Cookie policy
How browser storage works on this site.
1. What this policy covers
This cookie policy explains how Gamblingcrate15 uses cookies and similar storage technologies when you browse the site. It should be read alongside our privacy policy because both documents describe how we handle information connected with your visit. We aim to keep cookie use narrow, practical and proportionate to an editorial comparison website.
2. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files or similar browser storage entries placed on your device when you visit a website. They can remember choices, improve functionality, support measurement and help maintain site security. Local storage entries can serve a similar purpose by saving limited information directly in your browser.
3. Essential preference storage
The most important storage items on Gamblingcrate15 remember whether you have confirmed that you are aged 18 or over and whether you accepted the cookie banner. These settings reduce repeated prompts while you move between pages. Without them, the site would repeatedly show the age overlay and cookie prompt in ways that make normal use unnecessarily awkward.
4. Performance and measurement
We may use limited analytics or technical measurement tools to understand broad traffic trends, page performance and reading behaviour. This helps us identify broken layouts, improve navigation and understand which editorial sections are most useful. We do not use cookies to build invasive behavioural profiles for gambling advertising.
5. Third-party services
Some services integrated into or supporting the site may set their own cookies or use similar technologies. For example, a hosting provider, analytics provider or embedded resource may process limited technical information. These third parties operate under their own policies and controls, so readers should review those terms where relevant.
6. Managing your choices
You can control cookies through the banner where available, your browser settings, and device-level privacy controls. Most browsers let you block, delete or restrict cookies. Clearing browser storage may remove age confirmation and consent settings, which means the site will ask for those actions again on a later visit.
7. Consent and withdrawal
Where consent is required for non-essential cookies, we aim to request it before those tools are used. You may withdraw consent later by changing your browser settings or clearing stored items. Withdrawal will not affect prior processing that was lawful before the change.
8. Contact about cookie questions
If you have a question about our use of cookies or local storage, contact dataprotection@gamblingcrate15.co.uk. We will review the query and, where needed, explain the role of a specific storage item or update this policy for clarity.
