This cookie policy explains how Blockspinscasino.org.uk uses cookies while you browse our independent coverage of Blockspins. We are an information portal, not the operator, so everything below concerns cookies set by this site rather than anything that happens once a reader visits Blockspins' own platform.
What a cookie actually is
A cookie is a small text file your browser stores when you visit a website. It doesn't run programs or carry viruses — it simply lets a site remember something between visits, such as a preference or a return visit. Some cookies vanish when you close the tab; others sit quietly on your device for weeks or months.
We use a handful of cookies to keep this portal working properly and to understand, in broad terms, which pages get read. None of them are tied to a Blockspins account, because we don't have access to those in the first place.
Types of cookies this site sets
| Category | Purpose | Consent needed |
|---|---|---|
| Necessary | Keeps the site functioning – navigation, security, load balancing | No |
| Analytics | Aggregated stats on page views and time on site | Yes |
| Marketing & advertising | Measures how affiliate links perform | Yes |
| Preference | Remembers settings like language or region | No |
Necessary and preference cookies
These are the quiet workhorses. Without them, pages might not load correctly, or you'd lose your settings every time you refreshed. They can't be switched off without breaking parts of the site.
Analytics and marketing cookies
These only run with your consent. They tell us, in aggregate, which articles get read and whether a link to an external resource was clicked. We never use them to build a profile of any individual visitor.
Third-party cookies on this portal
Some cookies come from services we embed rather than from us directly — an analytics provider, for instance, or a script that measures outbound link performance. These third parties set their own cookies under their own privacy terms, which we don't control. We link to the relevant policy where one is embedded, and we keep the list of third-party scripts to the minimum needed to run the site.
Managing cookies in your browser
You're free to accept, block or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. Here's roughly where to look:
- Chrome – Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Firefox – Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari – Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Edge – Settings → Cookies and site permissions
Blocking cookies entirely may mean parts of this portal don't behave as expected – a saved preference might not stick, for example. Blocking analytics and marketing cookies specifically won't affect your ability to read anything on the site.
Consent and what happens if you decline
When you first land on this portal, a banner asks for your consent to analytics and marketing cookies. Declining doesn't lock you out of any content – it simply means we won't collect the aggregated usage data those cookies provide. Necessary cookies apply regardless, since the site can't function without them.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy if the cookies we use change, or if the law around them does. Any revision will be posted here with a new effective date, so it's worth checking back occasionally rather than assuming nothing has moved.
