What this policy covers
This Jackthepot cookie policy explains how our website uses cookies and similar small files when you visit from the UK. We want you to understand what is stored on your device and why it is stored there. The policy applies to every page of the site, including the pages you reach from our menu and footer.
A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your phone, tablet or computer. It lets the site remember choices and recognise a returning visit. Some cookies are needed for a page to work at all, while others only run if you agree to them.
You must be 18+ to use this site. If you have questions about how we handle your data more widely, read our privacy policy, which sits alongside this document. Where we mention the Jackthepot home page below, it simply means the starting point of the site.
The short version
We use cookies to keep the site working, to remember your settings and to understand how pages are used. You can accept or refuse the optional ones and change your mind at any time. Refusing optional cookies never stops you from reading our pages.
Types of cookies we use
| Type | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Keep pages loading correctly, remember your cookie choice and support basic security. These cannot be switched off. |
| Preference | Remember settings such as your chosen layout or language so you do not have to set them again on each visit. |
| Analytics | Show us, in aggregate, which pages are read and where visitors leave, so that we can improve the site. |
| Marketing | Help measure whether a link to an offer was followed. These only run after you give consent. |
Why we use them
Strictly necessary cookies exist because a website cannot function without them. They let a page remember that you have already seen the cookie notice, so it does not appear on every click. They also help protect the site from misuse.
Preference cookies make the site more comfortable to use, particularly on a phone where small settings matter. Analytics cookies give us a general picture of how visitors move through the site. We read these figures as totals and patterns, never as a profile of one person.
Marketing cookies are optional. They only matter when you follow a link that sends you from our pages towards an offer. If you decline them, the link still works and the page still loads in the usual way.
How to manage your choices
Use the cookie notice
When you first arrive, the notice lets you accept or refuse optional cookies. Strictly necessary cookies stay on because the site needs them to run.
Change your browser settings
Most browsers let you block or delete cookies from their privacy menu. You can clear everything stored so far or block new cookies from particular sites.
Delete cookies already stored
If you have accepted cookies and later regret it, clear them from your browser history settings. The next visit will then show the notice again so that you can choose afresh.
How long cookies stay on your device
Some cookies last only until you close your browser. These are called session cookies, and they vanish once your visit ends. Others are persistent and remain for a set period so that the site can recognise you next time.
We keep persistent cookies for no longer than is needed for their purpose. Your cookie choice is stored so that you are not asked repeatedly. You can remove any of these files yourself whenever you like through your browser.
Cookies are never used on this site to read private files on your device. They hold small pieces of text and identifiers, nothing more. If our use of cookies changes in a meaningful way, we will update this page and show the notice again.
Third parties and your rights
Some cookies may be set by services that help us run the site, such as tools that measure page visits. These services have their own rules for the data they handle. We ask you to read their notices if you want the full detail.
As a UK visitor you have rights over your personal data, including the right to ask what we hold and to object to certain uses. Our privacy policy sets out how to exercise those rights. For anything about cookies specifically, this page is the place to start.
If you ever feel that gambling is affecting your life, our responsible gambling page lists tools and support. Play only if you are 18+ and only with money you can afford to lose.
Cookie questions
Do I have to accept cookies to use the site?
No. Strictly necessary cookies run automatically because the site needs them, but you can refuse every optional cookie and still read our pages.
How do I withdraw my consent later?
Clear the cookies stored by this site in your browser settings. The cookie notice will appear again on your next visit so you can choose differently.
Do cookies identify me personally?
Analytics cookies are read as totals and patterns across many visitors. We do not use them to build a personal profile of one reader.
Will blocking cookies break the site?
Blocking optional cookies will not. Blocking all cookies, including necessary ones, may stop some features such as remembering your choice from working properly.
