Betfred Casino Cookies Policy
This Cookies Policy explains how Betfred Casino uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit or use its online casino website. It describes the purposes for which these technologies may be used, the choices available to you, and how changing your browser settings can affect your experience.
Cookies help Betfred Casino operate its website, remember selected preferences, understand how visitors use its services, and present more relevant communications where permitted. This policy should be read alongside any other privacy or data protection information made available on the website. Betfred Casino is intended for customers aged 18 and over.
What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or another internet-enabled device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise a device and retain certain information about a browsing session. Some cookies remain only until you close your browser, while others stay on your device for a defined period or until you remove them.
Cookies do not normally identify you by name on their own. However, information collected through cookies may be combined with account, device, or usage information where this is necessary for the operation of Betfred Casino services or where you have provided appropriate permission.
Betfred Casino may also use similar technologies, including pixels, tags, local storage, and software development tools. These technologies can perform functions comparable to cookies, such as measuring visits, remembering settings, detecting technical issues, or assessing the effectiveness of communications.
Types of Cookies
Cookies can be grouped according to their purpose and the organisation that places them. The categories used by Betfred Casino are designed to make it easier for you to understand why a particular technology may be active on the website.
- First-party cookies are placed by Betfred Casino or by service providers acting on its instructions for the website.
- Third-party cookies are placed by external providers whose services may be used on particular pages or for specific functions.
- Session cookies are temporary and are generally removed when your browsing session ends.
- Persistent cookies remain for a set period, allowing a website to remember information when you return.
- Essential, performance, functional, and marketing cookies are described in more detail below.
The precise cookies in use may change as the website, its features, and its service providers develop. A cookie preference tool, where available, may provide further information about individual technologies and their purposes.
Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are required for core website functions and cannot normally be disabled through the website preference tool. Without these cookies, important services may not operate correctly or securely.
Betfred Casino may use essential cookies to support activities such as:
- Opening and maintaining a secure connection.
- Managing sign-in sessions and account navigation.
- Protecting forms and transactions against misuse.
- Maintaining responsible access controls and age-related safeguards.
- Directing requests to appropriate technical systems.
- Remembering choices that are necessary for the website to function.
- Detecting unusual activity, errors, or attempts to interfere with the service.
These cookies are not intended to create a profile of your interests for advertising purposes. If you block them through your browser, you may be unable to log in, play games, manage your account, complete transactions, or use other parts of the Betfred Casino website.
Performance Cookies
Performance cookies collect information about how visitors use the website. They may record pages visited, links selected, approximate session duration, error messages, and the way users move between different areas of the service. This information is generally analysed in aggregated or pseudonymised form.
Betfred Casino uses performance information to identify technical problems, monitor website stability, understand which features are useful, and improve the layout and performance of its online services. These cookies can help distinguish a widespread technical issue from a problem affecting an individual device or browser.
Performance cookies are not necessary for every basic website function. Depending on the preference tools available, you may be able to refuse them without preventing access to essential account features. Refusing these cookies may limit Betfred Casino's ability to assess performance and make informed improvements based on visitor behaviour.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow the website to remember choices and provide a more personalised experience. They may be used to retain settings such as language, display preferences, region, or other selections made during a visit.
These cookies can also support optional features that make the website easier to use. For example, they may help remember whether an information message has already been displayed or preserve a preference between visits. Functional cookies are different from essential cookies because the website may continue to operate without some of these conveniences.
If you decline functional cookies, certain preferences may need to be selected again each time you visit. Some features may also be unavailable or operate in a less tailored manner. Your choices will not remove any obligations or restrictions that apply to the use of Betfred Casino services.
Marketing Cookies
Marketing cookies may be used to understand browsing activity across websites or services and to measure the performance of promotional communications. Where permitted and subject to your choices, they can help Betfred Casino or its approved partners deliver advertising that is more relevant to your apparent interests.
Marketing technologies may be used to:
- Measure whether a campaign has been viewed or acted upon.
- Limit the number of times a particular advertisement is shown.
- Understand which promotions or website content generate engagement.
- Build reports about the reach and effectiveness of marketing activity.
Marketing cookies are optional where consent is required. Refusing them does not necessarily mean that you will see no advertising. It may instead result in less relevant advertising or prevent Betfred Casino from measuring certain promotional activities. Marketing communications may also be subject to separate preferences, terms, and eligibility conditions.
Betfred Casino does not use cookies to encourage participation that is unsuitable for an individual. Promotional activity remains subject to applicable account settings, responsible gambling measures, and the information provided when an offer is presented.
Managing Cookies
When you first visit the website, you may be shown a cookie preference tool that allows you to accept or reject non-essential categories. You can change your selections later if the relevant controls remain available on the website. Essential cookies cannot generally be rejected through this tool because they are needed to provide requested services.
You can also manage cookies through your browser. Most browsers allow you to view stored cookies, delete existing cookies, block all cookies, or receive a warning before a cookie is saved. The method differs between browsers and devices, so you should consult the relevant browser help settings for instructions.
Before deleting or blocking cookies, consider the effect this may have on your Betfred Casino experience. You may be signed out of your account, lose saved preferences, encounter repeated notices, or be unable to use certain functions. Blocking cookies on one browser or device does not automatically apply the same choice to other browsers or devices.
Some third-party providers may offer their own controls for managing cookies or targeted advertising. Using those controls does not necessarily remove essential technologies used by Betfred Casino. You should review the settings available through the website, your browser, and any relevant third-party service to make choices that reflect your preferences.
Third-Party Cookies
Some website features may be supported by external providers. These providers may place cookies or use similar technologies to deliver services such as security, analytics, payment support, customer assistance, embedded content, or campaign measurement.
Third-party providers may process information under their own terms and privacy notices. Their technologies may be subject to different retention periods and controls from those used directly by Betfred Casino. Betfred Casino takes reasonable steps to select service providers appropriate to the relevant function, but the operation of a third-party service may also depend on that provider's systems and policies.
You should review the privacy and cookie information supplied by any third party when its service is presented to you. Where consent is required, non-essential third-party cookies should not be activated before you make the relevant choice. Some external services may not function if you decline their cookies or disable them through your browser.
Policy Updates
Betfred Casino may update this Cookies Policy when its website, technologies, service providers, or operational practices change. An updated version will be made available on the relevant website page, together with a revised date or other indication where appropriate.
Changes may include the introduction of a new cookie category, a change in the purpose of an existing technology, or adjustments to the way preferences are managed. You should review this policy periodically so that you remain informed about how cookies are used.
If you have questions about this Cookies Policy or need help with your cookie choices, contact the Betfred Casino support team at [email protected]. When contacting support, avoid sending passwords, payment details, or other sensitive account information unless you are specifically instructed to use a secure channel.
