Material on payout times and on casinos working outside GamStop makes up the pages of this site, written for readers in Great Britain, and only a handful of technical tools are needed to deliver it. Which cookies and comparable technologies operate here, what purpose each serves, and the way they may be refused or changed are set out below. A cookie is a small text file placed on a device by a browser; local and session storage entries and counting pixels behave in much the same fashion.
The rule behind it
Regulation 6 of the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 (PECR) supplies the standard: information stored on a user's device, or reached where it is already held, calls for clear and comprehensive information plus consent, with an exception made where the storage is strictly necessary to deliver a service the user has asked for. Consent must satisfy the UK GDPR (Article 4(11) and Article 7) — freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous, no harder to withdraw than to give. The UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 also govern the matter once cookies serve to process personal data.
Files the site cannot run without
Reliable operation depends on them. A session is held open, server load is spread, forms are shielded against abuse, and the cookie choice itself is remembered. No separate choice is sought for these. Sessions end with the browser, and the stored choice lasts no longer than twelve months.
Functional and analytics files
Functional files carry settings from one visit to the next, such as the payout tables that were opened last. Counting page views, and showing which pages get read, is the job of analytics files, and the result feeds improvements to the content. Consent given in the cookie banner is what switches either group on. Shortening removes the tail of an IP address before analysis, and no profile tracking behaviour from one site to another is ever assembled.
Files from outside services
A file of its own may arrive from an embedded outside service, a video or a map for instance. That provider's privacy rules then also bite, and any objection belongs with that provider. Advertising cookies that assemble profiles for personalised ads are not set here unless a clear choice has been made in the consent banner.
Refusing and changing consent
The "Cookie settings" link in the footer changes or withdraws consent at any moment; withdrawal governs the future and leaves the lawfulness of what came before untouched. Every browser additionally offers blocking and deletion of cookies through its privacy settings, with the manufacturer's help pages giving the steps for Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge. Deleting the necessary files brings the banner back, and for a short while some features may stop working.
Supervision
The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK's supervisory authority, receives complaints about how personal data is handled. How personal data is processed is described in the privacy policy of this site.
