Cookie Policy — Westio Casino
Last updated: 1 January 2026
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, what types of cookies Westio Casino places on your device, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences. For broader information about how we handle your personal data, please read our Privacy Policy.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your browser or device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device on subsequent visits, remember your preferences, and collect information about how you interact with the site. Cookies are not programs and cannot carry viruses or malware.
Similar technologies — such as local storage, session storage, and pixels — work in a comparable way and are covered by this policy.
Cookie Categories
Essential cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function. Without them, services such as logging in, the cashier, and responsible gambling tools cannot operate. Because they are essential, they cannot be disabled.
Examples: session authentication token, CSRF protection token, user preference for active language/currency, load-balancing cookie.
Functional cookies
Functional cookies remember your choices and personalise your experience. They are not strictly necessary but improve usability. Disabling them may affect features such as saved game filters or remembered account settings.
Examples: last-viewed game category, preferred cashier tab, notification dismissed flag.
Analytics cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use our site — which pages are visited most, how long sessions last, and where users encounter errors. The data is aggregated and anonymised. We use this information to improve the platform.
Examples: Google Analytics (_ga, _gid), internal session-replay tools (anonymised).
Marketing and advertising cookies
Marketing cookies track your visits across websites to enable us (or our affiliate and advertising partners) to show you relevant advertisements. These cookies are only set with your consent. If you decline, you will still see advertising, but it will not be tailored to your interests.
Examples: affiliate tracking pixel, retargeting cookie used to measure the effectiveness of our promotions.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are set by third-party services that appear on our pages. We do not control these third-party cookies. The third parties involved include:
- Google Analytics: Website traffic analytics. Governed by Google's Privacy Policy.
- Game software providers: Embedded game iframes may set cookies required for game functionality and fairness auditing.
- Payment processors: The payment window may set functional cookies necessary to complete your transaction securely.
- Live chat provider: Our live chat tool may set a session cookie to maintain your chat session.
We recommend reading the privacy and cookie policies of these third parties if you have concerns about the cookies they set.
Managing Your Preferences
Browser controls
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block all cookies, block only third-party cookies, or delete cookies after each session. The steps vary by browser:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data
Impact of disabling cookies
Disabling essential cookies will prevent the site from functioning — you will not be able to log in, use the cashier, or access responsible gambling tools. Disabling functional cookies may cause your preferences not to be remembered between sessions. Disabling analytics cookies will not affect your experience but reduces our ability to improve the platform. Disabling marketing cookies means you will see less targeted advertising; other advertising may still appear.
Opting out of analytics
You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons. Please re-visit this page regularly to stay informed. The effective date at the top of the page indicates when it was last revised.
