a guide. This is how a referral is credited, and it is the reason we mention commercial links openly. Accounts, deposits and bonus questions with the casino stay with the casino’s own support.

How we use cookies

Keeping the guide running

Essential cookies make pages load consistently and remember your simple choices. We keep that set small so a reader who blocks everything else still gets the full text of every guide.

Learning which guides help

Analytics cookies tell us whether a bonus guide, a registration walkthrough or a payments guide answers the questions readers arrive with. When a guide is skipped or abandoned early, we revise it with plainer wording and sharper facts.

Third-party cookies and updates

Third-party cookies come from outside services embedded in or linked from our text, including the casino a link leads to. Those services set their own rules for them, and your browser settings control them. When our use of cookies changes, we revise the cookie notice and update its date line.
