Cookies Policy

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files or similar data files that may be placed on your computer, mobile phone, tablet, or another device when you visit a website. They allow a website to recognise a device, remember certain information, and support features that might otherwise not work correctly. Some cookies are placed by the website you are visiting, while others may be placed by service providers that help operate, secure, measure, or improve the website.

Cookies can be temporary or persistent. Temporary cookies, sometimes called session cookies, generally remain on your device only while your browser is open or until you leave the website. Persistent cookies remain for a longer period or until they are deleted. The length of time a cookie remains active depends on its purpose, your browser settings, and the settings of the service that placed it.

We may also use technologies that perform a similar function to cookies, including pixels, tags, software development kits, local storage, and device identifiers. In this policy, we refer to cookies and these similar technologies together as cookies unless a different distinction is needed.

Why we use cookies

Cookies help us provide a consistent, secure, and useful online experience. Depending on the circumstances, they may help us remember your settings, keep pages functioning, understand how visitors use the website, protect against suspicious activity, and identify areas that could be improved. Cookies may also support communications or advertising activities where permitted by applicable law and your preferences.

A cookie does not usually contain information that directly identifies you by name. However, cookie information may be linked with other information that we hold about you, such as account, device, or usage information. When this occurs, the information will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable privacy requirements.

Types of cookies we may use

The cookies used on our website may vary over time as website features, security requirements, analytics services, and legal obligations change. The main categories are set out below. A cookie may fit more than one category, and the availability of some categories may depend on the choices you make.

Strictly necessary cookies

Strictly necessary cookies support the basic operation, security, and accessibility of the website. They may be used to maintain a session, remember security-related settings, route requests, prevent fraudulent activity, or help deliver pages and services that you have requested. Without these cookies, some parts of the website may not operate properly.

These cookies are generally required for the website to function and cannot always be disabled through our cookie preference tools. You may be able to block them through your browser, but doing so may prevent account, navigation, security, or other essential features from working as intended.

Functionality and preference cookies

Functionality cookies help remember choices you make, such as language, region, display, or other preferences. They may also help keep your experience consistent between visits. If you decline these cookies, the website may still be available, but you may need to repeat certain selections or some features may be less convenient.

Analytics and performance cookies

Analytics cookies provide information about how visitors use the website. For example, they may help us understand which pages are visited, whether links are used, how visitors move through the website, and whether pages load or function as expected. We use this type of information to monitor performance, find errors, improve content, and make the website easier to use.

Analytics information is generally collected in an aggregated or pseudonymous form. It may still be treated as personal information where it can reasonably be associated with an individual or device. Where consent is required, analytics cookies will be used in accordance with your selected preferences.

Advertising and marketing cookies

Advertising or marketing cookies may be used to understand interests, measure the effectiveness of promotional activity, limit repeated advertising, or present content that is more relevant to visitors. These cookies may be provided by us or by third parties acting on our behalf or independently. We will use these technologies only where permitted by applicable law and subject to any consent or preference requirements that apply.

Security, compliance, and fraud-prevention technologies

Cookies and similar technologies may help us protect the website, identify unusual activity, support account security, and meet legal or regulatory obligations. They may be used alongside other controls to help detect automated activity, attempted misuse, unauthorised access, or behaviour that could put players, the website, or our services at risk.

Your choices and cookie controls

When you first visit the website, you may be shown a cookie notice or preference tool. Where required, this tool allows you to accept, reject, or manage certain categories of non-essential cookies. Your selections may be stored in a cookie or similar file so that we can remember your preferences. If you clear your browser data, use another browser, or change devices, you may be asked to make your choices again.

You can usually change your choices through the cookie preference tool made available on the website. You may also control cookies using your browser or device settings. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, block, or restrict cookies, and may offer settings that notify you when a website tries to place a cookie. The exact steps differ between browsers and devices, so you should consult the relevant help or support information for your browser.

• Accept all available cookies through the consent or preference tool.
• Reject non-essential cookies where that option is available.
• Select particular categories of cookies according to your preferences.
• Delete cookies already stored on your device using your browser settings.
• Block future cookies, subject to the effect this may have on website functions.

Disabling or deleting cookies may affect the way the website works. For example, you may need to enter information again, lose saved preferences, experience reduced functionality, or be unable to use features that depend on secure session or authentication cookies. Blocking cookies may not remove all forms of data collection, because some services use other technologies or information sources.

Your cookie choices are separate from your account, marketing, or responsible gambling preferences. Changing cookie settings does not necessarily unsubscribe you from communications, close an account, or change any gaming-related settings. You should use the relevant controls or follow the applicable process for those matters.

Third parties, retention, and policy updates

Third-party services

Some cookies may be placed or read by third-party providers that support functions such as website hosting, security, analytics, customer support, performance monitoring, or advertising. These providers may process information in accordance with their own privacy notices and contractual obligations. We take reasonable steps to work with service providers that are expected to handle information appropriately, but third-party services may have separate settings and controls.

Third-party websites, applications, platforms, or content may also be available through links or features on our website. If you follow an external link or use a third-party service, that provider's privacy and cookie practices will apply. We recommend reviewing the relevant third-party information before providing personal information or allowing a third party to place technologies on your device.

How long cookies remain active

The retention period for a cookie depends on its purpose. Session cookies generally expire when a browsing session ends, while persistent cookies may remain for a longer period. We aim to use cookies for no longer than reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose, subject to operational, security, legal, and technical requirements. Information obtained through cookies may be retained in other systems for a different period where this is necessary for legitimate business, security, dispute, compliance, or record-keeping purposes.

Privacy and your information

Cookie information may include details such as your device type, browser, approximate location, IP address, pages viewed, referring pages, session activity, preferences, and interactions with the website. The information collected will depend on the cookies enabled and the features you use. Our Privacy Policy explains how personal information may be collected, used, disclosed, stored, and managed more broadly, including information that may be connected with cookie data.

If you have questions about how personal information is handled, or if you wish to exercise a privacy right available to you, please use the contact or support channel provided on the website. We may need to verify your request before taking action and will respond in accordance with applicable requirements.

Changes to this Cookies Policy

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our website, the cookies and services we use, technology, legal requirements, or our privacy practices. The updated version will be published on this page with a revised effective date where appropriate. You should review this page periodically so that you remain aware of how cookies are used and how your choices can be managed.

By continuing to use the website after an update, you acknowledge the updated information to the extent permitted by law. Where consent is required for a new or changed use of non-essential cookies, we will provide an appropriate choice or notice before using those cookies.
