This page sets out how Fish and Spins Casino information portal (fish-and-spins.org.uk) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our site. We collect and process certain data through cookies to make the portal work, to understand how visitors navigate our content, and to improve the experience we offer.
What Cookies Are and Why We Use Them
A cookie is a small text file placed on your device by a website. Cookies help the site recognise your browser on return visits, remember your preferences, and measure how the portal performs. We use cookies for four purposes: to keep the site functional, to remember your choices, to analyse visitor behaviour, and to show relevant advertising where we work with partners.
Categories of Cookies on This Site
Strictly necessary cookies enable core features such as page navigation and access to secure areas. The portal cannot function properly without them, so they are set automatically when you visit.
Functional cookies remember choices you make – language preference, text size or region selection – so you do not have to set them again. These cookies improve usability but are not essential to browsing the site.
Analytical cookies collect anonymised data about how visitors use fish-and-spins.org.uk: which pages are viewed, how long a session lasts, and where visitors arrive from. We use this information to refine content and fix navigation issues.
Advertising cookies track your activity across websites to build a profile of your interests. Partners may use these cookies to show you relevant offers on other sites. We do not control third-party advertising cookies directly.
First-Party and Third-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are set by fish-and-spins.org.uk itself. Third-party cookies come from external services embedded in our pages, such as analytics platforms or advertising networks. Both types are listed in the table below, along with their purpose and duration.
| Cookie name | Type | Purpose | Duration |

Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You can accept, refuse or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you block all cookies, block third-party cookies only, or receive a prompt before a cookie is set. Instructions are usually found in the Help or Settings menu of your browser.
Blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent parts of fish-and-spins.org.uk from working. Blocking functional or analytical cookies may limit features but will not stop you reading the content. You can revisit your choice at any time by clearing your browser's cookie store or adjusting the settings.
Cookies Set by External Services
Fish and Spins information portal embeds content and tools from external providers – analytics platforms, advertising networks and social-media widgets. Each provider may set its own cookies when you load a page that contains their code. We do not control these cookies directly. The external provider's privacy policy explains what data they collect and how they use it.
Updates to This Policy
We review and update this cookie policy whenever we add a new service, change a provider, or adjust how we collect data. The current version is dated 6 January 2026. Changes take effect immediately upon publication, and we recommend checking this page periodically if you want to stay informed about our cookie practices.
