Cookie Policy for Fish Spins
This policy explains how Fish Spins Casino uses cookies and similar technologies on fishspins.co.uk. We aim to make the technical side plain: what a cookie does, which ones we set, how third parties come into the picture, and how you control them through your browser.
Cookies in plain terms
A cookie is a small text file placed on your device when you visit a website. It helps the site remember choices you made—language preference, login state, or whether you dismissed a banner—so you don't have to repeat them on every page. Cookies also let us measure how the site is used, which sections get traffic, and where we might improve the experience.
They don't typically contain personal information like your name or email address. Most hold a randomly generated identifier that links your session to our server logs. When you close your browser or clear your data, session cookies disappear; persistent cookies stay until their expiry date or until you delete them manually.
What is stored and for how long
Session cookies exist only while you browse. They vanish when you close the tab or shut down your browser, and they're essential for navigating between pages without losing your place.
Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period—anywhere from a few days to several months—so the site can recognise you on a return visit. We use them to remember your cookie banner choice, to count unique visitors over time, and to understand which content brings people back.
| Category | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Necessary | Site navigation, security, consent record | Session or up to 12 months |
| Analytics | Traffic measurement, page performance | Up to 24 months |
| Marketing | Ad personalisation, conversion tracking | Up to 13 months |
Necessary cookies keep the site working—maintaining your session, protecting forms from automated abuse, and recording your consent decision so we don't ask again every page. You cannot turn these off without breaking core functionality.
Good to know: even a "necessary" cookie doesn't automatically see everything you do. It logs whether you accepted or declined tracking, but it doesn't build a profile of your reading habits unless you also accepted analytics.
Embedded third parties
Some cookies arrive through services we embed rather than ones we set directly. Google Analytics measures page views, session length, and traffic sources; its cookies carry identifiers that help Google distinguish one visitor from another across time. Advertising networks—which may include platforms serving Fish Spins promotional content elsewhere—place cookies that track whether you saw an ad, clicked it, or later visited our site.
Third-party cookies follow the rules of the company that issued them, not ours. We choose which services to embed, but we don't control how those companies process the data their cookies collect. Most major platforms offer their own opt-out tools: Google's ad settings page, Facebook's ad preferences, and industry-wide schemes like the Digital Advertising Alliance's opt-out portal.
Worth remembering: declining third-party cookies through our banner stops us from loading the scripts that would set them, but it doesn't retroactively remove ones already present if you previously accepted them on another visit. For that, you need your browser's clear-data function.
Declining without breaking the site
You control cookies at two levels: through the banner we show on your first visit, and through your browser's own settings. The banner lets you accept all, reject all except necessary ones, or pick categories individually. Your choice is stored in a cookie of its own—ironic but unavoidable—so we don't ask again on every page.
Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data. Block third-party cookies, or clear data for specific sites.
Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data. Choose "Standard", "Strict", or a custom blocking level.
Safari: Preferences → Privacy. Tick "Prevent cross-site tracking" or "Block all cookies"—though the latter will log you out of most sites.
Edge: Settings → Privacy, search, and services → Cookies and site permissions. Block third-party cookies or clear data by domain.
Blocking all cookies will break the site's ability to remember you logged in, to keep items in a comparison list, or to honour your own privacy choices. Blocking third-party cookies alone usually leaves core functionality intact while stopping cross-site tracking.
Updates
We review this policy when we add new analytics tools, change hosting providers, or adjust how the cookie banner works. The date at the foot of this page shows the last revision. We won't notify you individually of minor updates, but substantive changes—like a new ad network or a shift in how consent is recorded—will trigger a fresh banner on your next visit, asking you to confirm your choices again.
If you have questions about how Fish Spins uses cookies or want to know which third parties currently appear on the site, write to [email protected]. We'll answer within 48 hours.
