Cookie policy
What cookies this site uses and how to control them. Last reviewed 2 July 2026.
This cookie policy explains what cookies are, which cookies Casino Exit GamStop uses, why we use them and how long they last, and how you can control or disable them. It sits alongside our privacy policy, which covers personal data more broadly. The specific cookie names and retention periods listed below are placeholders to be confirmed against the live configuration before the site goes public, because the exact set depends on the hosting and analytics tools chosen by the operator.
Understand what cookies are
A cookie is a small text file that a website asks your browser to store on your device when you visit. Cookies let a site remember information between pages or visits, such as your cookie preferences or anonymous statistics about how the site is used. Some cookies are set by the site you are visiting, known as first-party cookies, while others are set by third-party services the site uses, such as an analytics provider. Cookies can be session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which remain for a set period. Similar technologies such as local storage and pixels can serve comparable purposes, and where this policy refers to cookies it includes those technologies too.
See the categories of cookie we use
We group cookies into four categories, which is the standard approach and matches the choices offered in our cookie banner. Strictly necessary cookies are required for the site to work, for example to remember your cookie choices, and these are always active because the site cannot function properly without them. Functional cookies remember preferences that improve your experience, such as display settings, and are optional. Analytics cookies help us understand in aggregate how visitors use the site, such as which pages are read most, so we can improve the content, and these are only set with your consent. Marketing cookies, which would track browsing to build a profile for advertising, are only set with your consent, and as an independent information portal we keep these to a minimum or do not use them at all.
Review the specific cookies
The table below lists the cookies the site uses, by category, with the purpose, the typical retention period and whether the cookie is first party or third party. These entries are placeholders to be finalised against the live setup.
| Cookie name | Category | Purpose | Retention | Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| [cookie_consent] | Strictly necessary | Stores your cookie banner choices so you are not asked again on every page | [6 to 12 months] | First party |
| [session_id] | Strictly necessary | Maintains basic session state and helps keep the site secure | [Session] | First party |
| [site_prefs] | Functional | Remembers display preferences you have chosen | [Up to 12 months] | First party |
| [_analytics_id] | Analytics | Distinguishes visitors to produce aggregate usage statistics | [Up to 13 months] | Third party |
| [_analytics_session] | Analytics | Measures a single visit for aggregate reporting | [24 hours] | Third party |
Control cookies through our banner
When you first visit the site you are shown a cookie banner that lets you accept or reject the optional categories, namely functional, analytics and any marketing cookies, while strictly necessary cookies remain active. You can change your choices at any time by reopening the cookie settings from the banner control, and withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it. Rejecting optional cookies does not stop you using the site; it only limits the non-essential features and statistics described above.
Disable cookies in your browser
You can also control or delete cookies directly in your browser, which applies across every site you visit. The exact steps vary by browser and version, but the general routes are as follows.Google ChromeOpen Settings, then Privacy and security, then Cookies and other site data, where you can block or delete cookies and clear browsing data.Mozilla FirefoxOpen Settings, then Privacy and Security, then Cookies and Site Data, where you can manage exceptions and clear stored cookies.Apple SafariOpen Settings or Preferences, then Privacy, where you can block cookies and manage website data; on iPhone and iPad this is under the Safari section of the device Settings.Microsoft EdgeOpen Settings, then Cookies and site permissions, then Manage and delete cookies and site data.
Blocking all cookies, including strictly necessary ones, may stop parts of this and other sites working as intended. If you use a tool that blocks gambling sites, such as the software described on our UK gambling support page, that operates separately from cookies and continues to work regardless of your cookie choices here.
Note how this policy may change
We may update this cookie policy when the tools we use change, when the categories of cookie change, or when the law or guidance is updated. When we make a material change we will update the review date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, ask for your consent again through the cookie banner. For how we handle personal data more generally, see the privacy policy, and for the identification of the site operator see the legal notice.
