Cookies – bankingcasinouk
bankingcasinouk compares payment methods rather than processing them, but the site you are reading still stores a handful of small files on your device, and this page sets out what they are and what choice you have over them.
What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file a website leaves in your browser so it can recognise that browser again later. Some are required simply to make a page work; others count visits or hold a setting you chose.
The legal basis in the UK
Cookies are governed by the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR), overseen by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). A cookie strictly necessary for the site to function can be set without consent; anything beyond that needs your consent unless an exemption applies. Where a cookie touches personal data, the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 apply as well, as described in our privacy policy.
Cookies we use
- Essential cookies keep basic functions running — for instance, holding a setting between pages. They cannot be turned off from within the site.
- Analytics cookies report, in aggregate, how many people read a page and where they arrived from. They do not identify you individually.
No cookie here is used for advertising, and none passes your browsing on to a gambling operator.
How long they last
Session cookies clear when the browser closes. Persistent analytics cookies expire on a fixed schedule, capped at 13 months.
Switching cookies off
Every major browser offers controls to view, block and delete cookies. Blocking the essential ones may break parts of the site; blocking analytics ones changes nothing about reading it.
