Cookie policy ᐉ types, consent and control ᐉ Non GamStop

This website is an independent information portal about casinos that operate outside the GamStop scheme. It publishes reviews and comparisons and does not accept deposits or process bets. Like most sites, it uses cookies and similar technologies to function correctly and to understand how visitors use its pages. This policy explains what cookies are, which categories we set, and how you can control them.

What cookies are

What cookies areA cookie is a small text file placed on your device when you visit a website. It allows the site to remember actions and preferences, such as your cookie choices, over a period of time. Cookies cannot run programmes or deliver malware, and the ones we use do not collect financial data or identity documents, because the portal offers no accounts or transactions. Alongside cookies we may use comparable technologies, such as local storage and analytics tags, which are covered by this policy in the same way.

Categories of cookies we use

We group cookies into three categories according to their purpose.

Essential cookies are strictly necessary for the site to work. They support core functions such as page navigation, security and remembering the consent choices you make on our cookie banner. These cookies do not require consent because the site cannot operate properly without them, and they are set on the basis of our legitimate interest in delivering a stable service.

Analytics cookies help us understand how the portal is used. They record information such as which pages are visited, how long a session lasts and which browser or device is involved, so that we can identify faults and improve the layout. This data is examined in aggregated form and is not used to identify you personally.

Marketing cookies may be used to measure the performance of promotional or referral content and to limit repetition. They are the most intrusive category, and we set them only where you have given clear permission.

Consent and legal basis

Consent and legal basisUnder the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and the UK GDPR, we may store essential cookies without consent, but analytics and marketing cookies require your agreement before they are placed. When you first arrive, a banner lets you accept all cookies, reject non- essential cookies, or choose your preferences. No optional cookie is set until you have made a choice, and your decision is recorded so that you are not asked repeatedly.

You may change your mind at any time. Withdrawing consent is as straightforward as giving it, and doing so stops further optional cookies from being placed, although cookies already stored may remain until they expire or are cleared.

How long cookies last

Cookies fall into two lifespans. Session cookies are temporary and are removed automatically when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period, which varies by purpose, so that your preferences and analytics context are retained across visits. Where a persistent cookie is no longer needed, it is set to expire rather than remain indefinitely, and you can always remove stored cookies yourself.

Managing cookies in your browser

In addition to our on- site controls, every major browser lets you view, block or delete cookies. You can usually find these options in the privacy or security settings of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge or your mobile browser, where you may refuse all cookies or clear those already saved.

Please note that blocking essential cookies may prevent parts of the site from working as intended, while removing analytics cookies simply limits the anonymous statistics we gather. Because these settings sit within your own browser, the exact steps differ between programmes, and each provider offers its own help pages describing the process.
