Cookie Policy

TL;DR

Gambledin cookies at a glance

Gambledin uses three categories of cookies: essential (site preferences and consent state, cannot be disabled if you use the site), analytics (Google Analytics 4 with IP anonymisation), and third-party (affiliate-network tracking pixels). Non-essential cookies require consent from EU/EEA visitors via the cookie banner and can be declined or revoked at any time without affecting site functionality.

• Best For: Understanding exactly which cookies Gambledin sets and what to do about them
• Essential: Site preferences, consent state — required for the site to work; cannot be disabled without breaking functionality
• Analytics: Google Analytics 4 (anonymised IP, no individual profiling) — opt out via consent banner or browser DNT
• Third-party: Affiliate-network tracking pixels (commission attribution only) — set only after you click an affiliate link
• Your Control: Cookie banner (EU/EEA), browser cookie settings, or per-site browser blocking — site works without analytics cookies

What's a cookie?

A cookie is a small text file stored in your browser when you visit a website. It can remember preferences (e.g. dark mode), maintain session state across page loads, count traffic, or attribute affiliate-link clicks for commission tracking.

What types of cookies does Gambledin use?

Three types: (1) essential first-party cookies for site preferences and cookie-consent state; (2) analytics third-party cookies for Google Analytics 4 (IP-anonymised aggregated traffic statistics); (3) advertising/affiliate third-party cookies set by the destination casino’s affiliate network when you click an affiliate link, for commission attribution only.

What are essential cookies?

First-party cookies set directly by gambledin.com to remember your cookie-consent choice and any site preferences (e.g. age-verification confirmation). Essential cookies do not require consent under GDPR because they are strictly necessary for the requested service.

What are analytics cookies?

Google Analytics 4 cookies set with IP anonymisation enabled. They count page views, sessions and aggregated traffic patterns to help editorial planning. They do not profile individual users and can be declined via the consent banner without affecting site functionality.

What are advertising/affiliate cookies?

When you click an affiliate link to a casino, the destination casino’s affiliate network (iWild Partners, 22Bet Partners, Royal Partners, SpinWize, Slotland Affiliates, etc.) sets a tracking cookie on its own domain to attribute commission if you subsequently register and deposit. Gambledin does not set advertising cookies on its own domain.

Does Gambledin set third-party cookies?

Indirectly. The Google Analytics 4 script (loaded from googletagmanager.com / google-analytics.com) sets third-party cookies for analytics. Affiliate-network tracking pixels set third-party cookies on their own domains when an affiliate link is clicked. Gambledin does not directly set any third-party cookies on gambledin.com.

How do I opt out of cookies?

Three options: (1) decline non-essential cookies via the cookie-consent banner shown on first visit; (2) revoke consent at any time via the cookie-settings link in the footer; (3) configure your browser to block third-party cookies site-wide, which blocks both analytics and affiliate-tracking cookies.

How do I clear cookies in my browser?

Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Clear browsing data → Cookies. Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Clear Data. Safari: Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data. Edge: Settings → Privacy, search and services → Clear browsing data. You can clear cookies for a single site or all sites.

Does Gambledin ask for cookie consent?

Yes — EU/EEA visitors see a cookie-consent banner on first visit and can accept all, accept essential-only, or customise per category. Non-EU visitors see a simplified disclosure notice. Consent state is itself stored in a first-party cookie so the banner does not reappear on every visit.

Is Gambledin EU/EEA compliant?

Yes — the cookie banner meets the ePrivacy Directive (Cookie Law) and GDPR consent requirements. Non-essential cookies are not set until consent is given. Consent can be revoked at any time. See the privacy policy for related data-handling commitments.

How long do cookies live?

Essential cookies: session-duration to 12 months depending on the preference (consent state cookie is typically 12 months). Google Analytics 4 cookies: up to 26 months. Affiliate-network tracking cookies: typically 30 to 60 days, set by the destination network on its own domain.

Do mobile devices have different cookies?

No — mobile browsers (Safari iOS, Chrome Android, Firefox mobile, etc.) handle cookies the same way as desktop browsers. Native app cookies do not apply because Gambledin does not ship a native mobile app.

Does Gambledin track me across sites?

Gambledin does not run any cross-site tracking pixels, advertising-network pixels (Facebook Pixel, Google Ads remarketing, etc.) or behavioural-advertising infrastructure. The only cross-site signal is the affiliate-link click attribution, which only fires when you actively click an affiliate link.

When is the cookie policy updated?

Material updates are timestamped at the top of this page and announced in the news section. The current cookie inventory is reviewed quarterly and after any analytics-tool change.
