Cookies are tiny text files dropped on your device (phone, tablet, computer) when you visit our site. They help us recognise you next time, remember what you like—say, your go-to Slots or Virtual Sports—and even show you ads that fit your vibe. All this makes your browsing experience smoother, whether you’re checking out the latest Lottery draws or hunting for new Poker tables.
How Cookies Hang Out on Your Device
Session Cookies
These stick around only while you’re on CasinoRank. Close your browser (or tab), and poof—they’re gone. We use them to keep you logged in during a session or to save that slot you just added to your favourites.
Persistent Cookies
These chill on your device until they expire or you delete them. They’re the ones that remember your language choice—English or Kiswahili—or whether you prefer seeing information about Slots vs. Lottery each time you return.
What Cookies Actually Do
Essential Cookies
No cookies here, no party. Essential cookies power core features—logging you in, keeping track of your saved casinos, and making sure the site doesn’t glitch out mid-spin.
Functional Cookies
These remember what you like: language settings, font size, or even your preferred provider lists. Handy if you jump between English and Swahili, for example.
Performance/Analytics Cookies
We use these to see which pages get the most love—maybe our virtual Poker guide or the latest table games rundown—and to figure out how long you hang around. That info helps us fine-tune CasinoRank, whether you’re on desktop or browsing via M-Pesa-loaded mobile.
Advertisement Cookies
Ever notice ads for Slots or Virtual Sports pop up after you’ve been checking them out? That’s ad cookies at work. Third-party advertisers drop these to serve personalised ads based on what you’ve been looking at online.
Who’s Dropping Cookies?
First-Party Cookies
These come straight from CasinoRank. We use them to save your site preferences or run A/B tests so we can show you the best layout for discovering new casinos.
Third-Party Cookies
Created by domains other than CasinoRank. We partner with services like New Relic (keeps everything running smoothly) and Google Analytics (our go-to for performance analytics) to help us see the big picture of how you use the site.
