Cookies Policy for Bet Buffoon Casino
This Cookies Policy explains how Bet Buffoon Casino and our service providers use cookies and similar browser technologies to support site functionality, remember your preferences, analyse performance, and keep your account secure. The aim is practical and clear guidance about what the technologies do and how you can manage them.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website. They store short pieces of information that help the site remember your actions and settings during and between visits. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixel tags. Together these tools help the site run smoothly and adapt to your choices.
Why cookies are used
Cookies help with three practical goals:
- Functionality: keep you logged in, remember language and display settings, and keep a shopping or bet slip intact during a visit.
- Performance and diagnostics: measure page loading times, identify errors, and aggregate usage data so pages load faster and problems are fixed sooner.
- Preferences and marketing: remember your promotional choices and show offers that are relevant when you open the site again.
Essential cookies
Essential cookies are required for the site to operate. They enable core features such as secure login, session continuity, the cashier interface, and certain security checks. Disabling essential cookies will prevent basic account and site functions from working.
Session cookies
Session cookies last only for the duration of your browser session. They are used to maintain temporary state - for example, to keep you logged in while you move between pages or to preserve the contents of a bet or game selection until you complete an action. These cookies are typically deleted when you close your browser.
Persistent cookies
Persistent cookies remain on your device after the browser is closed. They are used to remember preferences across visits, such as display settings, language choice, and login persistence when you choose to stay signed in. Typical lifetimes can range from several days up to 12 months, depending on the purpose.
Functional cookies
Functional cookies remember choices you make on the site, such as preferred currency, saved filters, or autoplay settings in a game. They make subsequent visits quicker and more convenient by loading your preferences automatically.
Analytics and performance cookies
Analytics cookies collect aggregated information about how visitors use the site. This includes which pages are most visited, how users navigate the site, and browser or device types. Data is analysed in the aggregate to improve layout, speed, and stability. Collected information does not identify you personally when it is processed in aggregate form.
Preference and language settings
Preference cookies store choices like language, time zone, and display mode. Keeping these cookies enabled ensures the site opens in your chosen language and layout without needing to reselect options each visit.
Login and session continuity
Cookies support login persistence and session continuity. When you select a keep-signed-in option, a persistent cookie stores an encrypted token so you remain logged in across browser sessions. Session cookies handle temporary authentication while you are actively using the site. For security, sensitive sessions may require reauthentication after inactivity or when certain account actions are requested.
Device recognition
Device recognition cookies help the site remember devices you use frequently. This speeds up account recovery and can reduce unnecessary security prompts on trusted devices. If a new device is detected, additional checks may be triggered for account protection.
Security-related cookies
Security cookies are used to detect and prevent fraud, secure login flows, and protect the integrity of transactions. They can store short-lived tokens and flags that help identify suspicious behaviour and support automated security checks.
Browser storage technologies
In addition to cookies, the site may use local storage, session storage, and indexedDB. These technologies allow the browser to store larger or structured data, such as temporary game states or UI preferences. Unlike cookies, local storage is not sent to the server on every request, but it serves the same purpose of preserving user choices on the device.
Third-party integrations
We use third-party services for analytics, live chat, payment providers, and content delivery. Those services may set their own cookies when you interact with them. Third-party cookies are controlled by the external provider and are subject to their own policies. Examples include analytics platforms, video players, and payment gateways.
Marketing and communication preferences
Marketing cookies track user behaviour across visits to personalise offers and promotional content. They enable communications that match your interests. You can manage these preferences through the cookie settings panel or via any email communication preferences you have set in your account.
Cookie consent management
On first visit a consent banner allows you to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can change your choices at any time using the cookie settings control on the site footer. Essential cookies cannot be disabled via the banner because they are required for basic functionality.
Browser cookie controls
Your browser provides controls to view, block, or delete cookies. You can set your browser to block third-party cookies, block all cookies, or clear cookies at the end of each session. Note that browser controls override site preferences and may require you to re-enter settings or sign in again.
Clearing or disabling cookies
To clear cookies, open your browser settings, find the privacy or site data section, and remove stored cookies for this site. Disabling cookies may limit functionality. If cookies are disabled, features such as automatic login, saved preferences, and certain interactive sections may not work.
Site functionality impact when cookies are disabled
Disabling cookies may affect:
- Login persistence and single-click access to account areas.
- Saved language and display preferences.
- Ability to complete transactions or use the cashier smoothly.
- Personalised promotions and saved bet or game selections.
Core browsing is still possible, but some interactive features will be limited or require repeated manual input.
Technical diagnostics and performance optimisation
Diagnostic cookies collect error reports and performance metrics to help technical teams identify slow pages, broken links, and other issues. These cookies are invaluable in prioritising fixes and improving load times across devices.
Aggregated analytics information
Analytics data is typically aggregated and anonymised. Common aggregated metrics include page views, session duration, and device types. Aggregation protects individual privacy while providing insights needed to improve features and content placement.
User experience improvements
Data from cookies helps refine navigation, reduce load times, and present relevant games and promotions. Small usability adjustments, such as remembering interface choices or stream quality preferences, are powered by these stored settings to deliver a smoother visit.
How long cookies remain
Cookie lifetimes vary by purpose. Session cookies are removed when you close the browser. Persistent cookies used for preferences or analytics typically last from 7 days up to 12 months. Security tokens and short-term diagnostics are usually set to expire after a few hours or days to reduce risk.
Managing cookie settings
You can change cookie preferences at any time via the cookie settings control accessible from every page. For more granular control use your browser privacy settings to block or delete cookies, or use private browsing modes to avoid persistent storage.
Contact and questions
If you have questions about cookie handling or wish to request more detail about stored data, contact [email protected]. We will respond with clear guidance on available controls and options.
Policy updates
We may update this Cookies Policy to reflect changes in technology or services. When significant changes occur, a notice will be provided on the site and the date of the last update will be shown where applicable.
