How GambleGrade Uses Cookies

What Cookies Are

Cookies are small data files that a website stores on your device. They work as a memory tool - allowing the site to remember your preferences, maintain its core functions, and track visitor behaviour patterns.

Cookies on This Platform

I use cookies on GambleGrade for several purposes:

• Keeping the site stable and secure - session management, protection against misuse
• Improving page load speeds and smoothing your navigation
• Measuring visits and observing which ratings and explanations you spend time reading
• Recording when you click through to a casino so I can track whether a sign-up or deposit follows

The Three Cookie Categories Used Here

Operational Cookies

These keep the site running - login sessions, rate limiting, form data. Blocking them will prevent certain features from working properly.

Traffic and Usage Cookies

I record which pages you visit, how long your sessions last, and how you navigate between scores and explanations. This shows me what works and where users encounter difficulties. All data remains aggregated - I do not build individual profiles.

Referral Tracking Cookies

When you click through to a casino from GambleGrade, the affiliate network places a cookie that tracks the link source. If you sign up or deposit, I receive a commission. This cookie does not alter your bonus terms, deposit conditions, or pricing - unless the casino chooses to offer different deals to different referral sources.

What Cookies Do Not Do

GambleGrade does not use cookies to:

• Capture passwords, card numbers, or other sensitive account information
• Access your casino accounts on your behalf
• Track your offline activity or build advertising profiles

Taking Control of Cookies

All browsers include cookie controls within their Settings or Privacy sections. You can:

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

Disabling operational cookies will cause functionality issues. Analytics and referral cookies can be turned off without affecting the core rating and score pages.

Cookies from Third-Party Services

I work with external providers - analytics vendors, content delivery networks, affiliate programmes. Their cookies follow their own privacy policies, not mine. When you interact with their scripts, their terms govern what they collect.

When This Policy Changes

I update this document whenever the cookie approach changes. Return here for the most current version.
