Cookie policy
Two cookies, both strictly necessary. No advertising cookies, no cross-site tracking, no data sold to anyone — and nothing non-essential without your consent.
What a cookie is
A small file a site stores in your browser. Some are needed for a page to function at all — these are "strictly necessary" and may be set without consent. Everything else (analytics, advertising, personalisation) requires your agreement first under the UK and EU rules.
Cookies this site sets
| Cookie | Purpose | Type | Expires |
|---|---|---|---|
| laravel-session | Keeps your browsing session together so forms and the licence check tool work | Strictly necessary | 120 minutes |
| XSRF-TOKEN | Security token that stops another site submitting a form here in your name | Strictly necessary | 120 minutes |
That is the complete list. Neither cookie carries a name, an e-mail or anything about your gambling; neither is read by a third party; neither follows you to other sites.
What we do not set
- No advertising or retargeting cookies, and no advertising network on any page.
- No cross-site tracking pixels, and no social media embeds that set cookies.
- No analytics cookie is set at present — see the note below.
- Following a link to an operator hands you over to that operator's site, which sets its own cookies under its own policy. We have no control over those, and they are not covered by this page.
How we count clicks without a cookie
We do need to know which pages send readers to operators — that is how the site is paid for. It is recorded on our own server as the link is followed, and the whole record is: the operator and offer clicked, the path of the page it was clicked from, the time, a device class (mobile, tablet or desktop) and the two-letter country our CDN reports.
No cookie is set for it, and no identifier is stored — not your IP address, not your browser's user agent string, nothing that could tie two clicks to the same person. That is why there is nothing here to consent to and no banner in the way: the measurement was designed to be anonymous rather than made anonymous afterwards.
No analytics tool is installed in this build, so there is nothing non-essential to consent to and no banner is shown. Before launch, a consent banner ships together with any analytics: nothing non-essential loads until you choose, rejecting is as easy as accepting, and this page is updated with the exact cookies involved.
Consent
Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent and cannot be switched off without breaking the site. Any future analytics or measurement cookie will load only after you accept it, will be as easy to refuse as to accept, and your choice will be re-asked no more than once a year. Browser signals such as Global Privacy Control are treated as a refusal.
Controlling cookies yourself
- Every major browser can block or delete cookies for a single site from the padlock icon in the address bar.
- Blocking the two cookies above will not stop you reading the site; forms may stop working.
- Private or incognito windows discard both cookies when you close them.
