Cookie Policy

How cookies are used on slotnotongamstop.uk, what tools such as Google Analytics collect, and how to manage your cookie settings through the browser.

What cookies are

Nobody opens a cookie page for fun, so slotnotongamstop.uk gets straight to the point: what they are, how we use them here, and what you can do about them. By carrying on browsing, you consent to the cookies described on this page.

They are small text files dropped onto your device the moment you land on a site. Some hold onto what you chose last time, others let us see how people move from one page to the next. What none of them hold is anything personal, no name, no email, no payment details, and you can wipe them whenever you like from your device settings.

The cookies we use

Some cookies are essential and the site simply will not stand without them. They carry the navigation between pages, access to secure areas, and session management, so they are set automatically when you arrive and cannot be switched off. Without them, the page you are reading would not behave as intended.

Alongside the essential ones, we use three further kinds:

  • Analytics cookies: record visited pages, time spent and clicked links in anonymised form, processed through Google Analytics with retention of up to 26 months
  • Functional cookies: keep the choices you make on the site, such as language or region, last up to 12 months, and activate only when you use a feature that needs them
  • Third-party cookies: set by external services embedded in the pages, including analytics providers and embedded content widgets

Switch off functional cookies and some elements may not behave as expected, though the main content stays accessible. Over third-party cookies we have no control, so read their own policies before clicking any external link.

A note on what we do not track

Because this site carries no casino listings and no affiliate links, there is no affiliate tracking on these pages. That is a deliberate choice, not an oversight. Some sites in this corner of the web load trackers that follow you toward operators, and we do not.

What that means for you is fewer moving parts and less of your activity passed onward. The analytics we do run exist to tell us which pages help and which need rewriting, never to build a profile of you. A statistic that shows a page losing readers halfway is all we are after.

Managing your cookies

Control stays with you, and it lives in your browser settings. Block everything, keep only first-party cookies, or ask to be warned before anything is stored, whichever you prefer, though the menu that holds those choices hides in a different spot in each browser.

Here is where the setting sits in the common ones:

  • In Chrome open Settings, then Privacy and security, then Cookies
  • In Safari open Settings and then the Privacy tab
  • In Firefox open Settings, then Privacy and security, where permissions can be set for individual sites

Clearing your cookies removes all stored data and may mean setting your preferences again on your next visit. Mobile browsers give similar options through their own settings menus.

How cookies sit alongside your data

Essential cookies keep the site usable and hold your choice about the rest. Analytics cookies tell us how pages perform, and turning them off costs you nothing in the reading. Either way you manage them from your browser, blocking them outright or clearing them once they have been placed.

Start from so little and there is not much any cookie can reveal, so the privacy cost here stays low. Your data is not for sale and never goes to advertisers. What we hold runs the site, and that is the whole of it.

Updates to this policy

This page changes when our practice or the rules behind it change. The date at the top tells you at a glance how fresh it is. Glance at it twice a year and you will not miss anything.
