This policy explains how Fishspins Casino uses cookies and similar technologies on fishspins.org.uk. We set a small number of cookies to remember your preferences and analyse site performance; third-party services we embed may set their own. You control which cookies stay active through your browser settings, and declining optional ones will not break the site.
How this site remembers you
A cookie is a small text file stored on your device when you visit a website. We use cookies to remember your session, your language preference, and whether you have accepted this cookie notice. These are strictly necessary cookies — without them, the site cannot function properly, so they are set automatically when you land on any page.
We also use performance cookies to understand how visitors navigate the site — which pages are viewed most often, where people drop off, and how long they spend reading. This data is anonymised and helps us improve the layout and content. Performance cookies require your consent, and you can withdraw it at any time by clearing your browser's stored cookies or adjusting your preferences in the banner that appears on your first visit.
The analytics question
We use Google Analytics to track page views, session duration, and referral sources. Google sets its own cookies (typically named _ga, _gid, and _gat) with expiry periods ranging from a few minutes to two years. These cookies do not store personal information, but they do record a unique identifier tied to your browser. If you prefer not to be tracked by Google Analytics, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
We do not use cookies for advertising or retargeting on this site. Performance data stays internal and is never sold or shared with third parties beyond the analytics provider.
Scripts we do not control
Fishspins embeds content from external platforms — live chat widgets, payment processors, and occasionally video players. Each of these services may set its own third-party cookies when their content loads on your device. We list the providers we work with below, but we do not control the cookies they set or the data they collect. Their own privacy policies govern what happens to that data.
| Service | Purpose | Cookie duration |
|---|---|---|
| Google Analytics | Site performance measurement | Up to 2 years |
| Live chat provider | Customer support messaging | Session or 1 year |
| Payment gateway | Transaction processing | Session only |
If you block third-party cookies entirely in your browser, embedded content may fail to load or work only partially. The live chat window, for example, will not open without the session cookie its provider sets. The rest of the site remains usable.
Your options
You manage cookies through your browser. Every major browser lets you view, delete, and block cookies — either all of them or only those from third parties. The steps vary slightly by browser:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data. Choose "Block third-party cookies" or "Block all cookies". To clear existing ones, go to Settings → Privacy and security → Clear browsing data.
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data. Select "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" or click Manage Data to remove specific ones.
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Block all cookies, or uncheck "Prevent cross-site tracking" to allow some third-party cookies. Manage Data lets you see and delete stored cookies by site.
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies and site data. Toggle "Block third-party cookies" or clear all stored data.
Blocking all cookies will log you out of any account on this site and reset your preferences each time you visit. Blocking only third-party cookies is a middle ground — the site itself works normally, but embedded services may not.
Revisions
We update this policy when we add or remove services that set cookies. The date at the bottom of this page shows the last revision. Changes take effect immediately, and continuing to use the site after an update means you accept the revised terms. We will not notify you separately about cookie-policy updates — check this page occasionally if you want to stay informed.
If you have questions about how we use cookies, or if you want to report a cookie we have not listed here, contact the editorial team at [email protected]. We aim to respond within 48 hours.
