Cookie Policy
Last updated: May 2025
This Cookie Policy explains how CasinoHubGuide Ltd (“CasinoHubGuide”, “we”, “us” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which describes in more detail how we process personal information.
By continuing to use CasinoHubGuide after seeing our cookie banner, you can choose whether to accept all cookies or restrict them to those that are strictly necessary for the site to function.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet or mobile) when you visit a website. They help the site recognise your device, remember your preferences and understand how visitors interact with pages and features.
In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies such as local storage, pixels, tags and scripts that work in a comparable way. For simplicity, we refer to all of these as “cookies” in this policy.
2. Who Sets Cookies on CasinoHubGuide?
There are two main types of cookies used on our website:
First-party cookies
These cookies are placed directly by CasinoHubGuide. They are used to make the website work correctly, remember your choices and help us understand how our content is being used.
Third-party cookies
These cookies are set by other organisations whose services we use on our website. They may provide analytics, measurement, advertising or social media features. These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies, which we encourage you to review.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set only in response to actions you take, such as navigating between pages or setting your privacy preferences.
- Maintaining a secure connection to our servers;
- Remembering your cookie consent choices;
- Protecting the site from abuse and fraudulent activity;
- Enabling basic page navigation and loading.
Performance and analytics cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors use CasinoHubGuide by providing information such as which pages are visited most often, how long visitors stay, and how they arrived at the site. The data is aggregated and does not directly identify you.
- Measuring page views and user journeys;
- Identifying popular content and features;
- Detecting technical issues and improving performance;
- Producing anonymised reports about website usage.
Functionality cookies
Functionality cookies allow the site to remember choices you make and provide more tailored features. They may be set by us or by third-party tools integrated into our pages.
- Saving preferred language or region, where applicable;
- Remembering display and accessibility settings;
- Keeping your site preferences for future visits;
- Supporting interactive tools or embedded content.
Marketing and affiliate cookies
Marketing cookies help us and our partners understand which content and offers are most relevant to visitors. On CasinoHubGuide, they are primarily used to measure the performance of affiliate links and marketing campaigns rather than to show personalised adverts.
- Tracking clicks on outbound links to casino brands;
- Measuring which reviews and pages generate the most interest;
- Attributing traffic and conversions to the correct campaigns;
- Supporting our ability to maintain the site through referral revenue.
4. Cookies and Tools We Commonly Use
The tools we use may change from time to time, but examples include:
Analytics tools
- Website analytics platforms that collect aggregated information about page views, traffic sources and device types;
- Performance monitoring tools that measure loading times and technical errors;
- Heatmap or behaviour tools (where used) to understand how visitors interact with key sections.
Affiliate and tracking links
- Unique identifiers that indicate which CasinoHubGuide link you clicked before visiting an operator;
- Cookies used by affiliate platforms to confirm referrals and calculate commissions;
- Technical parameters that prevent duplicate counting and improve report accuracy.
We aim to use these tools in a way that respects your privacy and only collect the minimum data needed to operate CasinoHubGuide and measure its performance.
5. How Long Do Cookies Last?
Cookies may either be “session” or “persistent” cookies:
Session cookies
These cookies are temporary and disappear when you close your browser. They are used for things like page-to-page navigation, short-term security checks and remembering actions during a single visit.
Persistent cookies
These cookies remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them. They allow us to recognise you when you return to the site, remember your preferences and maintain longer-term analytics.
The specific duration for each cookie can vary, but we aim to keep retention periods proportionate to their purpose and not store data longer than necessary.

Depending on the purpose of the cookie, we rely on different legal bases, such as:
- Consent – for non-essential cookies, analytics and marketing tools;
- Legitimate interests – for essential security and operational cookies needed to run the website;
- Legal obligations – where cookies support compliance or record-keeping requirements.
9. Updates to This Cookie Policy
