Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how our website uses cookies and similar technologies to keep everything running smoothly, improve performance, strengthen security, and help you get a more personalized experience. It also explains your choices, including how to manage or disable cookies.

This policy applies when you visit our site on desktop or mobile, including any pages where you compare casinos, games, or promotions, such as our Pinnacle review.

What Cookies Are (In Plain English)

Cookies are small text files that a website saves on your device when you visit. They help the site “remember” information, like your preferences, your session status, or how you move through pages.

Some cookies are set by us (first-party cookies). Others are set by companies we work with (third-party cookies), such as analytics or advertising partners.

How Cookies Help You (And Why We Use Them)

We use cookies to support clarity and fairness in how the site works. In practical terms, cookies can help us:

• Keep the site secure and prevent abuse or suspicious activity
• Make pages load properly and maintain stable performance
• Remember your settings (like language, region, or display preferences)
• Understand which pages are useful, and which need improvement
• Measure traffic and site engagement so we can build a better experience over time
• Show relevant content and limit repeated ads (where advertising is used)

Cookies do not magically give us access to your device. They simply store identifiers and preference data that your browser shares back with the site under controlled rules.

The Different Types of Cookies We Use

Cookies generally fall into a few categories. Depending on how you use the site, we may use some or all of the following.

Essential Cookies - The “Site Must Work” Cookies

Essential cookies are required for core site functionality and security. They help with things like:

• Page navigation and basic features
• Security protections, including fraud prevention
• Load balancing and system stability

Because these cookies are necessary to deliver the service, they are typically enabled by default. If you block them, parts of the site may not work correctly.

Functional Cookies - Your Preferences, Saved

Functional cookies help remember choices you make so the site feels more natural each time you visit. For example, they may store:

• Display preferences
• Content settings you’ve selected
• Form inputs you’ve already provided (where applicable)

Blocking functional cookies won’t usually break the site, but it can reduce convenience and make the experience feel less consistent.

Performance and Analytics Cookies - Better Speed, Better Experience

Performance cookies (including analytics cookies) help us understand how visitors use the site. They can show:

• Which pages get the most visits
• How long pages take to load
• Whether users encounter errors
• How people move through the site (so we can improve flow and readability)

This information is used in an aggregated way to improve momentum and usability, not to identify you personally.

Marketing Cookies - Relevance and Ad Controls

Marketing cookies may be used to show content and advertisements that are more relevant to you, measure campaign performance, and help prevent the same ad from repeating too often.

If you disable marketing cookies, you may still see ads, but they may be less tailored to your interests. In some cases, disabling these cookies can reduce how well we can limit ad frequency.

Third-Party Cookies and Services

Some features on our site may rely on third-party tools. These providers may place or read cookies through our site to deliver their services. Common examples include:

• Analytics providers that help us measure traffic and performance
• Advertising or attribution partners that help us understand marketing effectiveness
• Embedded content providers (such as video or interactive widgets), if used on a page

Third-party cookie behavior is governed by the third party’s own policies. We recommend reviewing their privacy and cookie documentation for full details.

Your Consent and Cookie Choices

Where required by law, we ask for your consent before placing non-essential cookies (like analytics or marketing cookies). You can also change your preferences later through our cookie banner or preference tool, when available on the site.

If a cookie preference tool is not available on a specific page, you can still control cookies using your browser settings (details below).

How to Manage, Disable, or Delete Cookies

You’re always in control. Most browsers let you review, block, or delete cookies through settings. You can usually:

• Delete existing cookies stored on your device
• Block all cookies, or only third-party cookies
• Set rules for specific sites
• Choose to clear cookies automatically when you close your browser

Here’s the trade-off to keep in mind: disabling cookies can affect functionality. For example, you may need to reset preferences, some pages may not display as intended, and certain tools may not work reliably.

To manage cookies, check your browser’s help section. Popular options include Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, and Microsoft Edge.

What Happens If You Block Cookies?

Blocking cookies can create a less balanced experience. Depending on what you disable, it may:

• Break essential site features (if essential cookies are blocked)
• Reset your settings every visit (if functional cookies are blocked)
• Reduce our ability to spot errors and improve performance (if analytics cookies are blocked)
• Make ads less relevant, and increase repeat ads (if marketing cookies are blocked)

If you want maximum control without losing core functionality, a common approach is to allow essential cookies, then choose whether to allow analytics and marketing cookies.

How Long Cookies Stay on Your Device

Cookies can be:

• Session cookies - they expire when you close your browser
• Persistent cookies - they remain for a set period, or until you delete them

We aim to keep cookie durations reasonable and aligned with their purpose.

Policy Updates - Staying Transparent

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or how the site operates. When we make material updates, we will post the revised version on this page and update the effective date.

Effective date: July 7, 2026.
