This cookie policy explains what cookies are, how this website uses them, and what options you have to control them. This site is an independent editorial resource about the sweepstakes casino industry. We do not operate a casino, process transactions, or maintain user accounts, which means our use of cookies is limited compared to transactional websites.
What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit them. They are widely used to make websites function efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide anonymous usage information to site operators. Cookies are stored in your browser and can be read by the website that created them on subsequent visits.
Similar technologies include web beacons (small transparent images embedded in pages or emails), local storage (data stored in your browser outside of cookies), and pixels (code snippets that track page interactions). This policy covers all such technologies collectively referred to as “cookies.”
How This Site Uses Cookies
This website uses a limited number of cookies that fall into the following categories.
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the basic functionality of the website. They enable core features such as page navigation and access to content. The site cannot function properly without them. Strictly necessary cookies do not collect personal information and are not used for marketing or analytics purposes. These cookies are typically set in response to your actions, such as loading a page or adjusting a display setting, and expire when you close your browser.
Analytics Cookies
This website may use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our content in aggregate. Analytics cookies help us identify which pages are visited most frequently, how visitors navigate between sections, and what content is most useful to readers. This information is used to improve the quality and relevance of our editorial coverage.
Analytics data is collected and processed in a form that does not personally identify individual visitors. If this site uses Google Analytics, cookies associated with that service (such as _ga and _gid) collect anonymous data about your visit. You can learn more about how Google uses this data at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Preference Cookies
Preference cookies remember choices you make about how the website is displayed, such as a dark mode or light mode selection if available, or your preferred text size. These cookies improve your experience by retaining your settings between visits so you do not need to reconfigure them each time. Preference cookies do not track your browsing activity on other websites.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on this site may be set by third-party services rather than by this website directly. These include cookies from analytics providers as described above, and potentially from embedded content such as fonts loaded from external servers. Third-party cookies are governed by the privacy and cookie policies of the respective third-party provider.
This website does not use advertising cookies, retargeting cookies, or social media tracking cookies. We do not display advertisements and do not participate in advertising networks. No cookies on this site are used to build a profile of your interests or to serve targeted ads on this or any other website.
Managing Cookies
You have control over which cookies are stored on your device. Most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings. Common options include blocking all cookies, blocking only third-party cookies, deleting cookies when you close your browser, and receiving a notification before a cookie is set.
Instructions for managing cookies in major browsers are available at the following links: Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, and Microsoft Edge.
Blocking or deleting cookies will not prevent you from accessing the editorial content on this site. However, certain preferences, such as display settings, may not be retained between visits if the corresponding preference cookies are blocked.
Cookie Duration
Cookies set by this website fall into two duration categories. Session cookies are temporary and are deleted automatically when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them manually. Analytics cookies typically persist for up to 24 months unless removed sooner through your browser settings.
Your Consent
Where required by applicable law, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for visitors from the European Economic Area and the UK, this site will obtain your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device. Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent as they are essential for the site to function.
If a cookie consent mechanism is presented on this site, you can withdraw your consent at any time by adjusting your cookie preferences through that mechanism or through your browser settings.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this cookie policy periodically to reflect changes in the cookies we use or in applicable regulations. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page indicates the most recent revision.
