Cookie Policy
What follows is an inventory of the cookies and comparable technologies active on Vegas Spins: the job each one performs, the length of time it stays on your device, and the ways you can manage or clear them. Personal-data handling in the wider sense is covered on its own on the Privacy Policy page, to which this page acts as the technical counterpart. A general account of the project appears on the About page, while the headline operator review sits on the Vegas Spins Casino homepage.
1. What a cookie is, briefly
A cookie is a small text file a website asks your browser to keep on your device. When the same site loads again, the browser hands the file back, letting the site recognise the visit, recall a setting, or tally traffic. Cookies cannot run code on your machine, cannot read other files, and cannot identify you personally without other information already tied to the cookie. Plenty of things loosely called "cookies" nowadays are technically other browser-storage mechanisms — localStorage, sessionStorage, IndexedDB — that behave in much the same way; for plain English, the word "cookie" on this page takes in all of them.
2. Categories of cookies used on Vegas Spins
Three distinct types of cookie are used by Vegas Spins. A consent banner presents them to you the first time you arrive, and the choice you make there can be revised at any point afterwards using the link kept in the footer of the site.
| Category | Purpose | Consent required |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Make the site work: load the page, remember your cookie-banner choice, route traffic, prevent abuse. | No (legal basis: legitimate interest) |
| Analytics | Anonymous, aggregated traffic measurement: which pages are read, where readers come from, which links are clicked. | Yes |
| Affiliate tracking | Recognise that a click through to an operator came from Vegas Spins so the partnership can be credited. | Yes |
No advertising or remarketing cookies are set by Vegas Spins. There is no display advertising on the pages, no programmatic ad network in the background, and no tracking pixel following readers around other websites. How the site is actually funded is laid out on the Affiliate Disclosure page.
3. Specific cookies, third parties and lifetimes
The list below covers the cookies that may be set when you visit Vegas Spins. Third-party cookies come from services Vegas Spins uses; control over how they fully behave rests with the third party, and links to their own policies are supplied.
| Name | Set by | Category | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|---|
vegasspins_consent | Vegas Spins | Strictly necessary | Stores your cookie-banner choice so the banner does not reappear on every page load. | 12 months |
vegasspins_session | Vegas Spins | Strictly necessary | Anonymous session identifier used to load assets and rate-limit abusive traffic. | Until browser closes |
_ga, _ga_* | Google Analytics 4 | Analytics | Aggregated traffic statistics: pages per session, traffic sources, average time on page. IP addresses are anonymised before storage. | 14 months |
vegasspins_aff | Vegas Spins | Affiliate tracking | Records that a click on an outbound operator link originated from Vegas Spins so the partnership is credited. | 30 days |
For the relevant third-party terms, Google Privacy & Terms governs Google Analytics. As for partner operators, they drop their own cookies the moment you click through, and from that point the operator's own privacy policy applies rather than that of Vegas Spins.
4. How to control cookies in your browser
Every modern browser lets you block cookies, delete existing ones, or reject third-party cookies altogether. The official documentation:
You can also browse Vegas Spins in your browser's private or incognito mode, which prevents cookies from being saved across sessions.
5. What happens if you decline non-essential cookies
The site carries on working normally. You can read every page, follow every internal link, and click through to operator sites. Three small differences: traffic statistics will leave out your visit; if you click an affiliate link with affiliate tracking declined, the partnership cannot be credited — the operator still pays you, the user, in the same way; only the commission to Vegas Spins fails to register; and the consent banner will return if you clear your cookies, because the choice itself is stored in a cookie. The full editorial standards behind every page (including how affiliate links are flagged) sit on the Editorial Policy page, and the player-safety commitments are on the Responsible Gambling page.
6. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
The Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal is respected by Vegas Spins: if your browser transmits GPC, every non-essential cookie is suppressed automatically and you will not see the consent banner at all. Its predecessor, the Do Not Track header, never settled on an agreed enforcement standard, which is why the site places no weight on it.
7. Updates to this policy
When the cookies on Vegas Spins change, this page is updated and the "Last updated" date at the top is revised. Material changes — new categories, new third parties — bring a one-time consent banner refresh so existing visitors are asked afresh. Minor housekeeping (rewording, link updates) sets off no new consent prompt.
8. Questions and complaints
If you want to ask about a particular cookie used on Vegas Spins, the Contact page is the place to start. Where a complaint concerns a UK website, the body that handles it is the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), reachable at ico.org.uk, which enforces the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.
