1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They are stored in your browser and sent back to the originating website on subsequent visits, allowing the site to recognise your device and remember certain information about your visit. Cookies are widely used to make websites function correctly, to improve performance, and to provide information to the owners of the site.
Similar technologies, sometimes called web beacons, pixel tags, or local storage objects, perform comparable functions. This policy uses the term “cookies” to refer to all such technologies collectively unless a distinction is necessary.
2. Who Sets Cookies on This Site?
Cookies on this site are set either by us — Casino Network Pro — as first-party cookies, or by third-party services we have integrated into the site. First-party cookies are placed directly by our web server or scripts running on our domain. Third-party cookies are placed by external services such as analytics providers. Where third-party cookies are used, the third party’s own privacy and cookie policies apply to the data collected by their cookies.
3. Categories of Cookies We Use
3.1 Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are strictly necessary for the site to function. They enable core features such as page security, session continuity, and navigation between pages. Without these cookies, parts of the site would not operate correctly. Because they are required for the basic functioning of the site, essential cookies cannot be disabled through our cookie preferences panel. They do not store any personally identifiable information and are not used for tracking or advertising purposes.
Examples of what essential cookies do on this site: maintaining your cookie consent preferences so you are not shown the consent banner on every page visit; supporting secure form submission; enabling server-side session management.
3.2 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow the site to remember choices you have made and provide enhanced or personalised features. They do not track your browsing activity across other sites. If you disable functional cookies, some features may work less smoothly — for example, your language or region preference may not be saved between visits — but the core editorial content of the site will remain fully accessible.
3.3 Performance and Analytics Cookies
Performance cookies collect information about how visitors use the site, such as which pages are visited most frequently, how long visitors spend on each page, and whether error messages are encountered. This data is used in aggregated, anonymised form to help us understand where improvements are needed and to measure the effect of changes we make to the site. We use Google Analytics for this purpose. We have configured Google Analytics to anonymise IP addresses before they are processed, which means the data collected cannot be used to identify individual visitors.
You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on, available from Google’s website. Alternatively, you can disable performance cookies through our cookie preferences panel, and they will not be set on your device.
3.4 Marketing and Advertising Cookies
Marketing cookies are used to deliver content and advertisements that are more relevant to your interests, based on your browsing behaviour. They may be set by advertising networks we work with and are used to build a profile of your interests over time. These cookies track your activity across different websites and are not limited to this site.
We use marketing cookies to measure the performance of our affiliate partnerships. This involves placing a cookie when you click a link to one of the casino operators reviewed on this site, which allows the operator to attribute your registration to our referral if you sign up. This cookie does not collect personal data from you directly and is used only for the commercial purpose of verifying referrals.
You can disable marketing cookies at any time through our cookie preferences panel. Doing so will not affect the content you can access on this site, but it will mean that any affiliate links you click will not carry referral attribution.
4. Cookie Retention Periods
Cookies are classified as either session cookies or persistent cookies. Session cookies are temporary and are deleted automatically when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device until they reach their expiry date or until you delete them manually. The retention periods for specific cookies used on this site are as follows.
- Cookie consent preference: 12 months. This cookie stores your cookie preferences so that we do not prompt you again during this period.
- Google Analytics (_ga): 2 years. This cookie is used to distinguish unique users by assigning a randomly generated number.
- Google Analytics (_ga_*): 2 years. This cookie is used to persist session state for Google Analytics 4.
- Affiliate tracking: 30 days. This cookie records a referral click and expires after 30 days if no conversion has occurred.
- Session cookies: Deleted when you close your browser.
5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
When you first visit this site, you are presented with a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept all cookies, decline non-essential cookies, or open the preferences panel to make category-by-category choices. Your preferences are stored in a consent cookie on your device for twelve months.
You can review and update your preferences at any time by clicking the cookie settings option in the footer of any page. Changes take effect immediately. If you withdraw consent for a category of cookies, any cookies in that category that are already on your device will be deleted on your next page load.
Browser-Level Cookie Controls
In addition to our on-site preferences panel, all major browsers allow you to view, manage, and delete cookies through their settings menus. You can configure your browser to block all cookies, to block only third-party cookies, or to notify you when a cookie is about to be set. Instructions for managing cookies in the most common browsers are available through each browser’s help pages. Please note that blocking all cookies may prevent some features of this and other websites from working correctly.
6. Do Not Track
Some browsers include a “Do Not Track” feature that sends a signal to websites requesting that your browsing activity not be tracked. There is currently no industry-wide standard for how websites should respond to this signal, and we do not alter our data collection practices in response to Do Not Track signals. You can achieve the equivalent outcome for this site by disabling performance and marketing cookies through our preferences panel.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in the cookies and tracking technologies we use, or in response to changes in applicable law. When we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. If the changes are significant, we will present the updated consent banner again so that you can review and reconfirm your preferences. Continued use of the site following publication of an updated policy constitutes acceptance of the changes.
