This Cookie Policy explains which cookies and similar technologies OtherPlay uses, why they are used and how a visitor can control them. It should be read with the Privacy Policy, which covers how personal data is handled more broadly.
What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files stored on a device when a website is visited. They let a site remember a device between pages and between visits. Similar technologies, such as local storage and tracking pixels, work in the same way and are covered by this policy.
Cookies OtherPlay Uses
| Category | Purpose | Example | Duration | Consent Needed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Keep the site working, remember cookie choices and support security | otherplay_consent | Session to 12 months | No |
| Analytics | Count visits, show which pages are useful and find technical problems | _ga, _ga_* | Up to 24 months | Yes |
| Affiliate tracking | Let an operator's affiliate network confirm that a click led to a registration | Set by the operator's affiliate network | Set by the network | Yes |
| Third-party services | Deliver content, fonts and other site features from external providers | Set by the provider | Set by the provider | Yes |
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies allow navigation between pages and store the visitor's cookie choices. They do not require consent under UK rules and cannot be switched off without breaking parts of the site.
Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies measure how visitors use OtherPlay. They count visits, show which research pages are most useful and flag pages with technical faults. The information is aggregated, and individual visitors cannot be identified from it.
Affiliate Tracking Cookies
An affiliate tracking cookie is set when a visitor clicks an outbound link to a partner casino. It lets the operator's affiliate network report whether the click led to a registration, so that commission can be calculated. These cookies are not used to follow visitors across other websites or to build a profile of gambling activity.
Third-Party Cookies
Some services used to run the site, such as content delivery providers, font providers and analytics platforms, may set their own cookies. OtherPlay does not control them directly. Each provider has its own privacy policy.
Managing Cookies
Non-essential cookies are set only after consent. The cookie banner offers a choice to accept or reject them, and the choice can be changed at any time through the cookie settings link in the footer.
Browser settings give a second layer of control. Most browsers can block all cookies, block third-party cookies or delete cookies after each session. Blocking strictly necessary cookies breaks parts of the site. Blocking analytics or affiliate cookies does not.
Changes to This Policy
This policy is updated when the cookies in use change or the law changes. The last-updated date at the top shows the most recent revision.
