Cookie Policy

A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your device — your computer, phone, or tablet — when you visit. It sits quietly in your browser and is sent back to the website on your next visit so the site can recognise you and remember things you have done before.

Cookies are not programs. They cannot execute code, carry viruses, or access other information on your device. They contain only the data that websites deliberately write into them, and they can only be read by the website that created them.

Alongside traditional cookies, websites also use similar technologies including local storage, session storage, and pixel tags. This policy covers all of these technologies, referred to collectively as "cookies" throughout.

Cookies serve several distinct purposes on the Vegastars Casino platform. Some are genuinely essential — without them you could not log in, make a deposit, or keep your session secure. Others are optional and exist to improve your experience or help us understand how the platform is being used.

We are transparent about every cookie category we use, what each one does, and whether you can disable it. Our approach is to use the minimum number of cookies necessary to deliver a good, secure experience — not to track you for the sake of it.

Where cookies require your consent — specifically analytics, functional, and marketing cookies — we ask for it explicitly when you first visit the site. You can change your preferences at any time through the cookie settings link in the footer.

We use four categories of cookies, each with a different purpose and a different consent requirement. The table below gives you a clear overview. Strictly necessary cookies run automatically — all others require your agreement.

Some cookies on our platform are placed by third parties rather than by us directly. These include analytics providers, advertising networks, and game software studios. We only work with third-party cookie providers who maintain appropriate data protection standards.

Google Analytics is our primary analytics provider. The data it collects is anonymised and aggregated — it tells us how many people visited a page, not who those people are. You can opt out of Google Analytics across all websites using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Game software providers may set their own cookies or use local storage to save game state, preferences, or performance data within their game clients. These are managed by the individual software studios and are subject to their own privacy policies, which are available on their respective websites.

We do not allow third-party advertising cookies to be placed without your explicit consent. If you accept marketing cookies, those third parties may use the data they collect to serve you relevant ads on other websites, subject to their own privacy policies.

The simplest way to manage your cookie preferences on our platform is through the cookie settings panel, which you can access at any time using the link in the footer of any page. From there, you can turn analytics, functional, and marketing cookies on or off without affecting your ability to use the core platform.

You can also control cookies directly through your browser settings. Every major browser gives you the ability to view, block, and delete cookies. The steps vary by browser, but you can find instructions for the most common ones below.

For Chrome: open Settings, click Privacy and Security, then Cookies and other site data. For Firefox: open Settings, click Privacy and Security, then Cookies and Site Data. For Safari: open Preferences, click Privacy, then Manage Website Data. For Edge: open Settings, click Cookies and site permissions, then Cookies and site data.

Be aware that blocking all cookies through your browser settings will prevent strictly necessary cookies from working, which will break login and core account functions. We recommend using our cookie settings panel rather than blanket browser-level blocking if you want to keep using the platform.

Cookies fall into two duration categories: session cookies and persistent cookies. Session cookies exist only for the duration of your visit and are deleted automatically when you close your browser. They are used for things like keeping your login active during a single visit.

Persistent cookies remain on your device after you close your browser and are reactivated when you return to the site. They are used for things like remembering your language preference or keeping you recognised as a returning player. Each persistent cookie has a defined expiry date, listed in the cookie table in this policy.

You can manually delete any persistent cookie at any time through your browser settings. The next time you visit the site, you may be asked to set your preferences again if the cookie that stored them has been removed.

Some browsers offer a Do Not Track (DNT) setting that sends a signal to websites requesting that your browsing activity not be tracked. There is currently no agreed technical standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals, and our platform does not alter its behaviour based on them.

If you want to limit tracking, the most effective approach is to use our cookie settings panel to disable analytics and marketing cookies, or to use your browser's built-in privacy controls to manage cookies directly.

We will update this section if a DNT standard is adopted that we are required or choose to follow.

Some cookies collect data that can be considered personal — for example, an IP address associated with an analytics session, or an identifier linked to an ad interaction. Where cookies collect personal data, that processing is governed by our Privacy Policy.

Strictly necessary cookies process personal data on the basis of contractual necessity — they are required to provide the service you have signed up for. Analytics and functional cookies process data on the basis of legitimate interests or, where required, your consent. Marketing cookies are only placed with your explicit consent.

You can request details of the personal data processed through cookies as part of a data subject access request under our Privacy Policy. Our support team can help you make that request if needed.

The Vegastars Casino mobile application uses similar technologies to the website, including local storage and device identifiers, to deliver the same core functionality — keeping you logged in, saving your preferences, and helping us understand how the app is being used.

Mobile apps do not use browser cookies in the traditional sense, but the categories and purposes are equivalent. Strictly necessary functions run automatically. Analytics and personalisation features can be controlled through the app's privacy settings.

On iOS, you can limit app tracking through Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking. On Android, you can manage ad-related identifiers through Settings > Privacy > Ads. These device-level settings affect all apps, not just Vegastars Casino.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. This could happen if we start using new technologies, change the analytics tools we rely on, or if regulatory requirements change. When we make material changes, we will display a notice on the platform and, where appropriate, ask for your consent again.

The effective date at the top of this page tells you when the policy was last reviewed. If you visit the site after an update and the cookie banner appears again, it means your stored preference has expired or the categories we use have changed enough to warrant a fresh consent.

If you have any questions about how we use cookies or want to understand a specific cookie in more detail, please contact our support team. We will always give you a plain-language explanation rather than a technical specification.
