Winthere Casino Cookie Policy explains how cookies and similar tracking technologies are used on the site. Cookies are small text files that get stored on your device when you visit a website. They make modern sites possible by remembering things like whether you are logged in, what language you prefer and which promotions you have already dismissed. We use cookies sparingly and we make it easy for you to control which ones are active through the consent banner that appears on your first visit.
What types of cookies does Winthere use?
We group cookies into four categories. Necessary cookies are required for the site to function, such as the session cookie that keeps you logged in or the cookie that remembers your cookie consent choice. These are always on because the site cannot work without them. Analytical cookies help us understand how players use the site, which pages get visited most often and where people drop off. Functional cookies remember preferences like your chosen language, currency and game filters. Marketing cookies are used to measure the performance of our promotional campaigns and to show relevant offers across other sites you visit. All non necessary categories can be toggled on or off from the cookie settings.
How do I change my cookie preferences?
You can update your preferences at any time by clicking the cookie icon in the footer of any page, which reopens the consent banner. From there you can switch individual categories on or off and save the new selection. Your browser also gives you control over cookies through its settings menu. You can block all cookies, allow only first party cookies or clear existing cookies whenever you want. Be aware that blocking necessary cookies will prevent the site from working properly, including stopping you from staying logged in.
Do you use third party cookies?
Yes, a small number. Google Analytics provides aggregated, anonymised insight into how the site is performing. The game windows themselves use cookies set by the game studios that supply each title. Payment providers set cookies during the deposit and withdrawal flows so they can secure the transaction. Each of these third parties has its own privacy policy explaining how they use the data they collect. We choose partners carefully and we only work with providers that meet UK GDPR standards for data protection.
How long do cookies stay on my device?
Session cookies are temporary and disappear as soon as you close your browser. Persistent cookies stay on your device for a defined period, ranging from a few days for preference cookies up to two years for some analytical cookies. The full list of cookies we use, including their names, purposes and durations, is available in the detailed cookie table inside the consent banner. We review the list regularly and remove any cookies that are no longer needed, so the actual number active on the site tends to be smaller than the maximum.
Cookies are an unavoidable part of how the modern web works, but we believe you should be in control of what gets stored on your device. The consent banner gives you a clear choice, the settings let you change your mind whenever you want, and we never use cookies for purposes you have not agreed to. If you have any questions about how cookies are used on Winthere, please contact our support team through the help page.
What is the difference between first and third party cookies?
First party cookies are set directly by the Winthere domain and are used for things like keeping you logged in, remembering your language preference and storing your cookie consent choices. They are read only by the Winthere site itself and are essential for the core experience. Third party cookies are set by external providers whose code runs inside Winthere pages, such as the game studio that supplies a slot, the analytics tool that measures usage, or the payment provider that processes a deposit. Each third party operates under its own privacy policy and we list the categories we work with inside the consent banner. Most modern browsers now block third party cookies by default for cross site tracking, and we support that direction with first party alternatives where possible.
How do cookies interact with my account data?
Cookies do not store personal information like your name, email address or payment details. They typically hold a short identifier that links your browser session to your account on the server side, plus small preference values. The actual sensitive data sits in our secure databases and is governed by the Privacy Policy. If you clear cookies in your browser you will simply be logged out and your preferences will reset, but your underlying account remains intact and you can sign in again to restore everything. The cookie identifier itself is rotated regularly and tied to other security signals so that a stolen cookie cannot be used by an attacker to impersonate you for very long.
What if I want to opt out of marketing cookies entirely?
You can opt out of marketing cookies at any time through the consent banner and the choice persists across all future sessions on the same browser. Doing so means you will still see promotions on Winthere itself, but the casino will not measure the effectiveness of its external advertising campaigns through your visits, and you may see more generic adverts on other sites. The opt out also propagates to our advertising partners so that previously stored targeting data is dropped. For players who want broader controls over how the casino interacts with them, the Responsible Gambling page covers communication preferences, deposit limits and the option to turn off promotional emails entirely.
How do cookies behave on mobile devices?
Mobile browsers handle cookies in the same way as desktop browsers, with a few extra restrictions added in recent years to limit cross site tracking. Safari on iOS uses Intelligent Tracking Prevention which automatically clears certain third party cookies after a short period, and Firefox and Edge on Android apply similar protections by default. Winthere is designed to work properly under these restrictions, so the core experience does not degrade if your browser is set to block third party cookies. If you bookmark Winthere to your home screen and launch it as a progressive web app, the cookie behaviour is identical to the regular browser version. Clearing site data from the browser settings is the equivalent of clearing cookies and will log you out across all devices.
