Our Cookie Policy
This page explains what cookies are, which ones we set when you visit casinoways-online.co.uk, and how you control them. We keep it short and jargon-free.
What Cookies Actually Are
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. Each one stores a snippet of information, such as a preference you chose or the fact that you are already logged in. Your browser sends that snippet back to us on every subsequent request, which is how the site remembers you between pages.
Not all cookies come from us. Some are placed by third parties whose services we use, for example analytics tools or payment providers. We cover those separately below. Cookies never give anyone access to the rest of your device, your files, or your personal folders; they can only be read back by the site or service that set them.
Cookies We Use on Casinoways
Strictly necessary
These cookies keep the site working. Without them you could not log in, your session would break on every page load, and our security checks could not distinguish you from automated traffic. We do not ask for consent before setting them, because the site cannot function without them.
| Cookie name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| casinoways_session | Keeps you logged in during your visit | Session |
| casinoways_auth | Remembers your login token | 30 days |
| csrf_token | Protects forms against forged requests | Session |
Functional
Functional cookies store the choices you make: your preferred language, currency, whether you dismissed a banner, and display settings such as table limits. They are convenient rather than essential, so we only set them with your consent.
Analytics
Analytics cookies tell us, in aggregate, how visitors move through the site: which pages get the most attention, where people drop off during registration, and how long a typical session lasts. We use the results to fix problems and improve layout. The data is aggregated and does not identify you personally.
Marketing
Marketing cookies support our promotional activity, including the 100% welcome bonus up to £250 with 500 free spins and our Friday reload offer. They limit how often you see the same advert, measure whether an advertising partner's campaign brought you to us, and can show you Casinoways adverts on other sites after you leave. We set these only if you opt in.
Third Party Cookies We Allow
We allow three categories of third-party cookies on casinoways-online.co.uk. Analytics providers help us count and understand traffic. Advertising networks deliver our promotional campaigns and measure their performance. Payment providers set cookies during deposits and withdrawals through Visa Debit, Mastercard, Skrill, Neteller, and our supported crypto options so that transactions can be verified securely.
Every third party that sets cookies through our site must have its own privacy policy, which we link to in the cookie banner. Each of these parties processes the data under its own terms, and you can withdraw consent for them at any time from your browser settings or from the preference centre on our site.
Cookie Types at a Glance
The table below summarises every category we use, what it does, how long it stays on your device, and how to switch it off.
| Cookie type | Purpose | Duration | Opt-out |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Login, security, session handling | Session to 30 days | Cannot be disabled |
| Functional | Language, currency, preferences | 90 days | Via banner or browser settings |
| Analytics | Aggregated site usage statistics | 90 days | Via banner or browser settings |
| Marketing | Retargeting and campaign measurement | Up to 365 days | Via banner or browser settings |
Manage Your Cookie Preferences
On our site
When you first visit, our banner asks you to accept all cookies or reject everything except the strictly necessary ones. You can also open the detailed preference centre and pick categories individually. Your choice is stored, and a link in the site footer lets you reopen the banner and change your mind at any time.
In your browser
Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies entirely.
- Chrome: Settings, then Privacy and security, then Third-party cookies and site data.
- Safari: Settings, then Privacy, where you can block all cookies or prevent cross-site tracking.
- Firefox: Settings, then Privacy & Security, then choose your cookie behaviour under Enhanced Tracking Protection.
- Edge: Settings, then Cookies and site permissions, then Manage and delete cookies.
What happens if you block cookies
Blocking strictly necessary cookies will break core functions: you will not stay logged in, deposits may fail, and some pages may not load correctly. Blocking functional cookies means re-selecting your language and currency each visit. Blocking analytics or marketing cookies has no effect on gameplay; you simply stop seeing personalised Casinoways adverts, which we accept without complaint.
How Long We Keep Cookies
Session cookies are deleted the moment you close your browser. Persistent cookies last for a fixed period and then expire on their own: strictly necessary cookies up to 30 days, functional and analytics cookies for 90 days, and marketing cookies for a maximum of 365 days. You can shorten any of these by clearing cookies manually in your browser at any point.
Updates to this policy
If we add a new cookie category or a new third-party service, we update this page and change the version date at the top. For significant changes we show the consent banner again so you can review your choices before the new cookies are set. Questions about this policy go to [email protected], where our team answers around the clock.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Casinoways use cookies to track my gameplay?
No. Analytics cookies record aggregated site usage only. What you play, stake, or win is tied to your account, not to advertising cookies, and is governed by our privacy policy.
Can I play without accepting any cookies?
You can reject everything except strictly necessary cookies and still play. Only the essential session and security cookies are compulsory, because the site cannot function without them.
How do I delete cookies already on my device?
Use your browser's clearing tools under settings, or open our cookie banner from the footer and reset your preferences, which replaces the stored consent cookie.
Do you sell my cookie data to advertisers?
No. Marketing cookies are used to measure and limit our own campaigns, never to sell your data. Each third party operates under its own published privacy policy.
Will rejecting marketing cookies affect my bonuses?
No. Your welcome bonus, cashback, and reload offers are tied to your account, not to cookie consent. You receive them exactly the same either way.
