Cookies on our Goldex guide, in plain terms
A cookie is a small file a site asks a browser to keep, so that a return visit does not start from zero. On an information site like ours, cookies do a quieter job than they do at a casino: they keep pages working, count how the guide gets read and, on commercial links, record that a visit came through us. They serve those purposes and nothing else. No cookie on this site holds a gambling account, a payment detail or an identity, because we run none of those things.
How updates to this policy are announced
Changes to our cookie practices come with a fresh revision, and the date line at the bottom of the managing section moves with each one. A reader who wants certainty checks the date once rather than re-reading the whole policy. A change that widens what cookies do gets its own plain-language note rather than hiding inside a longer edit, because a reader should never learn about a new tracking practice by accident.
The types our pages use
- Essential cookies: the ones that keep navigation and page loading working at all; without them the guide misbehaves
- Analytics cookies: count visits, reading time and which pages lose readers, all in aggregate and never tied to a name
- Preference cookies: remember choices such as a market or a display setting between visits
- Affiliate cookies: on commercial links, record that a visit arrived through us so our coverage can stay funded and independent
- None of the types above hold anything a reader could not read for themselves on this site
Managing and deleting cookies
In the browser
Every major browser keeps cookie controls in its settings: they can block third-party cookies by default, clear stored cookies on exit or wipe everything at once. Clearing cookies signs the reader out of sites that use them and resets preferences, ours included.
Choosing what stays
Blocking analytics and affiliate cookies costs a reader nothing in content — every page of the guide reads the same without them — while essential cookies stay because the pages genuinely need them. The same controls apply per site, so a reader can restrict our guide alone without touching other sites’ settings.
Third-party cookies
Cookies set by parties other than ours arrive through embedded services and commercial links, and each of those parties runs its own policy. A browser set to block third-party cookies keeps them off entirely.
On phones and tablets
Mobile browsers carry the same controls behind their own menus, often under a privacy or site-data heading; clearing site data on a phone removes our cookies exactly as a desktop browser would, and private browsing modes keep cookies for the session only before dropping them.
