Cookies Policy
What we store, why we store it and how you can manage those choices.
1. What this policy covers
This cookies policy explains how Gamblingsphere15 uses cookies, local storage and similar technologies when you visit our editorial casino comparison website. These tools help us remember core choices, understand broad usage patterns and keep the experience stable across visits. We use the term cookies for convenience, but some settings on the site are stored through browser local storage rather than through a traditional cookie file.
2. Strictly necessary storage
Certain storage functions are used because the site needs them to behave properly. The clearest example is age confirmation. Since the site is intended only for adults, we store a record of whether a visitor has confirmed they are 18 or over. We also store whether the visitor has accepted the cookie banner so that the notice does not reappear on every page load. These items support basic operation and user preference handling rather than advertising.
3. Performance and measurement tools
We may use lightweight analytics technologies to understand which pages are visited most often, how readers move through the site, whether the mobile experience is holding up and where technical friction may be affecting usability. This information helps us improve editorial layout, navigation and general performance. We do not use the site to build gambling behaviour profiles or to make decisions about a person’s suitability for wagering products, because we are not an operator.
4. Consent choices
Where consent is required, optional cookies or similar technologies are only activated after a visitor makes a positive choice. The consent notice appears as a fixed bar at the bottom of the screen and can be accepted directly or reviewed through this policy page. If you do nothing, optional storage should remain limited. You can also clear cookies and local storage through your browser settings at any time, although doing so may reset certain site preferences.
5. Third-party services
Some technology providers may support hosting, security, analytics or embedded resources. Where these services place or access storage technologies, they do so in line with their own technical function and subject to the controls and agreements we maintain with them. Readers should understand that third-party websites reached through outbound affiliate or informational links have their own cookie practices. Once you leave Gamblingsphere15, the policies of the destination site apply instead of this one.
6. Managing cookies in your browser
Most browsers let you view, block, delete or restrict cookies and site storage items. The exact path depends on the browser and device you use. Clearing those records may remove your age-confirmation status and cookie-consent choice, which means the relevant prompts can appear again the next time you visit. Blocking all storage technologies can also affect how some parts of the site behave. For that reason, we suggest making targeted choices rather than applying blanket blocks without review.
7. Local storage keys used on this site
The site currently uses the keys domendomen_age and domendomen_cookies to remember age confirmation and cookie consent status. These values are stored in the browser when the corresponding action is completed. They are not designed to store sensitive personal data. Their purpose is functional: one prevents the age overlay from reappearing unnecessarily and the other prevents the cookie banner from showing after consent has been recorded.
8. Updates to this policy
We may revise this cookies policy when our tools, providers or legal obligations change. The latest version will always be posted on this page. If the way we use optional technologies changes materially, we may also update the consent experience so visitors can make a fresh choice. Questions about this policy can be sent to privacy@gamblingsphere15.co.uk.
