1. What this policy covers
This cookie policy explains how Slotbeacongb20 uses cookies, local storage and similar technologies when you visit our editorial comparison website. These tools help us deliver basic site features, remember your consent decisions, understand which pages are used most and measure whether outbound editorial links are performing as expected. Because we are not a gambling operator, these technologies are used to support a media website rather than to manage gaming accounts or payment wallets.
Where cookies are placed by third parties, their own policies may also apply. We aim to describe the categories clearly, but some technical details may change when providers update their products.
2. Essential storage
Some browser storage is necessary for the site to behave properly. In particular, we use local storage keys to remember whether the age-confirmation step has been completed and whether the cookie banner has already been acknowledged. Without that storage, the age screen and cookie notice would continue to appear on every page load, which would create a poor user experience and make the site harder to use.
These items do not create a gambling account, verify your legal identity or assess your financial status. They simply record a user choice in the current browser.
3. Analytics and performance cookies
We may use analytics or measurement tools to understand general traffic patterns, such as which pages receive more visits, which device types are common and whether visitors leave quickly from a page that may need improvement. This information helps us refine content layout, heading structure, mobile behaviour and internal navigation. The purpose is editorial and technical optimisation, not individual gambling profiling.
Analytics can involve cookies, server logs, browser signals or similar identifiers. Where legally required, we rely on consent before non-essential analytics are activated.
4. Affiliate and referral technologies
Slotbeacongb20 contains affiliate links to selected casino partners. When a reader clicks one of those links, referral technology may be used so the partner or network can attribute the visit to our site. This may involve cookies, tracking parameters in the URL or similar technical markers. Those tools help determine whether commission is payable if a user chooses to register after leaving our pages.
Affiliate tracking is controlled partly by the destination partner, so the exact data captured after you leave Slotbeacongb20 may depend on that external provider. You should review the operator or network policy for fuller detail when following a link.
5. Managing cookies
You can control cookies through browser settings. Most browsers let you delete existing cookies, block future cookies or receive a prompt before a cookie is stored. You can also clear local storage manually through browser privacy tools. If you remove stored settings, the site may ask again for age confirmation and cookie acknowledgement the next time you visit.
Blocking all storage can affect convenience features, although general access to the editorial content should remain available.
6. Cookie lifespans
Different technologies may remain active for different periods. Some last only for a session, while others persist until they expire or are removed manually. Local storage used for age and cookie preferences can remain in place until cleared by the user, replaced by new data or removed as part of browser maintenance. Retention periods used by third parties may differ from ours.
We try to keep browser-based storage proportionate to the function being served. If we introduce a new category of cookie, we will update this policy accordingly.
7. Consent choices
Where the law requires it, we seek consent before placing or activating non-essential cookies. Consent can usually be adjusted through browser controls or by clearing the relevant storage and revisiting the site. Essential functionality linked to age confirmation and cookie acknowledgement is used so the site can operate sensibly for adult readers.
If you have questions about consent or browser storage, contact privacy@slotbeacongb20.co.uk.
8. Updates to this policy
We may revise this cookie policy to reflect legal changes, provider updates or new site features. The updated version will be posted here. You should review it periodically if you want to keep track of how technical storage is used on the site.
Where required, material changes to non-essential storage will be handled through refreshed consent flows or clear notice within the site.
