Cookies Policy

What is a cookie

A cookie is a small data file stored on your device when you visit a website. Cookies enable sites to recognise returning visitors, track performance and, in certain cases, tailor content. We also rely on similar technologies including local storage and pixel tags — for clarity, we refer to all of these as "cookies" throughout this policy.

Cookie categories we use

Strictly necessary

These cookies are essential for PlayUKSlots to function. They store your consent preferences, distribute traffic across our servers and maintain site security. They cannot be disabled.

Analytics

These cookies help us understand which pages attract the most readers, how long visitors spend on the site and where traffic originates. We use this information to refine our reviews and improve site navigation. Analytics data is aggregated and does not personally identify you.

Affiliate attribution

When you click a tracked link to a listed operator, we and our affiliate partners set a cookie to record the click so that any subsequent sign-up is correctly attributed. These cookies do not share your name or email with the operator — they simply confirm the referral came from PlayUKSlots.

Preferences

Preference cookies remember minor settings that enhance your experience, such as whether you have closed a notification banner or which table layout you prefer.

Managing cookies

You may update your consent preferences at any time via the cookie settings link in the footer. Alternatively, you can manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to reject all cookies, accept only first-party cookies, or receive a prompt before any cookie is placed. Be aware that blocking strictly necessary cookies may impair site functionality.

Third-party cookies

Some cookies originate from third parties we collaborate with — analytics providers, affiliate tracking platforms and content delivery networks. Each third party maintains its own privacy and cookie policies and bears responsibility for the cookies it sets. We list current third parties in our consent banner for your review prior to acceptance.

Do Not Track

Certain browsers transmit a "Do Not Track" signal. No universal standard dictates how this signal should be interpreted, but we treat it as a request to deactivate non-essential analytics and marketing cookies for the duration of your session.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when our cookie technology changes. The current version is always available on this page. Our cookie banner will re-prompt you if a material update requires renewed consent.
