What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give website operators information about how their site is being used.
Cookies can be "persistent" (remaining on your device for a set period or until you delete them) or "session" cookies (deleted automatically when you close your browser). They can be set by the website you are visiting ("first-party cookies") or by third-party services that the website uses ("third-party cookies").
Types of Cookies We Use
CasinoUK.Expert uses the following categories of cookies:
Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the Website to function correctly. They enable core functionality such as page navigation, security features, and access to secure areas. The Website cannot function properly without these cookies, and they cannot be disabled.
Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our Website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. They allow us to measure traffic, identify the most popular pages, and understand how visitors navigate the site. This information helps us improve the Website and the content we produce.
Affiliate Tracking Cookies
When you click on an affiliate link to a third-party casino website, a cookie may be placed on your device to track the referral. This allows the casino operator's affiliate programme to attribute the referral to CasinoUK.Expert, enabling us to receive a commission if you subsequently register and make a deposit. These cookies are set by the third-party casino's affiliate tracking system, not by CasinoUK.Expert directly.

Cookie Consent
When you first visit the Website, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept or reject non-essential cookies. Your preference is stored in a cookie so that you are not asked again on subsequent visits.
You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the Website, at which point the consent banner will appear again.
Essential cookies are always active as they are necessary for the Website to function. You do not need to provide consent for essential cookies, and they cannot be disabled through the consent banner.
