Cookie Policy — Casinoloots

If the list of cookies changes we update this page and date the change at the top. Significant changes — a new analytics vendor, for example — are flagged on the home page for a fortnight so returning readers notice.

A session cookie keeps you logged in to the editorial feedback form while you type. A preference cookie remembers your dark/light choice if you flip the toggle. An analytics cookie counts the visit anonymously. An affiliate cookie tags the referring page when you click through to Casinoloots. There are no advertising cookies, no re-targeting pixels, and no third-party social scripts on these pages.

Every mainstream browser has a cookie panel in Settings → Privacy. You can block cookies entirely, allow them per site, or wipe them on exit. Note that blocking the session cookie means the feedback form forgets your name between page loads and the affiliate cookie means a legitimate commission for the editorial team will not be recorded — neither of those harms the reader.

A cookie is a small text file written by a website into the browser so the browser can be recognised on a later visit. It is a thirty-year-old technology and it is still the backbone of logged-in sessions, shopping baskets and analytics on the open web.

The analytics tool records page views, device class and country at the city level only, not the person. We never upload personally identifying data to the analytics vendor; the dashboard shows aggregate charts, not reader names. We review the dashboard weekly: it tells us which pages pull their weight, which pages age out of relevance, and which internal links readers actually use to move around. The payload sent back to the vendor is a short, anonymised event — a page URL, a timestamp, a device class and a rough country. There is no reader name, no email, no phone number, no payment identifier. The vendor runs inside the European Economic Area and processes data under the standard contractual clauses that the UK Data Protection Act recognises after the end of the transition period. If a reader wants to opt out, the browser's Do Not Track signal is honoured on this site and the affiliate cookie is skipped for that session; it does not block editorial content and it does not log the reader out of the feedback form. Note that the analytics vendor does not share raw data with the operator we review: Casinoloots sees only the aggregated affiliate conversion report that the vendor's commission desk prepares each month, and that report lists the referring site, not the referring reader.
