How GambleGrade Uses Cookies

What Cookies Are

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

Cookies on This Platform

I use cookies on GambleGrade for a few key reasons:

• Keeping the site stable and secure - managing your session, blocking abuse
• Making pages load faster and navigation feel seamless
• Tracking which casino scores 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 Here

Operational Cookies

These make the site work - login sessions, rate limits, form data. Turn these off and some features will break or behave strangely.

Traffic & Usage Cookies

I track which pages get visited, how long you spend on the site, and how you move between ratings and guides. This shows me what's useful and where readers get lost. Everything stays grouped - no personal profiles are built.

Referral Tracking Cookies

When you click through to a casino from GambleGrade, the affiliate network drops a cookie that notes the link came from here. If you sign up or deposit, I earn a commission. That cookie doesn't change your bonus, deposit terms, or pricing - unless the casino chooses to treat different referral sources differently.

What Cookies Don't Do Here

GambleGrade does not use cookies to:

• Grab passwords, card numbers, or sensitive account details
• Log into your casino accounts for you
• Track your behaviour outside this site or build advertising profiles

Taking Control of Your Cookies

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

• Clear cookies already stored on your device
• Block all new cookies (warning: some site features may not work)
• Allow cookies from specific sites only

Switching off operational cookies will cause issues. Analytics and referral cookies can be disabled without breaking the main rating and score pages.

Cookies from Third Parties

I work with other services - analytics platforms, content delivery networks, affiliate programs. Their cookies follow their own privacy policies, not mine. When their code runs on the site, their terms apply to what they collect.

When This Policy Updates

I revise this policy whenever the cookie approach changes. Come back here to check for updates.
