Our Cookie Policy, Explained Plainly
This page tells you exactly which cookies we set on bloody-slots.uk, why each one exists, how long it stays on your device, and how you switch any of them off. We keep it free of jargon because you should not need a law degree to understand what happens in your browser.
What Cookies Actually Are
A cookie is a small text file that our website places on your device when you visit. It carries a short string of data back to us on your next visit, so the site remembers something useful: that you are logged in, that you picked English, or that you closed the bonus banner.
We cannot read your hard drive, your documents or your browsing history from other sites. A cookie only reports data connected to our own domain, plus a small set of third-party cookies we list further down this page. Similar technologies such as local storage and pixels follow the same rules we describe here.
The Four Cookie Types We Set
We split every cookie on bloody-slots.uk into four categories: strictly necessary, functional, analytics and marketing. Nothing outside these four groups runs on our pages. Here is one paragraph per category, then a table with real cookie names.
Every Cookie, Listed
Strictly necessary
These keep the site working. Without them you cannot log in, your session drops mid-spin, and our payment pages refuse to open. We do not ask your consent for these because the site cannot function without them.
Third Parties We Permit
Some cookies on our pages belong to providers we work with, not to us. We allow three categories of third-party cookies: analytics providers who measure aggregated traffic so we know which pages fail, ad networks who show our campaigns to people who have visited us before, and payment providers whose cookies keep your deposit and withdrawal flows secure during checkout.
Each provider signs a data processing agreement with us before any cookie loads. No third party on our site sells your data onward, and none receives your identity, balance or transaction history. They see device and behavioural signals only, in aggregated or pseudonymised form.
How You Control Your Choices
On our site
When you first land on bloody-slots.uk, our banner asks you to accept or reject non-essential cookies, with a link to granular toggles for each of the four categories. You can reopen that settings panel any time via the Cookie Settings link in the footer. Your choices take effect immediately.
- Chrome: Settings, Privacy and security, Third-party cookies, then Block all or add our domain as an exception.
- Safari: Settings, Privacy, then either Prevent Cross-Site Tracking or Block All Cookies.
- Firefox: Settings, Privacy and Security, then Standard, Strict or Custom cookie rules.
- Edge: Settings, Cookies and site permissions, then Block or Allow third-party cookies.
What happens if you block
Refuse the non-essential categories and the site still works: you can log in, deposit and play. You lose the extras. Game lobbies load in English every visit, favourite games do not persist, and you see generic banners instead of offers matched to your play. Block the strictly necessary category as well and login, deposits and live game sessions stop functioning, so we advise against that one.
How Long Each Cookie Lasts
We set the shortest lifetime that each purpose needs. Session cookies vanish the moment you close your browser. Persistent cookies carry an expiry date from 30 to 365 days, and we delete analytics data tied to your device after 12 months at the latest.
Below is the retention schedule per category. The exact expiry sits inside each cookie itself, so your browser's developer tools always show you the authoritative value.
| Cookie category | Example cookies | Purpose | Duration | Opt-out |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | bsid, bs_auth, bs_sec, csrf_t | Login, session, security, payment integrity | Session to 30 days | No, site breaks without them |
| Functional | bs_lang, bs_cur, bs_theme, bs_favs | Language, currency, layout, saved favourites | 365 days | Yes, banner toggles |
| Analytics | bs_anon, bs_ua, bs_pview | Aggregated traffic and performance data | 90 days | Yes, banner toggles |
| Marketing | bs_ad, bs_rt, bs_src | Retargeting and campaign attribution | 30 to 180 days | Yes, banner toggles |
When We Change This Policy
If a new cookie type appears or a provider changes, we update this page and bump the version note at the top of it. We email registered players whenever a change adds a new marketing or analytics cookie, and we re-show the consent banner so you confirm your preferences again rather than inheriting them silently.
Questions about anything here go to [email protected] or our live chat, staffed 24/7. We answer cookie-related queries within 24 hours.
Frequently asked questions
Do cookies let you see my personal documents or KYC files?
No. Cookies only carry session and preference data on our own domain. Your KYC documents sit in an encrypted verification system that no cookie touches.
Can I play at Bloodyslots Casino with all cookies rejected?
Yes, provided you keep the strictly necessary category on. Refusing the other three categories removes personalisation, analytics and retargeting but never blocks play, deposits or withdrawals.
Do you sell the data your cookies collect?
No. We use analytics data ourselves and share only aggregated or pseudonymised signals with contracted providers. We sell nothing to anyone.
Will rejecting cookies cost me my welcome bonus?
No. The 200% bonus up to £2,000 plus 450 free spins with code BLOODY200 depends on your deposit, not on your cookie choices.
How do I delete cookies you already set?
Your browser's clear browsing data menu removes them in a few clicks, and our Cookie Settings panel in the footer withdraws consent for all non-essential cookies at once.
