Cookie Policy
This page sets out the cookies and similar technologies used on Mega Casino, what each one does, how long it remains on your device and how you can control or delete them. The wider question of personal-data handling is dealt with separately on the Privacy Policy page; this page is its technical companion. The site itself is described on the About page, with the flagship operator review available on the Mega Casino homepage.
1. What a cookie is, briefly
In technical terms, a cookie is just a small text file that a website asks the browser running on your device to keep around between visits. On the next page-load from the same site, the browser hands the file back, which gives the site the means to recognise the returning visit, restore a setting you previously chose, or simply tally up traffic. A cookie cannot run executable code on your machine, cannot read unrelated files sitting on your device, and cannot identify you personally unless other identifying information has already been linked to it. Several other browser-storage mechanisms — localStorage, sessionStorage, IndexedDB — get casually lumped together with cookies today because they behave in much the same way; throughout this page, "cookie" in plain English covers all of these underlying mechanisms.
2. Categories of cookies used on Mega Casino
Mega Casino divides its cookie usage into three distinct categories. Your choices across those categories are presented to you on first arrival through the consent banner at the bottom of the screen, and any selection you make can be revised at any later moment using the dedicated link in the site footer.
| Category | Purpose | Consent required |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Make the site work: load the page, remember your cookie-banner choice, route traffic, prevent abuse. | No (legal basis: legitimate interest) |
| Analytics | Anonymous, aggregated traffic measurement: which pages are read, where readers come from, which links are clicked. | Yes |
| Affiliate tracking | Recognise that a click through to an operator came from Mega Casino so the partnership can be credited. | Yes |
There are no advertising or remarketing cookies deployed by Mega Casino. The site shows no on-site display advertising, runs no programmatic ad networks, and operates no pixel-tracking of readers across other sites on the wider web. The actual mechanism through which the site is funded is documented in detail on the Affiliate Disclosure page.
3. Specific cookies, third parties and lifetimes
The list below covers cookies that may be set when you visit Mega Casino. Third-party cookies are placed by services Mega Casino uses; ultimate control over their behaviour sits with the third party, and links to their own policies are provided.
| Name | Set by | Category | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|---|
megacasino_consent | Mega Casino | Strictly necessary | Stores your cookie-banner choice so the banner does not reappear on every page load. | 12 months |
megacasino_session | Mega Casino | Strictly necessary | Anonymous session identifier used to load assets and rate-limit abusive traffic. | Until browser closes |
_ga, _ga_* | Google Analytics 4 | Analytics | Aggregated traffic statistics: pages per session, traffic sources, average time on page. IP addresses are anonymised before storage. | 14 months |
megacasino_aff | Mega Casino | Affiliate tracking | Records that a click on an outbound operator link originated from Mega Casino so the partnership is credited. | 30 days |
External third-party policies referenced from this page: the Google Privacy & Terms notice covers the behaviour of Google Analytics. Operator partner sites place their own cookies the moment you click through to them; the handling of those cookies is governed by each operator's individual privacy policy and falls outside Mega Casino's remit.
4. How to control cookies in your browser
Every modern desktop and mobile browser ships with tools allowing you to block new cookies, remove cookies already stored on your device, or reject any third-party cookies completely. Direct links to the official documentation for the major browsers:
An alternative approach: open Mega Casino inside your browser's built-in private or incognito mode, where any cookies set during the visit are discarded automatically when the window is closed and not retained between separate sessions.
5. What happens if you decline non-essential cookies
Everything keeps working as it should. Every page remains readable, every internal link remains followable, and every click-through to an operator site continues to function exactly as before. Three minor consequences arise from the choice. To start, your visit will not be counted in our traffic statistics. Next, if an affiliate link is clicked while affiliate tracking is declined, the underlying partnership cannot be credited — the operator still serves you as a visitor in exactly the same way, but the resulting commission to Mega Casino never registers. Finally, the consent banner will pop back up if you clear your cookies, because the choice itself happens to be stored inside a cookie. Full editorial standards covering every page (including precisely how affiliate links are flagged) live on the Editorial Policy page, while every player-safety commitment is set out on the Responsible Gambling page.
6. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
The Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal is honoured on this site: where your browser transmits the GPC header, every non-essential cookie is rejected automatically without any further action on your part, and the consent banner itself is hidden from view. The older Do Not Track header lacks any commonly agreed enforcement standard across the industry, so it is not relied upon as a privacy signal here.
7. Updates to this policy
If the cookies in use on Mega Casino change, this page is updated and the "Last updated" date at the top of the page is revised. Material changes — new categories, new third parties — trigger a one-off consent-banner refresh so existing visitors are asked again. Minor housekeeping changes (rewording, link updates) do not trigger a fresh consent prompt.
8. Questions and complaints
Reader queries about specific individual cookies set on Mega Casino are best raised through the channels documented on the Contact Us page. Where a complaint about a UK site is the appropriate next step, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), reachable through ico.org.uk, has statutory responsibility for enforcement under the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018.
