Cookie Policy
Last updated: 10 February 2026. This policy explains how cookies and similar storage technologies are used on this editorial comparison website, what each category does, and how you can control your choices.
1. What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files stored on your browser when you visit a website. They can remember settings, preserve technical state, and provide anonymous measurement signals that help website owners understand performance. We also use local storage entries for consent memory and age-check status. Local storage is not exactly the same as cookies, but it serves a similar purpose by keeping small values on your device.
Storage tools can be first-party, meaning set directly by this site, or third-party, meaning set by providers that supply analytics or other services. Session storage usually expires quickly, while persistent storage remains for a defined period unless you delete it.
2. How We Use Storage Technologies
We use essential storage to keep the site functioning correctly, including remembering consent and age-confirmation choices so pop-ups do not repeatedly block navigation. We also use measurement tools to understand which pages users visit and where navigation becomes confusing. That information helps us update layout decisions, improve link clarity, and identify outdated sections.
We do not use storage technologies to run a gambling account, collect card details, or build personal betting behaviour profiles. This website is editorial only. Any casino account activity happens on third-party operator websites under separate policies.
3. Cookie Categories on This Site
We group storage into four practical categories:
Access Memory: keeps age gate status and basic session continuity so the website can be used without repeated interruption.
Preference Memory: stores your consent selection, so Accept or Decline is respected on return visits.
Performance Signals: collects high-level interaction data, such as page load timing and navigation paths, used for quality checks and content maintenance.
Integrity Signals: supports abuse detection, traffic anomaly checks, and basic security monitoring to reduce malicious activity.
4. Third-Party Cookies
Some pages may involve third-party services for analytics, referral tracking, or security operations. Those providers can set cookies or similar identifiers according to their own technical model. We select providers based on operational need and reliability, and we restrict data access to what is needed for the requested service.
When you click an outbound casino link, partner systems may record referral information such as source page and click timestamp for reporting purposes. After you leave this site, data handling is controlled by the destination operator or network. You should review their policies before registering.
5. Consent and Control
You can accept or decline non-essential cookie use via the banner shown at the bottom of the page. Your selection is saved using the `arc_cookies` key in local storage. If you decline, only storage needed for essential operation and consent memory remains active. You can change your choice later by clearing browser storage and revisiting the site.
Most browsers also allow you to block or delete cookies directly. Be aware that disabling all storage may affect core functions, such as keeping your age-check status or preference settings. Browser control links are usually available in the help area of Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari.
6. Retention and Expiry
Storage duration depends on purpose. Preference and access memory may remain for a practical period so your choices persist between sessions. Performance and integrity signals are retained only as long as needed for trend review, service quality checks, and abuse monitoring. We review retention regularly and remove or reset data where no longer needed.
Deleting cookies or local storage in your browser removes saved values immediately from your device. Server-side logs associated with security and diagnostics follow separate retention rules described in the Privacy Policy.
7. Policy Updates
We may update this policy to reflect regulatory changes, revised service providers, or technical changes in site functionality. The latest version is published on this page with a revision date. Significant changes are presented clearly so visitors can review them before continuing to use the site.
If you continue to use the website after an update, that use indicates acceptance of the revised policy terms regarding cookies and storage technologies.
