Legitimate Interests — for site analytics, spam prevention, and security monitoring.
Legal Obligation — where we are required by law to process or retain data.

5. Cookies

Casino World Reviews uses cookies — small text files stored on your device — to enhance your experience and gather analytics. The cookies we use fall into four categories:

Strictly Necessary Cookies: Essential for site functionality (e.g., session cookies, CSRF protection). Cannot be disabled without breaking the site.
Analytics Cookies: We use Google Analytics (anonymised IP) and similar tools to understand how visitors interact with our content. You may opt out via your browser settings or the Google Analytics opt-out extension.
Preference Cookies: Remember your settings such as comment form details, if you opt in.
Affiliate Tracking Cookies: When you click through to a casino via our affiliate links, a cookie may be set on the casino’s domain to attribute the referral. We do not control those cookies. Please review the casino’s own privacy policy.

You can manage or withdraw cookie consent at any time via your browser settings or our cookie consent banner. Withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

We share data with the following categories of third parties only where necessary:
