Cookie Policy
What This Policy Covers
This Cookie Policy explains how CASINO NEWS PRESS (casinonewspress.com) uses cookies and similar technologies such as local storage and pixels. It works alongside our Privacy Policy, which covers everything else we do with data. Here we focus on one question: what gets stored in your browser when you read our coverage, and what control you have over it.
What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files that a website places in your browser. Some disappear when you close the tab (session cookies); others persist for days or months (persistent cookies). Some are set by us directly (first-party cookies); others are set by services we use, such as analytics and advertising providers (third-party cookies). Cookies cannot run programs or read arbitrary files on your device. What they can do is remember things between visits, which is both their usefulness and the reason regulation exists around them.
Categories We Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These make the site work at all: security tokens, load balancing, and remembering your cookie consent choice itself. They do not require consent because the site cannot function without them, and they contain no advertising or tracking payload.
Functional Cookies
These remember preferences that improve your reading experience, such as display settings. Losing them will not break the site, but you may have to reselect preferences on each visit.
Analytics Cookies
These help us understand readership in aggregate: which articles get read, where visitors arrive from, how long pages hold attention, and where the site is slow. We use this to decide what to cover and how to improve the site. Analytics data is examined in aggregate; we are interested in whether ten thousand people read a licensing story, not in what you personally read.
Advertising Cookies
Advertising funds this publication. Ad-related cookies are used to serve ads, cap how often you see the same one, measure whether campaigns performed, and, where you have consented, tailor ads to inferred interests. These cookies are typically set by third-party advertising partners under their own privacy policies. Because our subject matter is the gambling industry, some ads may relate to gambling services; such ads are subject to the age and jurisdiction rules described in our advertising standards, and no ad on this site is an editorial endorsement.
Third-Party Cookies
Third-party providers who may set cookies through our pages include analytics services, advertising networks and exchanges, and embedded content providers (for example, if an article embeds a video or social media post, the platform hosting it may set its own cookies when the embed loads). We choose reputable providers, but their cookies are governed by their policies, not ours, and we encourage you to review them if you want the full picture.
Your Choices
Consent Controls
Where required by law, we present a consent banner before non-essential cookies are set. You can accept, refuse, or customize categories, and you can revisit your choice later through the cookie settings link on the site. Refusing non-essential cookies does not block you from reading anything we publish.
Browser Settings
Every major browser lets you view, block, and delete cookies:
- Chrome: Settings, then Privacy and security, then Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Settings, then Privacy & Security, then Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences, then Privacy, then Manage Website Data
- Edge: Settings, then Cookies and site permissions
Blocking all cookies, including strictly necessary ones, may degrade parts of the site. Deleting cookies also deletes your stored consent preferences, so you may see the banner again.
Opting Out of Interest-Based Advertising
Beyond our own controls, industry opt-out tools such as the Digital Advertising Alliance and the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance pages let you opt out of interest-based advertising from participating companies across the web. Your mobile operating system may also offer a setting to limit ad tracking device-wide.
Do Not Track and Similar Signals
Where applicable law gives effect to browser-level opt-out signals, we honor them through our consent tooling. Otherwise, the consent banner and the settings described above are the reliable ways to control cookies on this site.
Changes to This Policy
We update this policy when our tools or partners change or when the law requires it. The current version is always at this URL, and material changes will be reflected in an updated revision date.
