Cookie Policy

Four categories of cookie, one of which you cannot turn off because the site would stop working. Everything else is optional and listed here in full.

What a cookie is

A cookie is a small text file a website asks your browser to store. It cannot run programs, read other files or carry a virus. It can remember a preference, count a visit or record that you arrived from a particular link.

Cookies used on this site

Four categories are in play, and only two of them are optional. The table below lists what each one does, who sets it and how long it survives before your browser drops it.

We set no advertising or retargeting cookies, and we do not build behavioural profiles for ad targeting.

Affiliate cookies specifically

When you follow a commercial link from the WinSpirit casino page, a cookie may record that the referral came from here so any commission is attributed correctly. It records the referral, not your gambling activity, and it does not follow you around the web. The commercial model behind it is set out in the affiliate disclosure. Blocking it costs you nothing, and it does not change your bonus or terms with the operator.

Managing cookies

You can accept, reject or later change your choice through the consent notice. You can also control cookies at browser level.

Blocking essential cookies may stop parts of the site working. Blocking analytics and affiliate cookies has no effect on what you can read.

Do Not Track

Browser Do Not Track signals are not applied consistently across the web. Our consent notice is the reliable control, and we honour the choice made there.

Changes to this policy

If we add or remove a cookie provider, this page is updated with a revised date. What we collect and why is described more broadly in the privacy policy, and the conditions of use in the terms and conditions.

Questions go through the contact page. The site is introduced on the about page and written by Dean Ryan, working to the editorial policy, the research method in how we test and the scoring framework in how we rate. Support services are listed under responsible gambling, and every page is indexed on the sitemap.
