What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your browser or device. They hold simple data, such as a session identifier or a saved preference, so the site can recognize your browser on later page loads. Similar technologies, like local storage and pixels, work in a comparable way and are covered by this policy too. Cookies do not run code and cannot read other files on your device. They can be session cookies, which disappear when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which stay until they expire or you delete them.

Why we use them

We use cookies to keep the guide working, to understand which pages readers find useful, and to measure how visitors reach us. This helps us fix broken pages, improve explanations, and keep the site fast. Some cookies come from third parties, such as analytics and affiliate-tracking providers. We do not use cookies to identify you personally by name. Where the law requires your consent, we ask before setting non-essential cookies.

Categories of cookies

Essential cookies keep the site secure and remember your consent choices. Without them, basic functions fail, so they cannot be switched off. Analytics cookies collect aggregated data on page views, session length, and traffic sources. Affiliate cookies record that a visit originated here when you follow a link to a partner, so referrals can be credited correctly. Marketing cookies may be set by third parties to show more relevant content or measure campaign performance across sites. Analytics, affiliate, and marketing cookies are optional and only run if you allow them.

How to manage cookies in your browser

Every major browser lets you view, block, or delete cookies in its settings, usually under Privacy or Security. You can block all cookies, block only third-party cookies, or clear them on exit. Many browsers also offer private browsing, which discards cookies when the window closes. Be aware that blocking essential cookies may break parts of the site, and deleting cookies will reset your saved preferences. Because steps differ by browser and device, check the help section of the one you use.

Withdrawing consent

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time. Reopen the cookie preferences panel from the link in the site footer and switch off any optional category. Your updated choice applies going forward, and you may also delete cookies already stored through your browser settings. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that took place before you changed your mind. This guide is for readers aged 21 or over where required by law. If gambling is causing you problems, free, confidential support is available through the National Problem Gambling Helpline in the United States.
