Effective date: 3 June 2026. Last updated: 3 June 2026.
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies are, how e-casinosonline.com uses them, and how you can manage your preferences. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
1. What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, tablet, or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember preferences, and provide information to site owners. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, pixels, and scripts that store or read information in your browser.
Cookies may be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (remaining until they expire or you delete them). They may be "first-party" (set by the site you visit) or "third-party" (set by another domain, such as an analytics or advertising provider).
2. How we use cookies on e-casinosonline.com
We aim to minimise non-essential tracking on our informational pages. The primary storage mechanisms we use support core compliance and user-experience features rather than behavioural advertising profiles.
Strictly necessary / essential storage. We use session storage to record that you confirmed you are 18 years or older during your browsing session. Without this flag, the age-verification overlay would appear on every page load. This processing is necessary to implement our age-restriction policy and is not used for marketing.
Preference storage. We use local storage to remember whether you accepted or rejected optional cookies through our consent banner. This prevents the banner from reappearing on every visit once you have made a choice. Your selection is stored under the key associated with our cookie-consent module and remains until you clear site data or change your browser settings.
Functional cookies. Where implemented, functional cookies may remember interface preferences such as dismissed notices. We do not currently deploy extensive functional cookie categories beyond consent and age-gating.
Analytics and performance. If we introduce privacy-respecting analytics in future, we will update this Policy and, where required by law, request your consent before setting non-essential analytics cookies. At present, our hosting provider may process server logs that include IP addresses and user-agent strings for security and capacity planning; this is distinct from browser cookie storage and is described in our Privacy Policy.
Marketing and affiliate measurement. Outbound links to casino operators may pass tracking parameters in the URL so operators can attribute referrals. Those parameters are not cookies set by e-casinosonline.com but may enable third-party cookies once you arrive on the operator site. We do not control operator cookie practices.
3. Summary table of key storage items
- Age verification flag (session storage): purpose — confirm 18+ for current session; duration — until browser tab/session ends; type — strictly necessary.
- Cookie consent choice (local storage): purpose — record accept/reject decision; duration — until cleared by user; type — preference / consent record.
We review this list periodically and will expand it if new cookies are introduced.
4. Third-party cookies
When you click links to external casino operators, responsible-gambling charities, or regulatory bodies, those websites may set their own cookies and use their own tracking technologies. Examples include session cookies for login, fraud-prevention cookies, and advertising pixels. e-casinosonline.com does not have access to operator cookies and is not responsible for third-party practices. You should review the cookie and privacy policies of every external site you visit.
Embedded content from third parties is kept to a minimum on our Site. If we embed media or widgets in future, this section will be updated to identify relevant third-party providers.
5. Legal basis for cookie use
Under the ePrivacy Directive as implemented in Ireland and aligned with GDPR expectations, strictly necessary cookies may be used without consent because they are required to provide a service explicitly requested by you—here, access to age-restricted gambling information after verification. Preference cookies tied to your explicit accept/reject action rely on your consent where applicable law requires it. You may withdraw consent by clearing stored data and revisiting the Site to make a new choice.
6. Managing and disabling cookies
You can control cookies in several ways:
- Use our on-site banner to accept or reject non-essential cookies where offered.
- Clear cookies and site data through your browser settings. Instructions vary by browser: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and mobile OS browsers each provide privacy menus to delete stored data.
- Enable "Do Not Track" or similar signals—note that not all websites respond to these signals, but we design our core pages to avoid unnecessary tracking regardless.
- Install browser extensions that block known trackers if you prefer an additional layer of control.
Blocking or deleting essential storage may prevent age verification from persisting during your session and may cause the consent banner to reappear. Some Site features may not function as intended if you disable all storage technologies.
7. Cookie retention periods
Session storage items expire when you close the browser session. Local storage items persist until you manually clear them or until our application updates the stored key. We do not intentionally retain consent records longer than necessary to honour your choice across repeat visits within a reasonable timeframe.
8. Updates to gambling regulation and technology
Cookie practices evolve as browsers restrict third-party cookies, adopt partitioned storage, and introduce new privacy APIs. We monitor these developments and adjust our implementation to remain compliant with Irish and EU requirements. Significant changes to this Cookie Policy will be reflected in the effective date above and, where appropriate, communicated through the Site.
9. Your rights
Where cookie-related data constitutes personal data under GDPR—for example, IP addresses combined with unique identifiers in server logs—you may have rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection, and portability as described in our Privacy Policy. Contact info@e-casinosonline.com to exercise those rights.
10. Children
Our Site is not directed at individuals under 18. We do not knowingly use cookies to profile minors. If you are under 18, do not use this Site and do not accept cookies here.
