Cookie Policy
This policy explains how casinos.guru uses cookies and similar tracking technologies. By using our website, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy. You can manage your preferences at any time through your browser settings.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They serve various purposes: remembering your preferences, understanding how you use the site, and improving your experience. Cookies can be "session cookies" (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (remain until they expire or you delete them).
2. Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies (Always Active)
These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. They enable core features like user authentication, session management, security protections, and cookie consent preferences. Without these cookies, the website cannot operate correctly. They do not collect personal information for marketing purposes.

Analytics Cookies
We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our site — which pages are most popular, how users navigate between pages, and where they encounter issues. This data is aggregated and anonymised; we cannot identify individual users from analytics data. Analytics help us improve content, fix usability issues, and prioritise development efforts.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics — distinguishes users | 2 years |
| _ga_* | Google Analytics — session state | 2 years |
| _gid | Google Analytics — 24hr user identification | 24 hours |

| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| theme | Light/dark mode preference | 1 year |
| country_pref | Country/region preference | 1 year |
| filter_settings | Saved filter preferences | 30 days |
Affiliate Tracking Cookies
When you click an affiliate link to a casino, a tracking cookie may be set to attribute your visit to casinos.guru. This cookie is used solely for commission tracking purposes — it tells the casino that you were referred by our site. These cookies do not collect personal information and are set by the third-party casino or affiliate network, not by us.
3. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our site are set by third parties including Google (analytics), affiliate networks (tracking), and embedded content providers. These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies. We do not control third-party cookies and recommend reviewing their respective policies.
4. Managing Cookies
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- View what cookies are stored on your device
- Delete individual or all cookies
- Block cookies from specific or all websites
- Set your browser to notify you when a cookie is set
Note: Disabling essential cookies may affect site functionality — you may not be able to log in, save preferences, or use certain features. Disabling analytics cookies will not affect your experience but will prevent us from improving the site based on usage data.
5. Do Not Track
Some browsers support a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. We respect DNT signals and will limit tracking to essential cookies only when a DNT signal is detected.
6. Changes to This Policy
We may update this cookie policy as our practices change or as regulations evolve. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "last updated" date. For significant changes, we'll display a notice on our website.
7. Contact
