Cookie Policy
Last updated: 28 May 2026. This Policy describes how topgamespalace.com uses cookies and similar technologies.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. They can be session-based (deleted when you close the browser) or persistent (remain until they expire or you delete them). Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, pixels, and software development kits used by embedded content, where applicable.
How we use cookies
- Strictly necessary: required to deliver pages securely and to remember essential preferences such as cookie consent state where implemented.
- Functional: may remember UI choices (for example, menu state) to improve usability.
- Analytics (optional): if enabled after consent, aggregated statistics about traffic and engagement.
Strictly necessary cookies and storage keys
We use technologies that are strictly necessary to provide the Site, including security protections, load balancing, and basic session continuity. Where we store your age-gate confirmation or cookie preference in browser storage, that storage is treated as strictly necessary to honour your choices and meet regulatory expectations for age-restricted content presentation. These technologies do not require marketing consent, but you can still clear them through browser controls, which may cause the Site to prompt you again.
Optional analytics and performance
If you accept non-essential cookies, we may deploy analytics technologies that generate aggregate statistics such as page views, approximate geography at country level, device type, and referral sources. We configure such tools to minimise personal data collection, avoid fingerprinting where feasible, and retain data only for operational periods described by the vendor or our internal schedules, whichever is shorter.
Retention and expiry
Cookie lifetimes vary by purpose. Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies expire on the date encoded in the cookie or when you delete them. Local storage keys used for preferences persist until cleared. We review retention periodically and adjust expiry settings where practicable to align with minimisation principles.
Your choices
On first visit you can accept or reject non-essential cookies through our banner. You can also clear cookies via your browser settings; doing so may reset preferences. Browser manufacturers provide guidance on blocking third-party cookies, deleting stored data, and using private browsing modes. If you reject optional cookies, we will not read or write optional analytics cookies for that browser profile, subject to technical limitations.
Third parties
When you leave the Site for an operator, that site sets its own cookies under its policy. We do not control those technologies. Embedded content, if present, may set cookies when you interact with it; we aim to load such content only where appropriate and lawful.
Consent records
Where required, we maintain records of consent including a timestamp and the version of this Policy presented at the time of choice. If you change your mind, you can clear storage or contact us for assistance; some choices can only be reset by clearing browser data.
Do Not Track and global privacy controls
Some browsers transmit "Do Not Track" signals or support global privacy control signals. There is no uniform legal standard requiring a specific response. We treat our cookie banner as the primary mechanism for exercising choice on this Site.
Cookie and storage inventory
The table below summarises categories of technologies we may use on topgamespalace.com. Names and lifetimes may change when we update vendors or site versions; the banner and this Policy remain the authoritative description of purpose.
- Age verification (local storage): remembers that you confirmed you are 18 or over so we do not show the age gate on every visit. Typical retention: until you clear site data or we change the storage key in a site update.
- Cookie consent (local storage): records whether you accepted or rejected non-essential cookies. Typical retention: until cleared or superseded by a new consent version.
- Session and security: may include short-lived identifiers used by hosting infrastructure to deliver pages securely and resist abuse. These are strictly necessary and are not used for cross-site advertising on this Site.
- Optional analytics (if accepted): aggregated visit counts, page paths, approximate device class, and referral channel. We do not use optional analytics to build individual gambling profiles or to sell personal data.
If we introduce new optional categories, we will update this Policy, adjust the consent banner where required, and describe the new purpose before or at the time the technology is activated for users who have not yet made a choice.
Advertising and affiliate measurement
When you click outbound links to licensed operators, those third parties may set their own cookies or use server-side logging under their privacy policies. We do not control operator-side tracking. Our affiliate partners may attribute a referral using query parameters or cookies set on the operator domain after you leave topgamespalace.com. We encourage you to read each operator's cookie notice before registering or depositing.
Managing cookies by browser
Most browsers let you block all cookies, block third-party cookies only, or delete stored data for a single site. Instructions vary: in Chrome, open Settings, then Privacy and security, then Cookies and other site data; in Firefox, open Settings, then Privacy & Security; in Safari, open Settings, then Privacy. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent the Site from remembering your age confirmation or cookie choice and can limit basic functionality. Using private or incognito mode usually clears session cookies when you close the window but may not remove local storage until the session ends or you clear data manually.
Updates
We may revise this Policy to reflect changes in practice or regulation. Material changes will be indicated by updating the date above and, where appropriate, refreshing prompts or summaries on the Site.
