The Phone Casino Cookies Policy
This Cookies Policy explains how The Phone Casino uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit or use our online casino website. It describes the purpose of these technologies, the categories they may fall into, and the choices available to you.
Cookies help The Phone Casino provide a secure, reliable and convenient experience for visitors and players aged 18 or over. This policy should be read together with any other privacy or website information made available by The Phone Casino.
What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet or other internet-connected device when you visit a website. They allow a website to recognise a device, remember certain information and support specific functions during a visit or on a later occasion.
Some cookies are stored only for the duration of your browsing session. These are normally removed when you close your browser. Other cookies remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them. The length of time a cookie remains active depends on its purpose and configuration.
The Phone Casino may also use similar technologies, such as pixels, tags, software development kits or local storage. These technologies can help us understand how visitors interact with the website, maintain functionality and assess the effectiveness of communications. For convenience, this policy refers to cookies and similar technologies collectively as cookies.
Types of Cookies
Cookies can be classified in several ways. The categories below describe how cookies may be used on The Phone Casino website:
- Essential cookies support core website functions, security controls and account-related processes.
- Performance cookies collect information about how visitors use the website so that its operation can be reviewed and improved.
- Functional cookies remember preferences and settings to make future visits more convenient.
- Marketing cookies may help measure advertising activity or deliver content that is more relevant to a visitor.
A cookie can also be described as a first-party or third-party cookie. A first-party cookie is set by The Phone Casino or by a service operating on our behalf. A third-party cookie is set by an external provider whose technology is used on the website. The availability and operation of particular cookies may change as website features, suppliers or services develop.
Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are necessary for important parts of the website to operate. Without them, certain features may not function correctly or the website may not be able to provide services that you have requested.
Depending on how you use The Phone Casino, essential cookies may be used to:
- Maintain a secure connection while you browse.
- Support account access and session management.
- Remember information during a registration, login or transaction process.
- Help prevent unauthorised activity, misuse and automated attacks.
- Route website requests efficiently and maintain service availability.
- Record and apply your cookie preferences.
These cookies are generally required for the requested website service and may not be removable through the website preference tool. You can usually block them through your browser, but doing so may prevent pages, account features or security measures from working as intended.
Performance Cookies
Performance cookies provide information about the way visitors use The Phone Casino website. They may record details such as the pages viewed, the time spent on a page, the links selected, the device or browser used, and whether an error was encountered.
The information collected through these cookies is used to identify technical problems, monitor website stability and understand which areas are useful to visitors. It can also help The Phone Casino test improvements, improve navigation and make the website easier to use.
Performance information may be collected in an aggregated or otherwise limited form. Where an analytics provider processes information for The Phone Casino, that provider is expected to handle the information according to the applicable instructions and agreed safeguards. Analytics cookies may be optional, depending on the consent choices presented to you.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow The Phone Casino to remember choices you make while using the website. They are intended to reduce the need to repeat preferences and can help provide a more personalised browsing experience without changing the core operation of the service.
Examples may include remembering:
- Your selected language or display preferences.
- Settings connected with website layout or accessibility.
- Information used to keep a session consistent while you move between pages.
- Choices made in a cookie preference panel.
If you decline functional cookies, the website may still be available, but some preferences may need to be selected again during a later visit. Removing these cookies may also reset saved settings. Functional cookies do not necessarily perform the same role as essential cookies, and their use may depend on the choices available in the consent tool.
Marketing Cookies
Marketing cookies may be used to understand how visitors respond to promotional content and to help The Phone Casino assess the performance of marketing campaigns. They may also support the delivery of advertising or promotional messages that are more relevant to a visitor's interests.
These cookies can help measure actions such as visits originating from a particular campaign, interaction with an advertisement or movement between a promotional page and the website. Information may be combined with data from external marketing services, subject to the settings and permissions that apply.
Marketing cookies are not required for ordinary browsing and should only be used where the relevant choice or permission allows them. If you reject or withdraw consent for these cookies, you may still see promotional content, but it may be less tailored and the effectiveness of campaigns may be harder to measure.
The Phone Casino does not treat acceptance of marketing cookies as a condition for browsing the website. Cookie choices should not be confused with age or account verification processes. Separate checks may apply when a person seeks to use age-restricted services.
Managing Cookies
When you first visit The Phone Casino website, you may be presented with a cookie notice or preference tool. This may allow you to accept optional cookies, reject them or select categories individually. Essential cookies may continue to operate because they support requested website functions and security.
You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- View cookies stored on your device.
- Delete existing cookies.
- Block cookies from particular websites.
- Block third-party cookies.
- Receive a notification before cookies are stored.
The exact controls vary between browsers and devices. Browser settings may need to be updated separately on each device that you use. Deleting or blocking cookies can affect saved preferences, website performance, account functionality and the availability of certain features.
Where a consent tool is available, changing your selection there is generally the most direct way to manage optional cookies used by The Phone Casino. A later visit may be required before a revised setting takes effect. You can contact The Phone Casino at [email protected] if you have a question about cookies or need help understanding the available choices.
Third-Party Cookies
Some website functions may rely on services provided by third parties. These providers may place or access their own cookies when their tools are loaded or used. Examples can include website analytics, security services, payment-related functionality, customer support tools and campaign measurement services.
Third-party cookies are controlled by the relevant provider and may be subject to that provider's own privacy information. The Phone Casino does not determine every technical feature of an external cookie. We review the services used on the website and seek to use them for defined business and operational purposes, but the providers may update their technology, cookie names or retention periods.
Third-party cookies may collect information such as device details, browser information, approximate location, pages visited or interactions with a service. The extent of collection depends on the provider, the service configuration and your choices. Where optional consent is required, these cookies should not be activated unless the applicable permission has been provided.
External websites linked from The Phone Casino may also use their own cookies. This policy does not govern websites that we do not operate. You should review the cookie and privacy information of any external website before using it or providing information to it.
Policy Updates
The Phone Casino may update this Cookies Policy when website functionality, technology, service providers or operational practices change. An updated version will be made available on this website, together with a revised date or other indication where appropriate.
Changes may affect the categories of cookies used, the purposes for which they operate or the controls available to visitors. We encourage you to review this page from time to time so that you remain informed about how cookies are used.
If a change requires a renewed choice or permission, The Phone Casino will provide an appropriate notice or consent prompt. Continued use of the website after an update does not automatically mean that optional cookies have been accepted where a separate choice is required.
