1. What this policy covers
This cookie policy explains how Slotpatchgb20 uses cookies, local storage and similar browser-side tools. Some of these items are essential to site behaviour, while others support limited measurement or convenience features. We try to keep storage use narrow and proportionate to the needs of an editorial comparison site.
2. Essential storage
The site uses local storage to remember whether you have confirmed that you are 18 or over and whether you have already made a cookie choice. These settings stop the age gate and consent banner from reappearing on every page load. Without them, the site would be repetitive and less usable. Because these records support a core compliance function, they are treated as necessary for the safe operation of the site.
3. Preference storage
If you accept optional storage, we may also keep lightweight interface preferences in your browser. Examples include remembering the last sort state on a comparison table or the fact that you opened a particular accordion item. These records are there to make the site feel consistent during a browsing session rather than to build a deep behavioural profile.
4. Performance and analytics
We may use analytics tools or comparable measurement methods to understand aggregate traffic, page popularity, broad device patterns and technical issues. This helps us improve layout decisions, detect broken pages and understand whether visitors are finding the material they need. We aim to use these tools in a privacy-aware way and to avoid collecting more information than is reasonably necessary for editorial site improvement.
5. Third-party links and embeds
When you click through to a casino or another external service, that third party may place its own cookies or other identifiers on your device. Those tools are governed by the external site's own policies, not this one. The same applies if a future version of Slotpatchgb20 includes embedded third-party content. We encourage readers to review the destination site's privacy and cookie notices before registering or interacting further.
6. Managing your choices
You can control cookies and storage through your browser settings, private browsing features or by clearing site data. Removing storage may reset the age gate, cookie banner and certain interface preferences. If you block all storage entirely, some functions may behave less smoothly. The right choice depends on your privacy preferences and the device you are using.
7. Relationship with the privacy policy
This cookie notice should be read alongside our privacy policy because some browser-based tools can relate to personal data when combined with other technical information. The privacy policy explains lawful bases, retention, data rights and contact details. This page focuses on the storage mechanisms themselves and the practical reasons they are used.
8. Updates and contact
We may revise this page if our tooling changes or if legal requirements shift. The current version will be posted here. If you have any questions about browser storage on this site, email dataprotection@slotpatchgb20.co.uk. You can also use the consent controls on the banner to accept or decline optional storage when it is offered.
