Matchbook Casino Cookies Policy
This Cookies Policy explains how Matchbook Casino uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit or use its website and related online services. It is intended to help you understand what these technologies do, why they are used and how you can manage your preferences.
Cookies may support essential website functions, improve performance, remember selected settings and help Matchbook Casino understand how visitors use the site. This policy should be read together with any other privacy information made available on the website. Matchbook Casino is intended for customers aged 18 and over.
What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise a device or browser and retain limited information about a visit. Cookies cannot normally be used to identify you by name on their own, although information obtained through cookies may be combined with other information where this is appropriate and permitted.
Some cookies are stored only for the duration of your browsing session. These are removed when you close your browser. Other cookies remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them. The length of time a cookie remains active depends on its purpose and configuration.
Matchbook Casino may also use similar technologies, such as pixels, tags, software development kits or locally stored identifiers. References to cookies in this policy include these comparable technologies where relevant.
Types of Cookies
Cookies can be grouped in several ways. One distinction concerns who places them on your device:
- First-party cookies are placed directly by Matchbook Casino or by a service operating on its behalf.
- Third-party cookies are placed by another organisation whose services are used on the website.
Cookies may also be classified according to how long they remain active:
- Session cookies operate temporarily and normally expire when your browsing session ends.
- Persistent cookies remain for a specified period or until they are removed through your browser or device settings.
The categories below describe the main purposes for which cookies may be used. A single cookie may support more than one function, and the technologies in use may change as the website develops.
Essential Cookies
Essential cookies support functions that are necessary for the website to operate. Without them, certain services or features may not work properly. These cookies are generally used to provide a secure and consistent browsing experience rather than to create a profile of your interests.
Examples of essential functions may include:
- Maintaining a secure connection while you move between pages.
- Keeping track of information during a login or account session.
- Supporting account registration, authentication and access controls.
- Remembering selections required to deliver a service you have requested.
- Helping to protect the website against fraudulent activity, misuse or unusual traffic.
- Routing requests to suitable systems and maintaining website stability.
Because these cookies are connected with core functionality, disabling them may prevent access to some parts of Matchbook Casino or cause features to operate incorrectly. Essential cookies do not automatically provide Matchbook Casino with permission to use information for unrelated marketing purposes.
Performance Cookies
Performance cookies help Matchbook Casino understand how the website performs and how visitors interact with it. They may collect information such as the pages visited, approximate time spent on a page, navigation patterns, error messages and the type of device or browser used.
This information is generally reviewed in aggregated or otherwise limited form to help identify technical problems and improve the design, speed and reliability of the website. For example, performance information may show that a page loads slowly on a particular device or that customers experience difficulty completing a process.
Performance cookies are not intended to record the content of private communications or capture account passwords. Where these cookies are optional, you can choose whether to allow them through the available cookie settings. Refusing them should not normally prevent basic access to the site, although Matchbook Casino may have less information available for diagnosing technical issues and improving the customer experience.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow the website to remember choices you make and provide features that are more relevant to your preferences. They can reduce the need to enter the same information repeatedly and may make your visit more convenient.
Depending on the features available, functional cookies may remember settings such as language, region, display preferences or other selections made during a visit. They may also help the website maintain continuity when you return to a service or use a particular feature.
Functional cookies are not essential to every website function. If you decline them, the website may still be available, but certain preferences may not be retained and you may need to make the same selections again. Information collected through functional cookies is used for the feature they support and should not be treated as a general record of all activity on your device.
Marketing Cookies
Marketing cookies may be used to help deliver advertising or promotional communications that are more relevant to your interests. They can record information about browsing activity across a website or, where third-party services are involved, across different websites and services. They may also help measure whether a campaign has been viewed or whether an advertisement has led to a visit.
Matchbook Casino may use marketing technologies only where they are appropriate for the relevant service and subject to applicable choices and permissions. These technologies should not be used to encourage unsafe gambling or to target individuals who are not permitted to use the service. Marketing preferences do not change the minimum age requirement of 18+.
If you decline marketing cookies, you may still see advertising, but it may be less tailored to your interests. You may also continue to receive service-related messages that are necessary to administer your account or provide information you have requested. Those messages are distinct from optional promotional activity.
Managing Cookies
You can manage optional cookies through the cookie settings tool provided on the Matchbook Casino website, where available. Your choices may be stored in a preference cookie so that the website does not ask you to make the same selection every time you visit.
You can also control cookies through your browser or device settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- View cookies stored on your device.
- Delete existing cookies.
- Block cookies from specific websites.
- Block third-party cookies.
- Allow cookies only for selected websites.
- Receive a notification before cookies are stored.
The method for changing these settings varies between browsers and devices. Guidance is usually available in the browser's privacy, security or help menu. If you use more than one browser or device, you may need to set your preferences separately on each one.
Deleting or blocking essential cookies may affect login functions, account security and other core features. Removing an optional cookie may also reset a preference or remove information used to remember your previous choice. Changes to browser settings do not necessarily delete information already held by a service provider, and additional controls may be needed where third-party technologies are involved.
You may change your cookie preferences at any time, subject to the options made available on the website. If you have questions about cookies or the operation of Matchbook Casino services, you can contact [email protected].
Third-Party Cookies
Some website functions may be supported by third-party providers. These providers may place or access cookies and similar technologies when their tools are loaded or used. Examples may include providers that assist with website analytics, security, customer support, payment-related functionality or campaign measurement.
Third-party providers may process information under their own privacy notices and cookie policies. Their practices, cookie durations and available controls may differ from those of Matchbook Casino. Where a third-party service is optional, you may be able to refuse it through the website's cookie settings. You can also review the provider's information to understand how it handles data and how to exercise available choices.
Matchbook Casino does not control every aspect of a third-party provider's systems. However, third-party tools used in connection with the website should be selected for legitimate operational or service purposes. Links to external websites or services are not necessarily an endorsement, and you should consider their terms before using them.
Cookies may also be set when content from another service is displayed on a Matchbook Casino page. Blocking third-party cookies in your browser may limit some embedded features, but it can also reduce tracking by external providers across unrelated websites.
Policy Updates
Matchbook Casino may update this Cookies Policy when its website, services, technologies or cookie practices change. An updated version will be made available on the relevant website page, together with a revised date where appropriate. The updated policy will apply from the time it is published unless a different effective date is stated.
You should review this page periodically so that you remain informed about how cookies are used and which controls are available. If a change requires a new choice or permission, Matchbook Casino will provide an appropriate opportunity to make that choice where applicable.
Continuing to use the website after an update does not by itself mean that optional cookies are accepted where a separate consent choice is required. Your available preferences remain subject to the cookie controls presented on the website and the settings maintained in your browser or device.
