Cookies and similar technologies

What a cookie is
A cookie is a small file a site asks your browser to store and send back on
later visits. We also use closely related technologies —
localStorage and sessionStorage — which work the
same way from your point of view. Everything on this page applies to all of them.
On your first visit we show a banner with three choices: Accept All, Reject Non-Essential and Manage Preferences. Nothing outside the essential category runs until you have made a choice.
Essential cookies
Required for the site to work. These do not need consent, because without them there is no site to consent to.
casino_sid- Your session. Keeps you signed in and ties your requests together. Session cookie; also expires after a period of inactivity.
- CSRF token
- Held inside the session. Proves a form submission came from a page we served, which is what stops another site submitting requests as you.
cdk.age.v1- Your answer to the age and location question, stored on your device so we do not ask on every page.
cdk.consent.v1- Your cookie choice. Slightly paradoxical, but we have to remember that you declined in order to keep declining.
Functional cookies
Remember preferences that make the site more convenient: your selected game filter, notices you have dismissed, display choices. Declining them costs you convenience, not access.
Analytics cookies
Aggregate measurement: which pages are visited, how people move through the site, where something breaks. We use this to fix and improve pages. Analytics data is reported in aggregate and is not used to make decisions about you individually.
Advertising cookies
Measure marketing campaigns and limit how often you see the same message. These are set only with your explicit consent, and consent can be withdrawn at any time.
We do not target advertising at people who have self-excluded, and self-exclusion removes you from marketing regardless of the cookie choices on this page.
Third-party technologies
Where a third party sets a cookie through this site — an analytics or advertising provider, or an embedded payment page — it does so under our instructions and only within the category you consented to. Fonts on this site are served from our own domain rather than a font network, so no third party is contacted merely to render a page.
How long they last
| Session cookie | Deleted when you close the browser, or sooner on inactivity |
|---|---|
| Age and location answer | Until you clear site data on that device |
| Consent choice | Up to 12 months, then we ask again |
| Functional | Up to 12 months |
| Analytics | Up to 24 months |
| Advertising | Up to 13 months |
Managing your consent
You can change your mind at any time, and there is no penalty for declining.

Browser controls
Your browser can block or delete cookies independently of the choices above, usually under Settings → Privacy. Blocking essential cookies will sign you out and prevent the site from working. If you use a shared computer, clearing site data also clears your age answer and your consent choice.
