Our Cookie Policy
We set cookies on rakebitcasino.co.uk to keep your session secure, remember your preferences and understand how our site is used. This policy explains what we place on your device, why, and how you stay in control.
What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files that our website stores on your device when you visit. They hold bits of information, such as whether you are logged in, which language you prefer, or which pages you viewed during your last session.
Your browser sends these files back to us on each subsequent visit, so we can recognise returning players. Similar technologies, such as local storage and pixels, follow the same rules described in this policy. We do not use cookies to access any other files on your device, and they cannot install software.
Cookies We Use
Strictly necessary
These cookies let the site function. Without them you cannot log in, keep a session open, or complete a deposit. We place them as soon as you arrive and they cannot be switched off in your browser settings.
Example names include rakebit_session (keeps you logged in), rakebit_auth (verifies your identity after login) and rakebit_csrf (protects forms against cross-site request forgery).
Functional
Functional cookies remember choices you make, such as your selected language, currency display (GBP, for example) and sound settings on our games. They also store your cookie consent choice so we do not ask again on every page. These improve comfort but are not required for core play.
Analytics
We use analytics cookies to understand, in aggregated form, which pages players visit, where they drop off and how long sessions last. This data guides improvements to load times and game discovery. The reports contain no names and cannot identify you personally.
Marketing
With your consent, marketing cookies support retargeting, so our promotions, such as the Monday reload bonus or weekly cashback, reach players who may find them relevant. If you decline or withdraw consent, these cookies are not set and you will not see tailored ads from us.
Summary table
| Cookie type | Purpose | Duration | Opt-out |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Session, login, security | Session to 30 days | No, required for the site to work |
| Functional | Language and preference memory | Up to 90 days | Yes, via cookie banner |
| Analytics | Aggregated usage statistics | Up to 90 days | Yes, via cookie banner |
| Marketing | Retargeting and campaign measurement | Up to 365 days | Yes, via cookie banner |
Third Party Cookies
Some cookies on our pages are set by trusted partners rather than by us directly. We permit three categories: analytics providers who measure site traffic in aggregate, advertising networks who deliver and measure campaigns with your consent, and payment providers who need a cookie to process deposits and withdrawals securely through methods such as Visa Debit, Trustly and Skrill.
Each partner processes data under its own privacy policy as well as ours. We review the list of permitted partners regularly and remove any that no longer meet our standards. We never allow third parties to use cookies on our site for purposes we have not documented here.
Manage Your Preferences
On our site
When you first visit, our cookie banner lets you accept all categories or reject everything except strictly necessary cookies. You can revisit this choice at any time through the cookie settings link in our site footer, and your withdrawal of consent takes effect immediately for future sessions.
In your browser
- Chrome: Settings, then Privacy and security, then Third-party cookies, and block or clear as you prefer.
- Safari: Preferences, then Privacy, and manage website data or block all cookies.
- Firefox: Settings, then Privacy and Security, and choose your cookie behaviour under Enhanced Tracking Protection.
- Edge: Settings, then Cookies and site permissions, and block or delete cookies per site.
Consequences of blocking
Blocking strictly necessary cookies means you cannot log in, play with a real balance, or make deposits and withdrawals. Blocking functional cookies resets your language and display preferences each visit. Declining analytics or marketing cookies has no effect on play; you simply see non-tailored content instead of relevant offers.
How Long We Keep Them
Retention depends on the category. Strictly necessary cookies last for the length of your session, with authentication cookies extending up to 30 days if you choose to stay logged in. Functional cookies persist up to 90 days so your preferences survive between visits.
Analytics cookies expire after 90 days at most, and marketing cookies after a maximum of 365 days. When a cookie expires, your browser deletes it automatically. You can also delete cookies at any time through your browser settings, and clearing them removes stored consent, so you will see our banner again on your next visit.
Changes to This Policy
We update this policy whenever we add, remove or change a cookie category, or when a partner changes how its cookies work. Every revision is published on this page with an updated effective date, and material changes, such as a new marketing use, are announced through a site notice before they take effect. Questions about cookies or your data can go to our support team at [email protected], available 24/7 by live chat and email.
Frequently asked questions
Can I play at Rakebit Casino without accepting any cookies?
Yes, with one exception. You must accept strictly necessary cookies to log in and play with real funds, but you can decline functional, analytics and marketing cookies through our banner without affecting gameplay.
Do cookies share my gambling history with advertisers?
No. Marketing cookies are used for retargeting our own offers, such as cashback and reload promotions, and analytics data is aggregated. We do not sell your personal data or your betting history to advertisers.
How do I withdraw consent after already accepting cookies?
Use the cookie settings link in the site footer to change or withdraw your consent. The change applies immediately, and existing marketing and analytics cookies are deleted from your browser.
Are cookies used to verify my identity for withdrawals?
Only strictly necessary cookies support the security of your session during KYC verification and payments. The verification itself is handled by our team, with documents reviewed within 24 to 48 hours.
