Cookie Policy

Last updated: 16 June 2026

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how Royal Casino Advisor ("we", "us" or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website at royalcasinoadvisor.co.uk. It describes what these technologies are, the categories we set, why we set them, and the choices available to you when you visit us.

Royal Casino Advisor is an independent UK editorial portal publishing casino industry news, software provider reviews, game analysis and responsible gambling education. We are not a gambling operator and do not accept wagers or process bets. This policy is aligned with the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR).

Where cookies collect information that can identify you, or that is combined with other data to identify you, that processing is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which you should read alongside this document.

2. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device — your computer, tablet or phone — when you visit. They allow the site to recognise your device on subsequent visits or as you move between pages, and to store small pieces of information such as your preferences or whether you have already responded to a consent prompt.

We also use "similar technologies" that work in comparable ways, including pixels, tags, local storage and software development kits. In this policy, references to "cookies" should be read to include these related technologies where relevant.

Cookies are commonly described by two characteristics:

• First-party vs third-party. First-party cookies are set directly by Royal Casino Advisor. Third-party cookies are set by an external service we use on our pages — for example an analytics or advertising provider — under their own control and policies.
• Session vs persistent. Session cookies exist only for the duration of your browsing session and are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period, or until you delete them, so they can remember you on a later visit.

3. How we use cookies

We aim to keep our use of cookies modest and proportionate to the purpose of an independent editorial site. We use cookies to:

• Make the site work. Some cookies are essential for core functionality, security, load balancing and remembering whether you have made consent choices.
• Remember your preferences. Cookies can store choices such as your preferred region or language so that you do not have to set them again on every visit.
• Understand how visitors use the site. Analytics cookies help us measure traffic, see which articles and reviews are read most, and identify where pages can be improved. Where possible we favour privacy-respecting, aggregated analytics.
• Measure and serve advertising where applicable. If and when we display advertising, certain cookies may help measure performance and, in some cases, deliver more relevant adverts.

4. Types of cookies we use

The table below sets out the broad categories of cookies that may be used on this site, the purpose they serve, illustrative examples, and a typical duration. Specific cookies and durations can change as we update the services we rely on.

Category	Purpose	Examples	Duration
Strictly necessary	Enable core site functionality and security, and remember your consent choices so the cookie banner is not shown repeatedly.	Session identifier, security/load-balancing token, consent preference cookie.	Session / persistent
Performance & analytics	Measure traffic and understand how visitors use the site so we can improve our content and structure.	Privacy-respecting or aggregated analytics cookies recording page views and referrers.	Up to ~2 years
Functionality	Remember preferences you have set, so the site behaves the way you expect on return visits.	Region or language preference, display or accessibility settings.	Up to ~1 year
Advertising / targeting	Measure advertising performance and, where used, help deliver more relevant advertising. Set only if and when advertising is active on the site.	Ad measurement and frequency-capping cookies from advertising partners.	Varies

5. Consent & managing cookies

When you first visit Royal Casino Advisor, a cookie banner gives you a clear choice. You can accept or reject non-essential cookies before any of them are set. Non-essential cookies — such as analytics, functionality and advertising cookies — are only placed on your device once you have given your consent.

You can change your mind at any time. Re-opening the cookie settings from the banner, or clearing the relevant cookies in your browser, lets you grant or withdraw consent for any category. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you did so.

Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent, because the site cannot function correctly without them. These are always active, including the cookie that remembers your consent choices.

6. Managing cookies in your browser

In addition to our on-site controls, you can manage and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you view stored cookies, delete them, and block some or all cookies for specific sites or in general. The relevant settings are usually found under privacy or security options:

• Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data.
• Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data.
• Apple Safari: Preferences/Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data; on iOS, Settings → Safari.
• Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies and site data.

Please note that blocking or deleting certain cookies may affect how the site works — for example, you may need to set your preferences again, or some features may not behave as expected.

7. Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal that expresses a preference not to be tracked across websites. There is currently no agreed industry standard for how DNT signals should be interpreted, so our site does not respond to them differently. You can still control cookies using our consent banner and your browser settings as described above.

8. Third-party cookies

Where we use external services — such as analytics or, where applicable, advertising providers — those third parties may set their own cookies on your device. We do not control these cookies, and their use is governed by the third party's own cookie and privacy policies. We encourage you to review the policies of any such providers for details of how they collect and use information.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the technologies we use, in the law, or in our editorial practices. When we make changes, we will revise the "Last updated" date shown at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
