Cookie Policy

What This Policy Covers

When you visit https://betzino-casino-uk.com, small data files known as cookies are placed on your device. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which ones we use, why we use them, and how you can control them. It applies to all pages and services available through our website and forms part of our broader Privacy Policy, which you can read at https://betzino-casino-uk.com/privacy-policy/.

By continuing to use our site after being presented with the cookie consent notice, you agree to our use of cookies as described below. Where cookies require your explicit consent under the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) 2003 and the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), we will not set those cookies unless you have actively accepted them.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files saved to your browser or device when you access a website. They allow websites to recognise your device on return visits, remember your preferences, and collect information about how you interact with site content.

Cookies are not executable programmes and cannot carry viruses or install malware. They are used across virtually all websites and form the technical backbone of many features you rely on day to day, from staying logged in to your account to keeping items in a shopping basket.

In addition to cookies, we may also use similar technologies such as web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage objects. For simplicity, we refer to all of these collectively as “cookies” throughout this policy.

Who Sets Cookies on This Site?

Cookies on https://betzino-casino-uk.com are set either directly by us (first-party cookies) or by trusted third-party services that we use to run, analyse, and improve the site (third-party cookies). Where third parties set cookies, they do so under their own privacy and data policies. We have listed the relevant third parties and their purposes further below.

The data controller for first-party cookies on this site is Purple Bay B.V., the operator of Betzino Casino.

Categories of Cookies We Use

We group the cookies on our site into four categories based on their function. The table below gives a plain-language overview of each category.

1. Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off. Without them, services such as logging in to your account, accessing your balance, making deposits, and navigating between pages would not work.

Strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent under PECR. They are placed solely to deliver the service you have requested and are never used to track you for marketing purposes.

Examples of what these cookies do:

• Maintain your session while you are logged in
• Remember items in your session (for example, game state)
• Detect fraud and suspicious activity to protect your account
• Load-balance traffic across our servers so the site stays responsive
• Store your cookie preferences so we do not ask again on subsequent visits

Typical lifespan: session-based (deleted when you close your browser) or up to 12 months.

2. Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow the site to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personalised features. They are not strictly necessary but improve your experience in meaningful ways.

Examples of what these cookies do:

• Remember your preferred language or region setting
• Retain your preferred display settings within the casino lobby
• Store accessibility preferences you have selected
• Keep you logged in across visits if you have chosen that option

If you choose to disable functional cookies, some parts of the site may not behave as expected. Your experience may be reduced but the core services will remain available.

Typical lifespan: up to 12 months.

3. Analytics and Performance Cookies

We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors use our site. This helps us identify which pages are most visited, where users spend the most time, and where technical issues might be affecting the experience. All data collected through analytics cookies is aggregated and does not identify you personally.

These cookies are set only with your consent.

Third-party analytics providers we use include:

Google Analytics (Google LLC, operating under a UK Data Processing Agreement): tracks page views, sessions, traffic sources, and user behaviour on an anonymised basis. Google Analytics sets cookies including _ga, _gid, and _gat. Data is retained for up to 26 months. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Typical lifespan: up to 24 months.

4. Marketing and Targeting Cookies

Marketing cookies are used to deliver adverts that are relevant to you and your interests. They track your visits to our site and other websites to build a profile of your browsing habits, which is then used to show you targeted promotional content.

These cookies are only set with your explicit consent.

We do not allow third-party advertising networks to set cookies on our site without first obtaining your consent via our cookie management tool. Where consent is given, these cookies may be set by advertising partners who operate under their own privacy frameworks.

Marketing cookies used on our site may:

• Track whether you clicked on one of our adverts and then visited our site
• Help us measure the effectiveness of our promotional campaigns
• Support retargeting, allowing us to show our adverts on third-party sites you visit after leaving ours
• Prevent the same advert from being shown to you repeatedly

Typical lifespan: up to 12 months.

Cookies and Responsible Gambling Compliance

As a gambling operator, we have specific obligations under UK law and good practice guidelines to promote responsible gambling. Certain cookies on our site serve a compliance function rather than a purely commercial one:

• Session tracking cookies help us monitor the length of your gambling sessions. Where you have set session time limits or deposit limits within your account, cookies help enforce these settings across your visit.
• Self-exclusion enforcement: if you have chosen to self-exclude from our services, technical cookies are used to recognise your device and prevent access.
• Age verification support: cookies assist in maintaining the integrity of our age-gating processes by tracking verification status within a session.

These compliance-related cookies are classified as strictly necessary and cannot be disabled.

Third-Party Cookies: Full List

Below is a summary of the main third-party cookies that may be placed on your device when you visit https://betzino-casino-uk.com. This list is reviewed and updated when new third-party services are added.

Where these providers process personal data, they do so as independent data controllers under their own privacy policies. We recommend reading those policies if you would like to understand how those organisations handle your data.

Your Rights and How to Manage Cookies

You have the right to decide which non-essential cookies are placed on your device. Below are the main ways to exercise that right.

Using Our Cookie Consent Tool

The first time you visit our site, you will be presented with a cookie banner that allows you to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or make granular choices by category. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer of any page on our site.

Please note that withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before you withdrew it.

Browser Settings

All major browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings. You can usually find these options under “Privacy”, “Security”, or “Site Settings” in your browser menu. Common options include:

• Blocking all cookies
• Blocking only third-party cookies
• Clearing cookies that have already been set
• Setting your browser to notify you when a cookie is about to be placed

Useful links for managing cookies in commonly used browsers:

• Google Chrome: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95647
• Mozilla Firefox: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/cookies-information-websites-store-on-your-computer
• Safari: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/safari/sfri11471/mac
• Microsoft Edge: https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/manage-cookies-in-microsoft-edge

Blocking all cookies will affect how our site functions. Some features, including logging in and accessing your account, will not work if strictly necessary cookies are blocked.

Opting Out of Analytics

In addition to browser controls, you can opt out of Google Analytics tracking specifically by using the opt-out add-on mentioned above.

Opting Out of Interest-Based Advertising

You can opt out of interest-based advertising from participating companies through the following UK industry opt-out tools:

• Your Online Choices (EDAA): https://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/
• Network Advertising Initiative: https://optout.networkadvertising.org/

Opting out through these tools does not prevent adverts from appearing; it means the adverts you see will not be tailored to your browsing behaviour.

Cookies and Children

Our site is intended solely for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly use tracking or marketing cookies to profile individuals under the age of 18. If we become aware that a minor has accessed our site, we will take steps to disable any associated data collection. If you believe a child has accessed our site and their data has been collected, please contact us at [email protected].

Data Transfers Outside the UK

Some third-party cookies involve the transfer of data to servers outside the United Kingdom. Where this occurs, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place in line with UK GDPR requirements, including standard contractual clauses approved by the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) or adequacy decisions recognising the destination country’s data protection standards.

How Long We Retain Cookie Data

The retention period for data collected via cookies varies by cookie type. Strictly necessary and functional cookies are typically retained for the duration of a session or up to 12 months. Analytics and marketing cookies may retain data for up to 24 months, depending on the specific provider. Where cookies expire, the associated data is automatically deleted unless it has been aggregated into anonymised reporting.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, updates to applicable law, or changes in how we operate the site. When we make material changes, we will update the policy on this page and, where appropriate, prompt you to review and re-confirm your cookie preferences via our consent tool.
