This policy explains how casinoswithoutswedishlicense.se uses cookies and similar tracking technologies. It describes what cookies are, why we use them, which types we rely on and how you can control them yourself. It complements our privacy policy.
What are cookies?
A cookie is a small text file stored in your browser when you visit a website. It holds information that lets the site recognise your device on a later visit or during the same session. Cookies can be essential for a page to work, or they can remember your choices and measure how the site is used.
Cookies are either temporary or persistent. A session cookie is deleted when you close your browser, while a persistent cookie remains for a set period. Alongside cookies there are similar technologies, such as pixels and local storage, that serve comparable purposes.
Why we use cookies
We use cookies so that the site works correctly, to remember your settings and to understand how visitors use our content. The statistics help us see which pages are popular and where we can improve. We do not use cookies to build detailed profiles of you as an individual.
It is worth knowing that not all cookies are the same. Some are strictly necessary and cannot be switched off without breaking the site, while others are optional and only set with your consent. Throughout this policy we try to make clear which is which, so that you can make an informed choice about what you allow.
Our own and external cookies
First-party cookies are set by us and are used to make the site function and to remember your choices, such as your response in the cookie banner. Third-party cookies are set by other services we use, mainly web analytics and marketing tools. These external parties may have their own policies for how the data is handled, and we recommend that you read them.
The types of cookies we use
Cookies can be grouped by what they do. Below we describe the categories that are relevant on our site.
Marketing cookies
Marketing cookies may be used to measure the effect of campaigns and to link visits to advertising activity. They help us understand which content and channels are effective. These cookies are only set if you consent to marketing cookies in the banner.
Functional cookies
Functional cookies allow the site to remember choices and settings you have made, such as your language or your answer in the cookie banner. They improve your experience but are not always strictly necessary for the page to work. Without them you may need to make some choices again on each visit.
Analytics cookies
Analytics cookies collect information about how visitors use the site, for example which pages are viewed and for how long. We use Google Analytics for this. The data is processed in aggregate form and helps us understand and improve our content. These cookies are only set with your consent.
Specific cookies we use
Below we describe some of the specific cookies that may appear on the site. Note that the exact set can change over time as we update our tools.
_gcl_au
The _gcl_au cookie is set by Google to measure the effectiveness of advertising and to attribute conversions. It falls under marketing cookies and is only set if you consent to them. It typically has a lifespan of around three months.
_gid
The _gid cookie is set by Google Analytics and is used to distinguish visitors over a short period. It stores information about how the visitor uses the site and has a short lifespan of roughly 24 hours.
cookie_consent
The cookie_consent cookie is a necessary, first-party cookie that stores your choice in the cookie banner so that we remember your preferences. It ensures we do not ask you the same question on every visit and typically lasts up to twelve months.
The following table summarises the cookies we use and their purpose:
| Cookie | Type | Purpose | Lifespan |
|---|---|---|---|
| cookie_consent | Necessary / functional | Stores your cookie banner choice | Up to 12 months |
| _ga | Analytics (Google Analytics) | Distinguishes unique visitors | Up to 2 years |
| _gid | Analytics (Google Analytics) | Distinguishes visitors short-term | About 24 hours |
| _gcl_au | Marketing | Measures advertising effectiveness | About 3 months |
Minors and cookies
Our site is intended for people aged 18 or over. We do not knowingly set cookies to collect data about minors. If you are a parent or guardian and have questions about how cookies work, you are welcome to contact us.
Consent and cookie banner
When you first visit the site you are shown a cookie banner where you can accept or decline non-essential cookies. Necessary cookies are always active because the site cannot function without them, but analytics and marketing cookies are only set once you give consent. You can change your choice at any time through the banner.
Pixels and local storage
In addition to cookies we may use similar technologies such as pixels and local storage. A pixel is a small, often invisible image that can register whether a page has been opened. Local storage allows certain information to be saved in your browser in a way similar to cookies. These technologies are governed by the same consent as our cookies.
Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a Do Not Track feature that sends a signal indicating you do not wish to be tracked. There is no uniform industry standard for how such a signal should be interpreted. We honour the choices you make in our cookie banner, and you can always decline non-essential cookies there regardless of your Do Not Track setting.
Managing cookies
You have full control over your cookies. You can change your consent at any time through the banner, and you can delete stored cookies through your browser settings, where you can also block new ones. If you delete your cookies, some choices may need to be made again on your next visit. Blocking necessary cookies may affect how the site works. To learn how we handle the data cookies may generate, see our privacy policy.
