Cookie Policy: Self Gaming Guide 2026

Cookies are small text files that a website saves on your device when you visit. They hold simple information, such as a random identifier or a preference you chose. Your browser sends this information back to the site on later visits, so the site can recognise your device. Similar technologies, such as local storage and tracking pixels, work in much the same way. Cookies cannot run programs or read other files on your device. Some last only until you close your browser (session cookies). Others stay for days or months (persistent cookies). In this policy, 'cookies' covers all of these technologies.

We use cookies for three reasons. First, to keep the site running securely and remember basic choices, including your cookie settings. Second, to learn which pages are useful and which are not, so we can improve the guide. Third, to measure how readers reach operators we feature, which helps us understand how the site is funded. We do not use cookies to identify you by name. We do not collect your payment details or any gambling account information through this site. You choose which optional categories to allow.

Essential cookies keep the site working. Examples include a cookie that stores your consent choice and one that supports basic security and page loading. These cannot be switched off in our settings. Analytics cookies count visits, show which pages are read, and record general device and browser type. They help us fix problems and improve content. Affiliate cookies record that a visit came from our guide when you click through to an operator, so the referral can be credited. They only apply after you click an outbound link. Marketing cookies measure the effectiveness of promotions and may be set by third parties. Analytics, affiliate and marketing cookies are optional and used only with your consent.

Every major browser lets you view, block or delete cookies. Look for the Privacy or Security section in your browser settings. There you can block all cookies, block only third-party cookies, or clear existing ones. Many browsers also offer a private or incognito mode that deletes cookies when you close the window. You can set different rules for individual sites. Blocking essential cookies may stop parts of the site working correctly, and your consent preference may not be remembered between visits. Because settings differ by browser and device, check your browser's help pages for exact steps. Repeat the process on each device you use.

You can change your mind whenever you like. Use the cookie settings control on the site to review your choices and switch off any optional category. Your change applies from that point on. To remove cookies already stored, delete them through your browser settings as described above. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of anything done before you withdrew it. If you have questions about how we use cookies, contact us through the details in the site layout. We may update this policy as our practices or the law change, and we will revise the date and any affected details here. If you gamble, do so responsibly, and only if you are 18 or over.
