This page explains how Blockspins is covered here on blockspins-casino.co.uk, an independent portal, and specifically how this site itself uses cookies when you browse it. It has nothing to do with cookies the operator's own platform might set once you leave here and register there – that's a separate matter, governed by Blockspins' own policies, not ours. Below, we set out what a cookie actually does on this portal, what gets stored, and how you can switch bits of it off.
Cookies in plain terms
A cookie is a small text file saved to your browser when you visit a site. It doesn't run programs or carry viruses – it just lets a website remember a few facts about your visit, such as whether you've seen a banner already or which pages you looked at. On this portal, cookies exist purely to make the site work properly and to help us understand which content is actually useful.
We group them into four categories, shown below.
| Category | What it does |
|---|---|
| Necessary | Keeps the site functioning – navigation, security, basic settings |
| Analytics | Shows us, in aggregate, how visitors use the site (requires consent) |
| Marketing & advertising | Supports any advertising shown on the portal (requires consent) |
| Preference | Remembers small choices you've made, like language |
What is stored and for how long
Necessary cookies typically expire when you close your browser or shortly after. Analytics and preference cookies tend to persist for longer – often weeks or months – purely to avoid repeatedly asking you the same questions on return visits. We don't store your name, your payment details or anything from a casino account inside these files; there's nothing here that connects back to any account you might hold with an operator.
Marketing cookies, where used, help measure whether our content is useful to visitors coming from search or from other sites. None of this data is sold on, and none of it is shared with Blockspins or any other operator we write about.
Third-party scripts
Some cookies aren't set by us directly. Analytics tools and, where present, advertising scripts are operated by outside providers and follow their own retention rules once the data leaves this domain. We choose these providers carefully, but their own privacy notices – not ours – govern exactly what they keep and for how long.
Declining cookies without breaking the site
You can decline non-essential cookies at any point without losing access to the portal's content. Refusing analytics or marketing cookies simply means we learn less about how the page performed – the articles, tables and reviews still load exactly as before.
- Chrome – Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Firefox – Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari – Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Edge – Settings → Cookies and site permissions
If you clear cookies or block them entirely, a consent banner may reappear on your next visit – that's expected, not a fault.
Updates to this policy
We may revise this page from time to time, for instance when a new analytics tool is added or a legal requirement changes. Any update will be posted here with a new date, so it's worth checking back occasionally rather than relying on a saved copy.
Questions about this cookie policy, or about how the portal itself is run, can be sent to [email protected]. This page was last updated on 6 August 2026.
