Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Cider Casino uses cookies and similar technologies on our website and related pages (including our social sweepstakes casino experience). It covers what cookies are, why we use them, what types may be set, how third parties may be involved, and how you can control your preferences.

This policy should be read alongside our other terms and privacy disclosures, including our Cider Casino review.

Cookies, Explained in Plain English

A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your device (like your computer, phone, or tablet). Cookies help a site “remember” things, such as your login status, language choices, security checks, and how you move through pages.

Some cookies last only while your browser is open (session cookies). Others stay on your device for a longer period (persistent cookies) so the website can recognize your browser later.

We may also use similar tools, like pixels, SDKs, local storage, and device identifiers. For simplicity, this policy refers to all of these as “cookies.”

Why We Use Cookies: Functionality, Security, Performance, and a Better Experience

We use cookies to keep the site working smoothly, protect accounts, and improve how everything runs. These technologies can help us:

• Keep you signed in and maintain your session as you move between pages
• Help prevent fraud, abuse, suspicious logins, and automated traffic
• Remember preferences (like basic settings and choices you make on-site)
• Understand which pages perform well, where errors happen, and how to fix them
• Measure site traffic and feature usage so we can improve navigation and speed
• Support marketing and promotions where allowed and where you’ve given the proper permissions

We do not use cookies to guarantee outcomes or affect game results. Gameplay and any promotional terms are governed by our site rules and applicable terms.

The Cookie Types You May See on Cider Casino

Different cookies serve different purposes. Depending on how you use the site, some or all of the categories below may apply.

Essential Cookies: The “Must-Have” Basics

Essential cookies are required for the website to operate. Without them, key features may not function properly, such as:

Account access, authentication, and security checks Load balancing and basic site performance delivery Fraud prevention and protection against malicious activity Remembering privacy choices where legally required

Because these cookies are necessary to provide the service, they usually can’t be turned off through a cookie banner. You can still block them in your browser settings, but the site may not work correctly if you do.

Functional Cookies: Preferences That Make Things Smoother

Functional cookies help the site remember choices you’ve made so your experience feels more consistent. For example, these cookies may remember:

Your language and basic display preferences Whether you’ve dismissed certain messages User experience settings that help pages behave the way you expect

If you disable functional cookies, the site can still work, but it may feel less personalized, and you might need to reselect preferences more often.

Performance and Analytics Cookies: Helping Us Improve Speed and Usability

Performance and analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the site. They allow us to measure things like:

Which pages are visited most often How long pages take to load Clicks, navigation paths, and feature usage Errors, crashes, or slowdowns we need to fix

These insights help us improve fairness, clarity, and momentum in the user experience by focusing on what’s actually happening on the site, not guesswork. Where required, we will request your consent before setting non-essential analytics cookies.

Marketing Cookies: Promotions, Measurement, and Relevance (When Allowed)

Marketing cookies may be used to help deliver and measure advertising, limit how often you see a promotion, or understand whether a campaign performed well. They may be set by us or by third-party partners.

If marketing cookies are enabled, they can:

Track visits across pages or sessions to measure campaign performance Help show more relevant offers based on general browsing behavior Support “retargeting” where permitted by law and platform policies

If you opt out of marketing cookies, you may still see promotions, but they may be less relevant, and campaign measurement may be less accurate.

Third-Party Cookies and Services: What That Means for You

Some cookies may be placed by third parties that provide services we use for operations and security, such as analytics tools, fraud prevention, site performance services, or advertising measurement partners.

Third-party cookies are controlled by those third parties, not by Cider Casino, and their use is governed by their own policies. We aim to work with reputable providers and use configurations that support security and responsible data handling.

Your Choices: Consent, Cookie Banners, and Preference Controls

Where required, we ask for your consent before placing non-essential cookies (like analytics and marketing cookies). If you see a cookie banner or preference tool, you can typically:

Accept all cookies Reject non-essential cookies Customize cookie categories

If you change your mind later, you can adjust your choices through the same preference tool (if available) and/or by managing cookies in your browser settings.

How to Disable or Delete Cookies in Your Browser

You can manage cookies at any time in your browser settings. Most browsers let you:

Delete existing cookies Block all cookies or only third-party cookies Set rules for specific websites Clear cookies automatically when you close the browser

Here’s the trade-off: if you block or delete cookies, parts of the site may stop working as intended. You might be logged out unexpectedly, some pages may not load properly, and certain preferences or security checks may fail.

If you use multiple devices or browsers, you’ll need to update settings on each one.

“Do Not Track” and Similar Signals

Some browsers offer “Do Not Track” signals. Because there is no single, consistent industry standard for how to interpret these signals, our response may vary depending on the tools and configurations in use. We focus on giving you clear controls through cookie preferences and browser settings.

How Often We Update This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or how we operate the site. When we make changes, we will revise the policy content accordingly, and we encourage you to check back periodically for the latest details.
