Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Lucky Rating Empire uses cookies and similar technologies when you use our website. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy. By using the site, you consent to our use of cookies as described below, unless you have disabled or rejected them via our cookie banner or your browser settings.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the site owner. Cookies can be "first-party" (set by us) or "third-party" (set by another domain, such as an analytics or advertising provider). They can also be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (they remain for a set period or until you delete them). Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixel tags, which may be used for similar purposes.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies only for purposes that are necessary or beneficial to the operation of the site and your experience. We do not use third-party advertising cookies on this website. Specifically, we use cookies to remember that you have confirmed you are aged 18 or over (age verification), so that you are not asked to confirm again during the same session or on return visits depending on how your browser handles session storage. We also use cookies or local storage to remember your cookie consent choice (accept or reject), so that we do not show the cookie banner again on subsequent visits until such time as the stored preference expires or is cleared. We may use strictly necessary cookies that enable basic functions such as page navigation and access to secure areas; these cookies do not store personal data and are typically essential for the website to function. We do not use cookies to track you across other websites or for targeted advertising.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
Strictly necessary cookies: These are essential for the website to function. They enable core functionality such as the age verification gate and storing your cookie consent preference. You cannot opt out of these cookies if you wish to use the site, but they do not collect personal data in a way that identifies you for marketing purposes.
Functional cookies: These allow the site to remember choices you make (such as your cookie preference) and to provide enhanced features. The cookie consent choice is stored in your browser's local storage so that we can honour your decision on future visits.
We do not use performance cookies (e.g. analytics) or marketing cookies on this site. If we introduce such cookies in the future, we will update this policy and seek your consent where required by law.
4. Cookie Consent
When you first visit our website, you will see a cookie banner that allows you to accept or reject non-essential cookies. Your choice is stored locally. If you accept, we will set the cookies described above as needed for the site to operate. If you reject, we will still use strictly necessary cookies required for the age gate and to record that you have made a choice. You can change your mind at any time by clearing your browser's cookies and local storage for this site; the cookie banner will appear again on your next visit and you can make a different choice. You can also manage or delete cookies via your browser settings; see the section below for more information.
5. Third-Party Cookies
Our website contains links to external websites, including online casino operators and partners. When you click on those links and leave our site, the third-party site may set its own cookies on your device. We do not control those cookies and we are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. We encourage you to read the cookie and privacy policies of any third-party site you visit. We do not place third-party advertising or tracking cookies on our own pages.
6. Managing Cookies in Your Browser
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically find these options in the "Options", "Preferences", or "Settings" menu of your browser. You may be able to block all cookies, block only third-party cookies, or delete existing cookies. Please note that if you block or delete strictly necessary cookies, some parts of our site may not work correctly (for example, you may be asked to confirm your age again on each visit, or the cookie banner may reappear each time). For more information on how to manage cookies in your browser, visit the help section of your browser or look for guidance from organisations such as the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) or your local data protection authority.
7. Duration of Cookies
Session cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period (e.g. 12 months) or until you delete them. The age verification state may be stored in session storage, which is cleared when you close the browser tab or window. The cookie consent preference is stored in local storage and may persist until you clear it or until we set an expiry; we do not set an indefinite expiry so that you have the opportunity to review your choice periodically.
8. Updates to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our use of cookies, in our practices, or in the law. The updated version will be posted on this page with a new effective date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Your continued use of the site after we post changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy. If you have any questions about our use of cookies, please contact us at info@luckyratingempire.com.
