Smooth Spins Casino Cookies Policy
Smooth Spins Casino uses cookies and similar technologies to help its website operate effectively, provide a consistent user experience, understand how visitors use the site, and support relevant communications. This Cookies Policy explains what these technologies are, the purposes for which they may be used, and the choices available to visitors.
This policy applies to visitors and account holders who access Smooth Spins Casino online from the United Kingdom or elsewhere. It should be read together with the casino's other privacy and website notices. If you have questions about this policy, you may contact [email protected].
What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files placed on a computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device when a website is visited. They allow the website to recognise a device and remember certain information about a visit. Some cookies are stored only for the duration of a browsing session, while others remain on a device for a defined period or until they are deleted.
Cookies can be set directly by Smooth Spins Casino. These are commonly referred to as first-party cookies. Cookies may also be placed by service providers that support website functions, analytics, security, communications, or advertising. These are generally known as third-party cookies.
In addition to traditional cookies, the casino may use comparable technologies, such as pixels, tags, local storage, or device-related identifiers. Where this policy refers to cookies, it also covers these similar technologies when they serve a comparable purpose.
Types of Cookies
Cookies used on the Smooth Spins Casino website may be grouped according to their purpose. The categories below describe the main ways in which cookies can support the website and its services.
- Essential cookies help the website function, maintain security, and provide services requested by a visitor.
- Performance cookies collect information about website use so that pages and features can be assessed and improved.
- Functional cookies remember choices and preferences to provide a more convenient experience.
- Marketing cookies may help measure campaigns and present communications that are more relevant to a visitor's interests.
A single cookie may support more than one activity, although it will normally be classified according to its principal purpose. The availability of particular cookies may change as the website, its features, or its supporting services develop.
Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are required for core website operations. Without them, certain pages, account functions, or security controls may not work as intended. These cookies are generally used to deliver a service specifically requested by the visitor or to support the secure operation of the website.
Examples of activities supported by essential cookies may include:
- Keeping a visitor's session active while moving between pages.
- Supporting account sign-in and authentication processes.
- Maintaining information entered into forms or required during a transaction.
- Applying security controls and helping identify unusual or harmful activity.
- Balancing website traffic to help maintain reliable performance.
- Remembering cookie consent choices where those choices have been provided.
Because these cookies support necessary website functions, disabling them may affect access to some parts of Smooth Spins Casino. They are not generally used to create a marketing profile or to record browsing activity for unrelated advertising purposes.
Performance Cookies
Performance cookies help Smooth Spins Casino understand how visitors interact with the website. They may provide information about the pages viewed, the features used, the time spent on a page, navigation paths, loading performance, or whether an error has occurred.
The information collected through these cookies is used to identify areas for improvement. For example, it may help the casino recognise pages that are difficult to use, understand whether website content is being accessed successfully, and assess how technical changes affect performance.
Performance information may be collected in an aggregated or otherwise limited form. It is intended to support website analysis and development rather than to identify a visitor personally. Where an analytics provider processes information on behalf of Smooth Spins Casino, its access may be subject to contractual, technical, and organisational controls.
Visitors who decline performance cookies can usually continue to use the main website, although the casino may have less information available to diagnose issues or improve the online experience.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow the website to remember preferences and choices. They can make repeat visits more convenient by reducing the need to select the same options again.
Depending on the features available, functional cookies may remember items such as:
- Preferred language or display settings.
- Region or website presentation preferences.
- Choices made in relation to website features.
- Information that helps display the appropriate version of a page.
Functional cookies are not always essential to the basic operation of the website. If they are refused or removed, some preferences may need to be selected again and certain features may operate with more limited personalisation. The availability of these cookies does not mean that every possible preference will be stored.
Marketing Cookies
Marketing cookies may be used to measure promotional activity, understand how visitors reach the website, and help deliver communications or advertising that may be more relevant. They may record interactions with online content, such as whether an advertisement was viewed or whether a visitor arrived after selecting a promotional link.
These cookies can also help limit repeated advertising, assess the effectiveness of campaigns, and provide general audience information. Marketing cookies may be set by Smooth Spins Casino or by selected third parties acting in connection with promotional services.
Marketing cookies are not necessary for browsing the core website. Visitors can manage or refuse them through the cookie settings made available on the website or through browser controls. Refusing these cookies may not remove all advertising, but it can reduce the relevance of advertising and limit campaign measurement.
Marketing activity does not change the requirement for visitors to meet the applicable minimum age for gambling services. Smooth Spins Casino is intended for persons aged 18 and over, and visitors should use the website responsibly.
Managing Cookies
Visitors can control cookies in several ways. When available, the website cookie banner or preference centre can be used to accept, refuse, or adjust optional cookie categories. Choices may be changed later by returning to the relevant cookie settings tool, if provided.
Most modern browsers also allow users to view, block, delete, or restrict cookies. Browser controls differ, but they are usually found in privacy, security, or website settings. Visitors should consult the help information for their chosen browser or device for instructions.
Blocking all cookies may affect the operation of Smooth Spins Casino. In particular, disabling essential cookies may prevent account access, interrupt sessions, affect security measures, or stop certain requested services from being delivered. Deleting cookies may also remove saved preferences and require consent choices to be made again.
Cookie controls generally apply at device or browser level. If a visitor uses more than one device or browser, settings may need to be applied separately. Private browsing modes may also remove some cookies when the browsing session ends, but they do not necessarily prevent all forms of data collection or website logging.
Third-Party Cookies
Some website functions may be supported by third-party providers. These providers may place cookies or use similar technologies to deliver services such as analytics, security, embedded content, payment-related support, communications, or campaign measurement.
Third-party cookies are governed by the relevant provider's own practices and notices. Smooth Spins Casino does not control every setting or technology used by an external provider, and the providers may change their cookie names, purposes, or retention periods as their services are updated.
Where third-party services are used, Smooth Spins Casino aims to select services that are appropriate for the relevant website function and to limit access to information needed for that purpose. Visitors should review the privacy and cookie information published by third parties if they require further details about how those providers process information.
External websites may also be accessible through links or content displayed on the casino website. A link to another website does not mean that Smooth Spins Casino controls its cookie practices. Visitors should check the privacy information of any external website before providing information or continuing to browse.
Policy Updates
Smooth Spins Casino may update this Cookies Policy when website features, technology, service providers, or operational practices change. An updated version will be made available on the relevant website page, and the date or other version information may be amended where appropriate.
Visitors should review this policy from time to time to remain informed about the way cookies and similar technologies are used. Where a change requires a new or renewed choice, the website may display an updated cookie notice or preference request.
Continued use of the website after an updated policy has been made available does not override any choices that the visitor has made through the available cookie controls. The settings selected by a visitor will be handled in accordance with the options presented at the time of consent or refusal.
