How We Use Cookies
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies we set when you visit britsino-online.co.uk, why we use them, how long they stay on your device and how you can control them. Since we launched in 2023, we have kept this policy in plain language so you can make informed choices in a few minutes.
What Cookies Actually Are
A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your device when you visit. It stores a snippet of information, such as a session identifier or your chosen language, and sends it back to us on your next visit so the site recognises you.
Cookies are not programmes and cannot read files on your device or install anything. We also use technologies that work in a similar way, including local storage and pixels, and everything in this policy applies to them as well.
The Four Cookie Categories
Strictly necessary
These keep the site working and secure. Without them you could not log in, keep a session open across pages, or complete a deposit. They include session identifiers that confirm it is really you behind each request, authentication cookies issued when you sign in, and security cookies that protect against fraud and automated abuse. We do not ask for consent before setting these, because the site cannot function without them.
Functional
Functional cookies remember choices you have made so you do not repeat them. They store your language preference, your last selected currency between GBP and EUR, and settings such as whether you prefer the live casino lobby or the slots lobby first. Blocking them means the site still works, but your preferences reset each visit.
Analytics
Analytics cookies help us understand, in aggregate, how visitors move through the site: which pages load slowly, where players abandon a deposit, which game filters get used. The data is aggregated and cannot identify you personally. We use it to fix problems and improve the layout of our 1,200 games rather than to profile individuals.
Marketing
Marketing cookies support the offers you see, on our site and across the web. They allow us to measure whether a campaign for our 100% up to £100 welcome bonus or weekly cashback actually reached players who wanted it, and to avoid showing you the same advert repeatedly. These cookies are only set if you consent through our banner.
Examples of cookies we set
| Cookie type | Purpose | Duration | Opt-out |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Session ID, login and security | Session | No, required for the site |
| Strictly necessary | Fraud prevention and device check | Up to 365 days | No, required for the site |
| Functional | Language and currency preference | 90 days | Yes, via browser settings |
| Analytics | Aggregated site usage statistics | 30 days | Yes, via banner or browser |
| Marketing | Retargeting and campaign measurement | 90 days | Yes, via banner at any time |
Third Parties We Allow
Some cookies on our pages are set by trusted third parties rather than by us, and each of them is responsible for the data it collects under its own privacy policy. We only permit three categories.
Analytics providers process aggregated traffic data so we can measure site performance. Advertising networks set marketing cookies for campaign measurement and retargeting, but only after you consent. Payment providers set strictly necessary cookies during a deposit or withdrawal so that transactions with Visa Debit, PayPal, Trustly or Skrill complete securely; these never track your browsing and are not used for marketing.
We never allow third-party cookies that build profiles for purposes we have not disclosed, and we review the list of permitted providers at least once a year as part of our compliance work under our Malta Gaming Authority licence.
Manage Your Cookie Choices
On our site
When you first visit britsino-online.co.uk, our cookie banner lets you accept all categories or reject everything except strictly necessary cookies, with a granular option to toggle analytics and marketing separately. You can reopen the banner at any time via the "Cookie settings" link in the site footer, so your choice is never final.
In your browser
- Chrome: Settings, then Privacy and security, then Third-party cookies, and block or clear as you prefer.
- Safari: Settings, then Privacy, and use Manage Website Data to remove stored cookies.
- Firefox: Settings, then Privacy and Security, and choose your cookie handling 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 be logged out on every page change, deposits and withdrawals cannot be verified, and our 24/7 live chat may not open. Blocking functional cookies simply resets your preferences each visit, and rejecting analytics or marketing cookies has no effect on game play, bonuses or payouts. You will never be denied access to your account or funds because you said no to marketing.
How Long Cookies Last
We keep each cookie no longer than its purpose requires. Session cookies are deleted the moment you close your browser, while persistent cookies carry an expiry date and remove themselves automatically when it passes.
The durations below are the maximum lifetimes; deleting your cookies manually at any point removes them sooner. If you have questions about a specific cookie, write to [email protected] and our team, available around the clock, will tell you exactly what it does.
| Category | Lifetime | Removed |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary (session) | Session | When you close your browser |
| Strictly necessary (security) | Up to 365 days | On expiry or manual deletion |
| Functional | Up to 90 days | On expiry or manual deletion |
| Analytics | Up to 30 days | On expiry or manual deletion |
| Marketing | Up to 90 days | On expiry, consent withdrawal or deletion |
Updates to This Policy
When we change the cookies we use, we update this policy and revise the date at the top of the page. For material changes, such as a new third-party category or a longer retention period, we also show our banner again so you can review and refresh your consent before any new cookie is set. If you withdraw consent, we stop setting that category of cookie immediately, though data already lawfully collected is kept only as long as our records require.
Frequently Asked Questions
