Our position on cookies
A cookie is a small file your browser stores so a site can recognise the same visit from one page to the next. Some are structural and some are optional, and we would rather be exact about which is which.
The commitment in one sentence
Nothing optional is set before you choose. Only strictly necessary cookies are placed on arrival at BlackFin Casino, and functional, analytics and marketing cookies wait for consent.
What each category does
| Category | Purpose | What declining changes |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Keeps a session logged in and secures forms | Cannot be declined; the platform stops working |
| Functional | Remembers language, currency and layout | Preferences reset between visits |
| Analytics | Counts visits and shows where sessions stop | Nothing about play or account access |
| Marketing | Measures whether a campaign led to a visit | Nothing about play or account access |
Declining all three optional categories leaves every game and every account function available. Nothing on the platform is gated behind a cookie choice, which is the point of asking rather than assuming.
How long each lasts
Session cookies are removed when the browser closes. Persistent cookies remain for a defined period so a preference survives between visits, and each has its own lifetime rather than one shared figure [insert cookie lifetimes].
Changing your mind
1. Open cookie settings from the link in the BlackFin Casino footer.
2. Switch functional, analytics and marketing on or off individually.
3. Save — the change applies immediately and is remembered next visit.
Cookies can also be blocked or cleared in the browser itself. Clearing them removes the record of the choice as well, so the consent prompt returns on the next visit — and blocking strictly necessary cookies there will stop a login from persisting.
Cookies we do not control
Some are set by providers whose services appear on the platform, including payment providers at the point of a transaction and game studios inside their own titles. Those providers publish their own notices; the categories above describe the purposes BlackFin Casino permits [insert third-party providers].
What the data is used for
Where a cookie can be linked to an account, the resulting data is handled under our privacy notice. Analytics and marketing data help us understand how the platform performs rather than build a profile of an individual player, and we do not sell data collected this way.
Cookie settings can be changed at any time from the platform footer. Available to players aged 18 and over. Gamble responsibly. Support: GambleAware · GamCare · Gamblers Anonymous
