Our Cookie Policy
We set cookies on rakebit-casino.uk so the site stays logged in, remembers your choices and works securely. This page explains, in plain English, exactly what we place on your device and how you switch anything off.
What Cookies Actually Are
A cookie is a small text file a website saves on your device when you visit. Each one stores a single piece of information, such as your session ID, your chosen language or whether you have already closed our cookie banner.
Cookies are not programmes and cannot read files off your computer. They only send back the data we or a verified partner placed in them. Similar technologies we may use, such as local storage and pixels, are covered by this policy in the same way as cookies.
The Four Cookie Types We Set
Strictly necessary
These keep the casino functioning. Without them you could not log in, deposit or keep a game session open between page loads. We set them on the basis of our legitimate interest in running a secure service, and they cannot be switched off from the banner.
Functional
Functional cookies remember your preferences: your language, your currency display and whether sound plays in game previews. They are optional, and the site works without them, but every visit would start from default settings.
Analytics
With your consent, analytics cookies tell us which pages players visit, where sessions drop off and how long a typical visit lasts. The data is aggregated before we see it, and we use it to fix slow pages and improve navigation rather than to identify individuals.
Marketing
Marketing cookies let us show Rakebit Casino offers to players who have already visited us and opted in. They limit how often you see the same advert and measure whether a campaign actually brought a player back. They are set only after you press Accept in the banner.
| Cookie type | Example names | Purpose | Opt-out |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | rb_session, rb_auth, rb_csrf | Login, security, session continuity | No, required for the site |
| Functional | rb_lang, rb_currency, rb_sound | Language, currency and display preferences | Yes, via banner or browser |
| Analytics | rb_anon_id, _ga | Aggregated usage statistics | Yes, via banner or browser |
| Marketing | rb_ads, rb_rtk | Retargeting and campaign measurement | Yes, via banner or browser |
Cookies Our Partners Place
We do not sell advertising space to random networks. Only three categories of verified third parties may set cookies on rakebit-casino.uk, and each one is covered by a written data-processing agreement with us.
Analytics providers measure traffic in aggregate form and never receive your name, balance or gaming history. Advertising partners serve and measure our own retargeting campaigns, and only after you have consented. Payment providers set their own security cookies during a deposit or withdrawal flow, because fraud screening depends on them; these are strictly necessary and are not used for advertising.
Third-party cookies never give the partner access to your account. They receive a pseudonymous identifier only, and our privacy notice lists the categories of recipients in full.
- Analytics providers, for aggregated traffic and performance measurement
- Advertising partners, for opt-in retargeting of Rakebit Casino campaigns
- Payment providers, for fraud screening during deposit and withdrawal processing
How You Control Cookies
On our site
Our banner appears on your first visit. Choose Accept all, Reject non-essential or Cookie settings to pick categories individually. You can reopen the banner at any time through the Cookie preferences link in the site footer, and your choice takes effect immediately.
In your browser
Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies from its settings menu. Blocking works per site, so you can clear ours without affecting your banking or email.
- Chrome: Settings, then Privacy and security, then Third-party cookies
- Safari: Settings, then Privacy, where you can block all cookies
- Firefox: Settings, then Privacy and Security, then Cookies and Site Data
- Edge: Settings, then Cookies and site permissions
What happens if you block them
Blocking strictly necessary cookies will stop you logging in and depositing, so we do not recommend it. Blocking functional or analytics cookies has no effect on gameplay. Blocking marketing cookies simply means you stop seeing our retargeted offers on other sites.
How Long Cookies Last
We keep every cookie no longer than its job requires. Session cookies are wiped the moment you close your browser, while consent and preference cookies persist so you are not asked the same questions on every visit. Marketing cookies carry the shortest shelf life of the persistent types, because an advertising profile goes stale quickly.
Where 2026 regulation or our own review sets a shorter limit, the shorter period wins. Deleting cookies manually in your browser clears them ahead of these schedules.
| Category | Duration | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary (session) | Until you close your browser | Wiped automatically |
| Strictly necessary (security) | Up to 90 days | Fraud and login protection |
| Functional | Up to 365 days | Language and preferences |
| Analytics | Up to 90 days | Aggregated statistics only |
| Marketing | Up to 30 days | Requires active consent |
| Consent record | Up to 365 days | Stores your banner choice |
Changes We May Make Later
When we add a new cookie, a new partner or a new purpose, we update this page and revise the version note at the top of it. If a change reduces your control or introduces a new marketing use, we show the consent banner again rather than relying on your previous choice.
Questions about anything on this page go to our support team at [email protected], available on live chat 24/7. Since we launched in 2024, keeping players informed about data has been part of how we operate, and this policy is no exception.
Frequently asked questions
Do cookies let you see my personal details?
No. Cookies hold technical identifiers such as a session ID or a language code. Your name, balance and gaming history stay on our secure servers, not in the cookie itself.
Can I play at Rakebit Casino with all cookies blocked?
Not with everything blocked. Login, deposits and withdrawals rely on strictly necessary cookies. You can safely reject functional, analytics and marketing cookies and still play in full.
How do I change my banner choice later?
Use the Cookie preferences link in the footer of any page. It reopens the banner, and your updated choice applies immediately, including deleting previously set optional cookies.
Do you use cookies for advertising without asking?
No. Marketing cookies are set only after you press Accept in the banner, and they expire after 30 days at most.
