This Cookie Policy explains how Alderney Casino (“we”, “us”, “our” or “the Website”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit or use https://alderney-casino.com/.
It should be read together with our [Privacy Policy] and [Terms and Conditions].
By selecting “Accept All” in our cookie banner, you consent to our use of optional cookies as described in this policy. You can accept, reject or manage non-essential cookies at any time through the cookie settings available on the Website.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet or other device when you visit a website. They help websites function properly, remember user choices, understand how visitors use pages and, where permitted, support relevant advertising.
We may also use similar technologies, including pixels, tags, local storage and software development kits. In this policy, we refer to all of these collectively as “cookies”.
Cookies may be:
- Session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them.
- First-party cookies, which are set directly by Alderney Casino.
- Third-party cookies, which are set by an external provider whose tools, content or services are used on our Website.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies to operate the Website securely and efficiently and, where you give consent, to improve content, measure performance and support marketing activity.
The categories of cookies we may use are described below.
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the Website to operate. They may enable security features, page navigation, load balancing, cookie-consent preferences and other core functions.
Because these cookies are necessary for the Website to provide the service you request, they cannot normally be switched off through our cookie preference tool.
Preference Cookies
Preference cookies remember choices you make, such as your cookie settings, language or display preferences. They help us provide a more consistent and convenient browsing experience.
We will ask for your consent before using preference cookies where consent is required.
Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the Website. For example, they may show which pages are visited, how users reach the Website, how long users stay on a page and whether technical errors occur.
We use this information in aggregated form to improve Website structure, content and performance. We will not place analytics cookies on your device unless you have given your consent.
Marketing Cookies
Marketing cookies may be used to measure the effectiveness of advertising and affiliate activity, limit how often advertisements are displayed, and help make promotional content more relevant.
These cookies may be set by us or by third-party advertising, analytics or affiliate partners. They may track your browser across different websites. We will only use marketing cookies where you have provided your consent.
3. Cookie List
The cookies used on the Website may change as our services, providers and technical tools change. The table below should be reviewed and completed before publication to reflect the cookies actually in use.
| Cookie / provider | Category | Purpose | Duration | First or third party |

We recommend auditing the Website using your consent-management platform, browser developer tools or a specialist cookie scanner before publishing this page. Do not list Google Analytics, advertising networks, affiliate trackers or other third parties unless they are genuinely active on the Website.
4. Third-Party Cookies
Some third-party services may place cookies on your device when you use the Website. These may include analytics providers, advertising networks, affiliate partners, embedded-video platforms, social-media services or other technology providers.
Where third-party cookies are used, we will identify the relevant provider in our cookie settings or in the cookie list above. Third parties process information in accordance with their own privacy and cookie policies, and we encourage you to read those policies before using their services.
We do not control third-party cookies once they have been placed. You can manage your consent through our cookie settings and, in some cases, directly through the provider’s own privacy controls.
5. Your Cookie Choices
When you first visit the Website, you can choose whether to accept or reject non-essential cookies. Our cookie banner provides an equal and clear opportunity to:
- Accept all optional cookies.
- Reject all optional cookies.
- Choose cookie categories individually.
- Save or change your preferences.
Strictly necessary cookies may still operate because they are required to deliver and secure the Website.
You can withdraw or change your consent at any time by selecting [Cookie Settings] in the Website footer or through the cookie-management tool available on the Website. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before your withdrawal.
6. Browser Controls
Most browsers allow you to view, block or delete cookies through their settings. Please note that blocking certain cookies may affect the Website’s functionality, appearance or performance.
You can find instructions in your browser’s help section. The exact method varies by browser and device.
7. Personal Data
Some cookies may collect or relate to personal data, such as an online identifier, IP address, device information or browsing activity. Where this occurs, we process such information in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable UK data-protection law.
For further information about how we collect, use, store and protect personal data, please read our [Privacy Policy].
