Understanding how we use cookies and similar technologies on our website.
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used across the internet to make websites work more efficiently, to improve the user experience, and to provide reporting information to website owners.
Cookies are stored on your device's hard drive or in your browser's memory. They contain information that is transferred to your device and can be read by the website that placed them, or by third-party services that interact with the website. Cookies do not typically contain personal information that directly identifies you, but they can be used in combination with other data to recognise your device and track your browsing behaviour.

BestNonUKCasino uses cookies and similar technologies for several purposes. We categorise our cookies into three main types based on their function:
These cookies are strictly necessary for the Website to function properly. Without them, certain features of the Website would not work. Essential cookies do not require your consent under applicable law because they are necessary for the provision of the service you have requested.

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Website by collecting and reporting information about usage patterns. The data collected is typically aggregated and anonymised, meaning it does not identify individual users. We use this information to improve the Website, understand which content is most useful, and identify technical issues.
We use Google Analytics as our primary analytics service. Google Analytics places cookies on your device to collect data such as which pages you visit, how long you spend on each page, how you arrived at the Website, and general demographic information. We have enabled IP anonymisation in Google Analytics, which means your full IP address is never stored by Google.
Marketing and affiliate cookies are used to track visitors across websites and to display relevant content. On BestNonUKCasino, these cookies are primarily used for affiliate tracking purposes. When you click an affiliate link to visit a casino site, tracking cookies are placed on your device by our affiliate partners. These cookies enable the affiliate network to attribute your visit to BestNonUKCasino, which is how we earn commissions that fund our operations.
Affiliate tracking cookies may also be used by our partners to prevent fraud, measure campaign performance, and ensure accurate commission reporting. Each affiliate partner operates their own cookie and tracking systems with their own privacy policies.

Google Analytics is a web analytics service provided by Google LLC. It uses cookies to help us analyse how visitors use the Website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the Website (including your anonymised IP address) is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers that may be located outside the UK. Google uses this information to compile reports on website activity for us and to provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required by law or where third parties process data on Google's behalf.
You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on.
When you click on an affiliate link on our Website, you are redirected through an affiliate tracking system before arriving at the destination casino site. During this redirect, the affiliate network places cookies on your device to record the referral. These cookies typically store a unique click identifier and may persist for 30 to 90 days, depending on the specific affiliate programme. The data collected is used solely for affiliate commission attribution and fraud prevention.
Our Website uses Cloudflare for content delivery, performance optimisation, and security. Cloudflare may set cookies for bot management and security purposes. These are classified as essential cookies because they are necessary for the secure operation of the Website.

You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting data about your visits by installing the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on. This add-on instructs the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js, analytics.js, and dc.js) running on websites to prohibit sending information to Google Analytics.
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that sends a signal to websites requesting that they do not track the user's activity. There is currently no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. At present, our Website does not respond to DNT signals. If a standard is established in the future, we will review and update our practices accordingly.
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, changes in applicable law, or for other operational reasons. We will post the updated Cookie Policy on this page and update the "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
