A breakdown of the cookies this site sets, what they do, and how to disable them. Policy effective 11 February 2026.

What Cookies Are

Cookies are small data files that websites store on your device. They work like a memory - allowing sites to keep track of your choices, run essential features, and understand how visitors use the platform.

Cookies on This Platform

I use cookies on GambleGrade for specific purposes:

  • Keeping the site working smoothly and safely - session management, fraud prevention
  • Making pages load faster and navigation easier
  • Tracking which casino scores and explanations get the most attention
  • Recording when you click through to a casino so I can monitor signups and deposits

The Three Cookie Types Here

Essential Cookies

These make the platform function - login sessions, form data, security checks. Without them, parts of the site won't work properly.

Analytics Cookies

I track page visits, session duration, and how you navigate between ratings and details. This helps me improve what works. All data is kept in aggregate form - no individual tracking profiles.

Affiliate Tracking Cookies

When you follow a link to a casino from here, the affiliate network places a cookie that marks the referral as coming from GambleGrade. If you sign up or deposit, I earn a commission. This cookie does not change your bonus terms, deposit conditions, or any pricing - unless the casino itself offers different promotions to different referral sources.

What Cookies Do Not Do

GambleGrade does not use cookies to:

  • Collect passwords, card numbers, or sensitive banking information
  • Access your casino accounts
  • Build advertising profiles or track your activity outside this site

Managing Your Cookies

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

  • Delete cookies already stored on your device
  • Block all new cookies (note: this breaks some site features)
  • Allow cookies from specific sites only

Turning off essential cookies will cause problems. You can safely disable analytics and affiliate cookies without affecting the core rating pages.

Cookies from Third Parties

I work with external services - analytics platforms, content networks, affiliate programs. Their cookies follow their own privacy policies, not mine. When you interact with their code, their terms apply to what they collect.

When This Policy Updates

I update this page whenever cookie practices change. Check back here for the most recent version.
