Comparison pages about payout speed at casinos outside GamStop are what casinopayouttracker.com publishes, and only a few technical tools are needed to put those pages in front of readers in Great Britain. Which cookies and similar technologies run here, what each is for and how a refusal or a change of mind is handled is the subject of this policy. Cookies are small text files that a browser stores on a device; entries in the browser's local and session storage and counting pixels work in much the same way.
Legal basis
The rule that applies is regulation 6 of the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 (PECR): storing information on a user's device, or gaining access to information already stored there, requires clear and comprehensive information and the user's consent, except where the storage is strictly necessary to provide a service the user has requested. The consent has to meet the standard of the UK GDPR (Article 4(11) and Article 7): freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous, and as easy to withdraw as to give. Where cookies are used to process personal data, the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 apply as well.
Strictly necessary files
Without these the site would not work reliably. A session is kept open, load is spread across servers, forms are protected against abuse, and the cookie choice itself is remembered. They are set without a separate choice. Session files expire when the browser is closed, and the stored choice is kept for no more than twelve months.
Functional and analytics files
Functional files remember settings such as the comparison tables opened last. Page views are counted and the pages that are read are shown by analytics files, so that the content can be improved. Only after consent has been given in the cookie banner are both groups set. IP addresses are shortened for analysis, and profiles that follow behaviour across different sites are not built.
Third-party files
Videos, maps and other embedded outside services may set files of their own. The privacy rules of the provider then apply too, and an objection to them is raised with that provider. Advertising cookies that build profiles for personalised ads are not set by casinopayouttracker.com without a clear choice in the consent banner.
Refusing and changing consent
Through the "Cookie settings" link in the footer, consent can be changed or withdrawn at any time; withdrawal works for the future and does not affect the lawfulness of earlier processing. Blocking and deleting cookies is also possible in the privacy settings of every browser, and the manufacturer's help pages describe the steps for Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge. After the necessary files are deleted the banner appears again, and some features may stop working for a short time.
Supervision
A complaint about the handling of personal data can be made to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK's supervisory authority. Details of how personal data is processed are in the privacy policy of this site.
