Cookie Policy

• We use cookies and similar technologies for core site functions, security, preferences, analytics, and affiliate referral attribution where applicable.
• Some technologies are strictly necessary for the site to work properly, while others may be optional depending on your location, the law that applies, and the purpose of the technology.
• Affiliate tracking may use cookies, click IDs, pixels, or similar tools to attribute a referral after you visit a partner site from Casino Raccoons.
• You can usually manage optional technologies through consent controls where available, browser settings, and certain device-level privacy settings.
• Blocking or deleting cookies can affect site functionality, saved preferences, analytics quality, and referral attribution.

We use cookies and similar technologies to run Casino Raccoons, remember settings, understand performance, keep the site secure, and support affiliate referral tracking where relevant. You can change or limit many of those technologies through consent and browser controls.

Cookie Policy

Casino Raccoons is an iGaming affiliate and educational website. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies are, why we may use them, what categories we use, and how you can manage your choices.

This page should be read together with our privacy policy, which explains how personal data may be processed more broadly. Where cookies relate to referral links and attribution, our affiliate disclosure explains the commercial context behind that model.

Cookies are small text files stored on your browser or device. Similar technologies can include pixels, local storage, SDKs, scripts, tags, link-decoration identifiers, and other tools that store information on a device or access information already stored there.

We use the phrase "cookies and similar technologies" because not every relevant technology works in exactly the same way as a traditional browser cookie, even if the privacy effect can be similar.

On an informational website like Casino Raccoons, cookies and similar technologies can help with routine functions such as security, performance, and remembering preferences. On an affiliate site, they can also matter for referral attribution.

For example, if you click an outbound partner link, a third party may use a cookie or another identifier to understand that you arrived from Casino Raccoons. If you later complete a qualifying action, that referral may be attributed back to our site. That does not mean we receive your full banking details or casino credentials, but it does mean tracking technologies may play a role in how referrals are measured.

Below is a practical overview of the categories we may use. Exact technologies can change over time as features, vendors, and site configuration change.

Category | Typical purpose | Typical provider type | Typical duration
1) Strictly necessary | site security, load balancing, fraud prevention, consent storage, core functionality | often first-party, sometimes service-provider based | session to 12 months
2) Functional | remembering preferences such as interface or region choices | usually first-party, sometimes service-provider based | session to 12 months
3) Analytics | understanding traffic, engagement, performance, and content usefulness | often third-party or hosted analytics tools | session to 24 months
4) Affiliate attribution | measuring outbound referrals and qualifying actions | usually third-party partner or network | minutes to 30 days, sometimes longer depending on the setup
5) Advertising or measurement | measuring campaigns, reducing fraud, or supporting ad-related reporting where used | often third-party | days to 24 months

Strictly necessary technologies help the website function, stay secure, and remember essential settings such as consent choices.

They may be used for:

• network and infrastructure reliability
• site security and abuse prevention
• session management
• consent and preference storage
• other core functions that are necessary to deliver the service requested

Where a technology is genuinely necessary for the service to work, it may not depend on opt-in consent in the same way as optional technologies. Even so, we still think it is important to explain that these technologies exist and what they do.

Functional technologies remember choices that improve the experience but may not be strictly essential in every context. Examples can include language, region, display, or preference settings.

Depending on how these features are implemented and which law applies to the visitor, some functional technologies may be treated differently from strictly necessary technologies.

Analytics technologies help us understand how visitors use Casino Raccoons so we can improve content, navigation, speed, and general site quality.

That can include information such as:

• which pages are visited
• how readers move through the site
• how long sessions last
• which devices or browsers are used
• where performance problems or content drop-offs occur

Where required by law, analytics technologies should only be used after appropriate consent. In other contexts, their treatment may depend on the tool, the configuration, and the law that applies.

If you click an affiliate link from Casino Raccoons to a partner site, that partner or its affiliate network may use cookies, click IDs, link-decoration parameters, or similar technologies to attribute a referral.

At a high level, the process may work like this:
1) You click an eligible outbound link on Casino Raccoons.
2) A partner system records technical information about that referral.
3) If you later complete a qualifying action defined by the partner program, the referral may be attributed back to Casino Raccoons.
4) We may receive referral confirmation or conversion information associated with technical identifiers rather than a direct copy of your personal banking information.

Affiliate attribution is one reason this page matters on an iGaming affiliate site.

Where used, advertising or campaign-measurement technologies can help us understand whether marketing activity is working, limit invalid traffic, or measure performance across channels.

These technologies are typically optional where consent is required. Their exact use can change depending on whether Casino Raccoons is running campaigns, which providers are in place, and what configuration is active at the time.

Not every relevant technology is a classic cookie. Depending on the service or feature, we or our providers may use tools such as:

• local storage or session storage
• pixels or tags
• scripts
• SDKs in app-like contexts, if any are used
• link decoration and navigational identifiers
• anti-fraud or security technologies

This matters because privacy rules can apply not only to cookies, but also to other tools that store information on a device or access information already stored there.

Where the law requires consent for optional cookies or similar technologies, we aim to request that consent through a cookie banner, preference center, or similar control before those optional technologies are used.

Depending on the configuration available on the site, you may be able to:

• accept optional technologies
• reject optional technologies
• choose categories individually
• revisit your choice later

Consent rules are not identical everywhere, so the exact experience may depend on your jurisdiction, the technologies involved, and the way the site is configured at the time.

1. Consent controls on the site

If Casino Raccoons provides a banner, preferences link, or consent center, that is usually the easiest place to manage optional technologies.

2. Browser settings

Most browsers allow you to:

• delete existing cookies
• block all cookies
• block third-party cookies
• clear site data
• create rules for specific websites

3. Device and platform settings

On mobile devices or certain browsers, you may also have tracking or privacy controls at device level.

4. Private browsing and browser extensions

Some users choose private browsing modes or content-blocking extensions to limit tracking. These tools can reduce some forms of measurement, but they can also break features or make certain preferences harder to save.

Blocking or deleting cookies and similar technologies can have practical consequences. Depending on what you block, it may:

• stop the site from remembering your preferences
• make consent settings harder to preserve
• reduce site functionality
• limit analytics accuracy
• prevent some affiliate referrals from being attributed correctly
• affect embedded or third-party content

Those trade-offs do not mean you should not use privacy controls. They simply mean that some site features may work differently when technologies are restricted.

Some technologies may be provided or set by third parties, for example when:

• analytics tools run
• security or hosting services are used
• embedded content loads
• an affiliate link is clicked and a partner records attribution

Once you interact with a third-party service or leave our site, that third party's own policies and controls become important. We do not control every technology used by third parties outside the scope of Casino Raccoons.

Different cookies and similar technologies can last for different periods. Some expire when you close your browser. Others can remain for days, weeks, or months unless you delete them sooner.

Typical duration depends on the technology category, its purpose, the provider involved, and the configuration in place. For broader personal-data retention context, see our privacy policy.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in site features, providers, legal expectations, or the way Casino Raccoons operates. When we make a meaningful update, we will change the page's "Last updated" date.
