1. Introduction and Transparency Commitment
At bestebuitenlandseonlinecasino.org, we believe in being clear and open about how we collect and use data related to you. In the spirit of transparency, this policy provides detailed information about how and when we use cookies on our website. This policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them, and the choices you have regarding their use.
2. What Exactly Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are downloaded to your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
First-party cookies: These are set directly by us and are primarily used to recognize your device and maintain your preferences as you navigate the site.
Third-party cookies: These are set by parties other than the website owner, such as providers of advertising, interactive content, and analytics (e.g., Google Analytics).
Session cookies: These are temporary and expire once you close your web browser.
Persistent cookies: These stay on your device for a set period (e.g., 30 days up to 2 years) or until you manually delete them.
3. Detailed Categories of Cookies We Use
We categorize our cookies into the following functional groups:
A. Strictly Necessary Cookies These cookies are essential for the technical operation of our website. They enable core functions such as security, network management, and accessibility. You cannot refuse these cookies without impacting how our website functions.
Legal Basis: These are necessary for the technical provision of the service and do not require user consent under GDPR.
B. Performance and Analytical Cookies These cookies collect information about how visitors interact with our website. This helps us understand which pages are the most popular, identify technical errors, and see how effective our content is.
Mechanism: We use Google Analytics. The data collected is aggregated and anonymized, meaning it does not identify you as an individual. It tracks metrics like time spent on page and bounce rates.
C. Functionality and Preference Cookies These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred language or the specific reviews you have viewed) to provide a more personalized experience.
D. Affiliate Tracking Cookies (Crucial for our Service) As an informational affiliate site, this category is fundamental to our business model. When you click on a link to a partner casino or a “Play Now” button, a persistent cookie is stored on your device.
Purpose: This cookie notifies the partner operator that you were referred by bestebuitenlandseonlinecasino.org. This allows us to receive a commission for the referral, which enables us to keep our content free for all users.
Data Content: These cookies do not store personal details like your name or bank account. They only store an anonymous “Referral ID.”
