1. What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files stored on your browser or device when you visit a website. They help websites remember preferences, maintain sessions, and understand usage patterns. Some cookies are deleted at the end of your session, while others stay on your device for a defined period. Cookies can be set by the website you visit directly or by third-party services integrated into pages.
Cookies do not usually contain direct identity data on their own, but in some cases they can be linked with other technical information and treated as personal data. For this reason, we explain our cookie use clearly and give users controls where required.
2. How We Use Cookies
TopCasinoPortal uses cookies to run essential website functions, measure traffic, improve page performance, and remember basic preferences. Essential cookies support features such as security checks and user-interface stability. Optional analytics cookies help us understand which pages are useful and where users drop off, allowing us to improve content structure and readability. Functional cookies can remember certain settings to make navigation smoother for returning visitors.
We do not use cookies to process gambling transactions because we are not a gambling operator. We use cookie data to improve editorial and technical quality of this comparison platform.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
Essential cookies: Required for core website operation, including page delivery, session continuity, and basic security protections. These cannot usually be disabled without affecting functionality.
Analytics cookies: Used to understand aggregated visitor behaviour, such as pages viewed and session duration. These help us improve content quality and navigation flow.
Functional cookies: Remember choices like consent preferences and certain display settings so users do not need to repeat actions on each visit.
Advertising cookies: May be used by partner technologies where permitted to measure campaign effectiveness and referral performance. We seek consent before non-essential advertising cookies are set.
4. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies may be set by third-party service providers we use for analytics, infrastructure, or referral tracking. These providers process data under their own privacy policies and contractual terms. We select services that support compliance and apply reasonable safeguards, but we do not control every processing decision made by third-party platforms once data is shared according to configured settings.
Third-party cookies can change over time as tools are updated. We review integrations periodically and update this policy when significant changes occur.
5. Managing Cookies in Browsers
You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. Most browsers let you block all cookies, block specific categories, clear stored cookies, or receive alerts before cookies are set. Blocking essential cookies may affect website performance or prevent certain features from working.
Browser help pages: Google Chrome settings, Mozilla Firefox privacy controls, Apple Safari privacy settings, and Microsoft Edge cookie controls provide detailed instructions. Managing cookies at browser level applies per browser and per device, so you may need to repeat settings changes across your devices.
6. Consent and Withdrawal
Where required by law, we request consent before setting optional cookies such as analytics, functional, or advertising cookies. You can accept or decline optional categories through the cookie banner on our website. Your preference is stored and can be changed later by clearing cookies or revisiting consent controls where available.
Withdrawing consent does not affect processing already carried out lawfully before withdrawal. Essential cookies may still operate because they are required for site functionality and security.
7. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect legal changes, new technologies, or updates to the services we use. If updates are significant, we will revise this page and, where appropriate, provide additional notice. Continued use of the website after updates indicates acceptance of the revised policy. We recommend reviewing this page periodically so you remain informed.
