How BetCrown Casino Uses Cookies
This Cookie Policy explains how BetCrown Casino uses cookies and similar storage or access technologies when you visit https://betcrown-casino-uk.com/. It describes what these technologies do, why they are used and how visitors in the United Kingdom can control them.
This policy should be read together with the Privacy Policy, which explains how personal data is collected, processed, retained and protected.
Legal Framework
Our use of cookies is governed by the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003, as amended, the UK General Data Protection Regulation, the Data Protection Act 2018 and other applicable United Kingdom privacy legislation.
Cookies that are strictly necessary to provide a service requested by you may be placed without prior consent. Other storage and access technologies are used only where an applicable legal exception applies or after you have made a valid choice through the cookie controls.
Where statistical, appearance or functionality technologies qualify for an exemption under applicable law, BetCrown Casino provides clear information and a simple way to object. Advertising, profiling and cross-site tracking technologies are not activated before the required consent has been obtained.
What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files stored on a computer, smartphone, tablet or other connected device when a website is accessed. They may contain an identifier and information about the browser, device, selected preferences or interaction with the website.
The term cookies in this policy also covers comparable technologies, including:
- browser and local storage;
- software development kits;
- tracking pixels and web beacons;
- scripts, tags and plug-ins;
- device identifiers;
- link decoration and navigational tracking;
- other technologies that store information on, or access information from, a device.
Types of Cookies Used
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies support functions required for the website to operate securely and deliver services requested by the visitor. They cannot normally be disabled through the preference centre because doing so may prevent essential features from working.
Strictly necessary cookies may be used to:
- maintain secure sessions and protect account access;
- process navigation between pages;
- remember privacy and cookie choices;
- detect suspicious traffic, fraud or attempted misuse;
- support age, identity and jurisdictional controls where applicable;
- balance network traffic and maintain website availability;
- retain information entered during a requested process;
- provide security, accessibility and authentication functions.
Performance and Statistical Cookies
These technologies help BetCrown Casino understand how the website is used. They may record information such as visited pages, general traffic sources, browser type, device category, loading errors and the time spent using particular features.
Where the legal requirements for the statistical-purpose exception are satisfied, first-party analytics may be used solely to improve the website without prior consent. In that situation, the information is not used to identify or profile a visitor, is not shared for another party’s independent purposes and a simple objection mechanism is provided. Analytics that do not meet these conditions remain disabled until consent is given.
Functionality and Preference Cookies
Functionality cookies remember choices that affect how the website appears or operates. These choices may include language, region, display settings and other preferences selected by the visitor.
Some appearance or preference technologies may be used under an applicable legal exception after clear information and an objection option have been provided. Any functionality technology falling outside that exception is used only with the visitor’s consent.
Advertising and Targeting Cookies
Advertising cookies may be used to measure campaigns, limit repeated advertisements, create interest profiles or select advertising based on browsing activity. Because these technologies can track activity across websites or services, they require prior consent.
BetCrown Casino does not treat general acceptance of website terms, continued browsing, inactivity or pre-selected settings as consent to advertising cookies. Refusing these cookies does not prevent access to core website content, although advertising may be less relevant.
Security and Regulatory Technologies
Certain technologies may help protect users and meet legal or regulatory duties associated with online gambling. Depending on the service and the user’s interaction, they may assist with account security, fraud prevention, age and identity controls, self-exclusion measures, responsible gambling safeguards or the prevention of duplicate and unauthorised accounts.
These technologies are classified according to their actual purpose. A security function is not automatically treated as strictly necessary if it is also used for marketing, profiling or an unrelated commercial purpose.
Session and Persistent Cookies
Session cookies operate during a browsing session and normally expire when the browser is closed. Persistent cookies remain on the device after the session ends and expire at the end of their configured retention period or when deleted by the user.
BetCrown Casino limits cookie duration to what is reasonably required for the stated purpose. Retention periods may differ depending on whether a cookie supports security, records a preference, performs statistical analysis or enables an authorised feature. Current information about individual technologies, their providers, purposes and expiry periods should be displayed in the cookie preference centre where those technologies are active.
First-Party and Third-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are placed by BetCrown Casino or on its behalf through the BetCrown Casino domain. Third-party cookies are controlled by another organisation whose technology is integrated into the website.
Third parties may provide services such as website analytics, security, payment functionality, embedded media, customer support tools or advertising measurement. Where a third party determines its own purposes and methods of processing, its privacy and cookie terms also apply. BetCrown Casino assesses third-party technologies before deployment and applies consent controls where required.
Following a link to an external website may result in that website placing its own cookies. BetCrown Casino does not control cookies placed independently on external websites.
Cookie Consent and User Choice
When required, the cookie interface allows visitors to accept, reject or select categories of non-essential technologies. Consent must be freely given, specific, informed and expressed through a clear affirmative action.
The following principles apply:
- Non-exempt cookies are blocked until the required consent is received.
- Optional categories are not selected in advance.
- Rejecting optional cookies is presented as a genuine choice.
- Consent may be withdrawn as easily as it is given.
- Consent records are retained where necessary to demonstrate compliance.
- A new choice may be requested if purposes, providers or technologies materially change.
Cookie consent is separate from consent to receive marketing communications. Accepting an advertising cookie does not automatically subscribe a visitor to email, SMS or other direct marketing.
How to Change Cookie Preferences
You may review or change your choices through the cookie settings available on the BetCrown Casino website. Withdrawing consent affects future use of the relevant technologies but does not make processing carried out before withdrawal unlawful.
You may also use browser settings to block, restrict or delete cookies. The procedure differs between browsers and devices. Blocking all cookies can interfere with login, security, saved preferences and other essential functions.
To manage cookies effectively:
- open the privacy or security settings in your browser;
- review stored website data and permissions;
- block or delete cookies for selected domains;
- disable cross-site tracking where the browser provides that option;
- repeat the process on each browser and device you use.
Personal Data Collected Through Cookies
Depending on the technology and the visitor’s choices, cookie-related information may include an online identifier, IP address, approximate location, device characteristics, browser details, referring page, pages viewed, interaction data, session information and recorded preferences.
This information may constitute personal data when it identifies a person directly or can reasonably be linked to an account, device or other identifier. Any subsequent processing is carried out under an appropriate lawful basis and in accordance with the principles of fairness, transparency, purpose limitation, data minimisation, accuracy, storage limitation, security and accountability.
BetCrown Casino does not use cookie-derived information to make unfair assumptions about vulnerability or to target individuals who have self-excluded or shown indicators of gambling-related harm.
Data Sharing and International Transfers
Cookie-related information may be disclosed to authorised technology providers where this is necessary to operate, secure, measure or support the website. Providers are given access only to the information required for their agreed function and must apply appropriate confidentiality and security measures.
If cookie data is transferred outside the United Kingdom, BetCrown Casino uses a lawful transfer mechanism and appropriate safeguards as required by UK data protection law. These may include UK adequacy regulations, the International Data Transfer Agreement, the UK Addendum to approved contractual clauses or another legally recognised safeguard.
Data Security and Retention
Reasonable technical and organisational measures are used to protect cookie-related information against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, accidental loss and unlawful processing. These measures may include access controls, encryption in transit, system monitoring, supplier assessments and retention controls.
Information is kept only for as long as necessary for the relevant purpose or to meet a legal obligation. Expired cookies are not intentionally renewed without a valid purpose and, where required, a valid consent choice.
Visitors Under 18
BetCrown Casino services are intended only for persons aged 18 or over. The website does not knowingly use advertising or profiling cookies to target children. If information associated with a person under 18 is identified, appropriate steps may be taken to restrict access and remove the information where legally required.
Your Data Protection Rights
Where cookie-related information constitutes personal data, you may have the right to request access, correction, erasure or restriction, object to certain processing, receive portable data and withdraw consent. These rights are subject to legal conditions and exemptions.
You may also lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office if you believe that your personal data or cookie choices have not been handled lawfully. You should first give BetCrown Casino an opportunity to investigate and resolve the matter.
Changes to This Cookie Policy
BetCrown Casino may revise this policy when technologies, processing activities, legal requirements or website functions change. Material changes affecting optional cookies may require the website to request a new choice before the relevant technologies are activated.
The version displayed on the website applies whenever you visit. Visitors are encouraged to review it periodically together with their saved cookie preferences.
