How GambleGrade Uses Cookies

What Cookies Are

Cookies are small data files that a website stores on your device. They work like a memory tool - letting the site remember your preferences, keep things running smoothly, and track how visitors use the platform.

Cookies on GambleGrade

I use cookies here for a few key reasons:

• Keeping the site secure and reliable - managing your session, blocking misuse
• Making pages load faster and navigation feel seamless
• Tracking which casino ratings and explanations you actually read
• Recognizing when you click through to a casino so I can see if you sign up or deposit

The Three Types of Cookies Used Here

Essential Cookies

These make the site work - keeping you logged in, enforcing limits, remembering form data. Without them, parts of the site won't load or will behave strangely.

Analytics Cookies

I track which pages get visited, how long you stay, and how you move between ratings and score breakdowns. This shows me what's helpful and where readers get confused. All the data stays combined - no individual tracking profiles.

Affiliate Tracking Cookies

When you click a link to a casino from this site, the affiliate network drops a cookie that tags the visit as coming from GambleGrade. If you create an account or deposit money, I earn a commission. That cookie doesn't change your bonus, your terms, or your costs - unless the casino itself offers different promotions to different referral sources.

What Cookies Don't Do Here

GambleGrade does not use cookies to:

• Store passwords, card numbers, or personal financial details
• Access your casino accounts without your involvement
• Build profiles of your offline activity or create advertising targets

Managing Your Cookies

Every browser has built-in cookie controls in Settings or Privacy. You can:

• Delete cookies already stored on your device
• Block all new cookies (note: this may break some features)
• Allow specific sites and reject others

Turning off essential cookies will cause issues. You can safely disable analytics and affiliate cookies without affecting the ratings and scoring pages.

Cookies from Third Parties

I work with external providers - analytics platforms, content networks, and affiliate programs. Their cookies follow their own privacy policies, not mine. When their code runs, their terms govern what they collect.

Updates to This Policy

I update this page whenever my cookie practices change. Come back here to see the current version.
