Scope of This Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Winningz Casino uses cookies and similar technologies on our platform. It applies to all cookies and similar technologies including local storage, pixels, and software development kits. The policy covers how we collect, store, and use this data across our services. Our operator is the party responsible for first-party technologies used on our site.
This document details the specific technologies we employ and their functions. We classify these technologies based on their purpose and necessity for site operation. Each category serves a distinct function ranging from essential site functionality to user preference management. We ensure transparency about the data we collect and how it supports our services.
Our Cookie Policy works in conjunction with our main Privacy Policy which covers broader data processing activities. The Privacy Policy outlines our legal basis for processing personal data and your rights regarding your information. Together these documents provide a complete picture of our data practices. You should read both policies to understand how we use your data.
We may update this policy periodically to reflect changes in technology or legal requirements. Any significant changes will be communicated through our website and email to our users. Continued use of our services after such changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. We recommend checking this policy regularly for the latest information on our data practices.
Cookie Categories and Functions
We categorise all technologies based on their function and necessity. These categories are strictly necessary, functional or preference, performance and analytics, and marketing or targeting. Only strictly necessary technologies operate without your explicit consent, as they are required to provide the service you have requested. The other categories remain inactive until you provide a clear affirmative action to accept them.
Essential and Functional Tools
Strictly necessary technologies enable core features such as logging in, adding items to a basket, and processing payments. Without these, the website cannot function correctly, and you would be unable to access your account. Functional or preference technologies allow the site to remember your language settings and other choices. These improve your experience but do not involve third-party tracking or data sharing with external partners.
| Category | Purpose | Can it be refused |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary | Authentication and security | No |
| Performance | Site usage statistics | Yes |
| Marketing | Targeted advertising | Yes |
Analytics and Targeting
Performance and analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the platform. This data allows us to identify errors and improve the user interface. Marketing technologies track your journey across the web to display relevant offers from us. These tools are never essential for the transaction of gambling services and can be declined without loss of core functionality.
Third-Party Technologies
Our platform integrates services from external providers to deliver payment processing and game content. These third parties may place their own cookies or access local storage when you use their integrated tools. The purposes of these technologies are determined solely by the third party and may differ from our internal policies. They often serve their own marketing or analytical needs rather than our direct operational requirements.
When you interact with a payment processor, for example, they may set a cookie to verify the security of your transaction. Similarly, game providers may use tracking to ensure the software runs correctly on your device. We do not control these technologies once they are active on your device. You should refer to the privacy notices of those specific providers to understand their full data processing practices.
The distinction is important because your consent to our marketing cookies does not automatically extend to third-party tracking. A third-party analytics provider might collect data even if you have declined our specific marketing campaigns. This is why we include specific details about these partners in the consent management tool. We only load third-party scripts after you have accepted the relevant category in our banner.
Understanding this dynamic helps you make informed decisions about your digital footprint. If you block all third-party cookies in your browser settings, some integrated services may fail to load. This could prevent you from playing games or making deposits. We recommend managing your preferences through our interface rather than blocking at the browser level for a smoother experience.
Cookie Duration and Retention
Cookies differ significantly in how long they persist on your device after you close your browser. Session cookies are temporary and are deleted automatically when you end your browsing session. This applies to technologies that maintain your login state or the contents of your shopping basket. They do not store personal data beyond the duration of your current interaction with the site.
Persistent cookies remain on your device until they reach a specific expiration date or until you delete them manually. These are often used to remember your login credentials or your consent choices for future visits. We set specific durations for these files based on the functional requirement of the technology. For example, a preference cookie might last for one year, while an authentication token may expire after twenty-four hours.
We retain records of your consent status for a period that complies with our regulatory obligations. This ensures that we can prove we asked for permission and respected your choice at the time of collection. If you change your mind, the new record overwrites the old one, but the history of the change is kept. This practice supports transparency and accountability in our data processing operations.
The retention period for analytics data is typically longer to allow for trend analysis over time. However, this data is anonymised and cannot be used to identify specific individuals. Once the retention period expires, the data is permanently deleted from our systems. This ensures that we do not hold information for longer than is strictly necessary for the purpose it was collected.
Managing Your Consent
On your first visit, a banner will appear asking for your permission to use non-essential cookies. This tool allows you to select exactly which categories you wish to accept. We do not process personal data or set non-essential tracking files until you provide this affirmative action. Your default setting is to decline all non-essential categories until you change it.
How to Withdraw Consent
You may change your mind at any time using the cookie management settings available on every page. This link opens the same interface you saw on your first visit. Selecting a new preference immediately updates your status and stops the processing of the categories you have removed. There is no need to contact support to withdraw your marketing consent.
| Action | Effect | Speed |
|---|---|---|
| Accept All | Enables all non-essential cookies | Instant |
| Decline All | Blocks marketing and analytics | Instant |
| Customise | Selects specific categories | Instant |
Withdrawing consent does not erase the data we have already collected while it was active. This historical data remains on our servers unless you exercise your right to erasure under the Privacy Policy. Future processing will stop for the categories you have removed, and new cookies will not be set. This applies retroactively to the moment of withdrawal for all new interactions.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology or legal requirements. The date at the top of the document indicates when the last material changes were made. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we manage your data. Significant changes will be communicated via the site banner or email if we have your contact details.
A continued visit to our website after an update implies that you accept the new terms. We do not ask for explicit consent again for every minor wording change. However, if the update involves a change in how we process your data, we will seek fresh consent. This ensures that your rights remain protected while we maintain operational stability.
The update process is designed to be transparent and easy to navigate. You will always see a summary of what has changed before you accept the new policy. We avoid burying important details in the footer or hidden links. Our goal is to ensure you understand the implications of any change before you proceed.
We reserve the right to modify the policy to comply with new laws or regulatory guidance. If a change is legally required, we will implement it immediately. You will be notified of the change through the standard channels described above. Continuing to use the service after the effective date constitutes your agreement to the updated terms.
Browser-Level Controls
Most web browsers offer settings that allow you to block cookies or clear them automatically. These controls operate independently of the consent tool we provide on the site. You can choose to block all cookies or only third-party cookies depending on your privacy needs. This gives you a high level of control over your digital environment.
However, blocking strictly necessary technologies will disrupt the functionality of the website. You will be unable to log in, maintain a session, or make a deposit. The site will not be able to remember your preferences or verify your identity. If you block these technologies, you must clear them to regain access to your account.
Blocking cookies does not prevent us from collecting data if we are permitted by law. We may still process information based on a legitimate interest, such as fraud prevention. This is why we recommend using our consent tool rather than browser settings. The tool allows you to opt-out of specific categories without breaking the site's core features.
If you are unsure about how to manage these settings, the contacts page provides direct support. Our team can guide you through the steps to change your browser configuration. We also recommend checking the help sections of your specific browser software. This ensures you understand the full scope of the changes you are making.
