Our Cookie Policy
This page explains every cookie and similar technology we set when you visit insta-spin.org.uk, why we use it, how long it stays on your device and what you can switch off. We keep the wording plain and the details specific, so you can make an informed choice before you play.
What Cookies Actually Are
A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your device when you visit. Each file holds a label and a value, nothing more: it cannot read your files, install software or access anything else stored on your phone or computer.
We use cookies to remember that you are logged in, to keep the site in English, to count how many visitors a page gets and to measure whether our bonus offers reach the right players. Similar technologies, such as local storage objects and pixels, follow the same rules set out on this page. Since we launched in 2023, we have kept our cookie use to the minimum needed to run the site safely.
The Cookies We Set
Strictly necessary
These cookies keep the site working. Without them you could not log in, your session would break between pages and our fraud checks would fail. They never track your behaviour and they cannot be switched off in your browser without losing core functionality. Examples include our session identifier, the token that keeps you authenticated while you play, and the security flag that protects deposit and withdrawal forms.
Functional
Functional cookies remember choices you have already made: your language, your currency display, whether you collapsed the game lobby filters and your stake settings on table games. They save you from resetting the same preferences on every visit.
Analytics
Analytics cookies collect aggregated data about how visitors move through the site, which pages load slowly and where people drop off during registration. The data is pooled and reported in totals; we do not use it to build advertising profiles of individual players.
Marketing
Marketing cookies let us show Instaspin Casino offers to players who have already visited us, and to measure whether an advert led to a deposit. If you decline marketing cookies, our site works exactly the same; you simply stop seeing our retargeting adverts elsewhere on the web.
| Cookie | Category | Purpose | Duration | Opt-out |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| instaspin_session | Strictly necessary | Keeps your login session active | Session (ends on close) | No, required |
| instaspin_auth | Strictly necessary | Authentication token | 24 hours | No, required |
| instaspin_csrf | Strictly necessary | Protects forms from fraud | Session | No, required |
| instaspin_lang | Functional | Stores your language choice | 90 days | Yes, via banner |
| instaspin_prefs | Functional | Stores lobby and display preferences | 90 days | Yes, via banner |
| instaspin_analytics | Analytics | Aggregated visitor statistics | 30 days | Yes, via banner |
| instaspin_ads | Marketing | Retargeting and ad measurement | 180 days | Yes, via banner |
Cookies From Third Parties
Some cookies on our site are placed by the partners we work with, not by us directly. We allow three categories of third-party cookies: analytics providers that measure site performance, advertising networks that deliver our campaigns, and payment providers that add an extra fraud check when you deposit with Visa Debit, Mastercard or an e-wallet.
Third-party cookies never receive your password, your game history or your withdrawal details. Each partner works under a data processing agreement with us and must follow this policy. When you decline non-essential cookies in our banner, that choice applies to third-party categories too, so analytics and advertising partners receive nothing.
Manage Your Cookie Choices
On our site
A consent banner appears the first time you open insta-spin.org.uk. From there you can accept all cookies, reject everything except the strictly necessary set, or open granular controls and toggle analytics and marketing separately. You can reopen the banner at any time through the "Cookie settings" link in the footer; your choice takes effect immediately and applies across all your visits until you change it.
In your browser
Every major browser also lets you block or delete cookies directly, whatever you decide on our site.
- Chrome: Settings, then Privacy and security, then Third-party cookies, and choose to block or clear.
- Safari: Settings, then Privacy, and use Manage Website Data to remove individual cookies.
- Firefox: Settings, then Privacy & Security, and choose your cookie behaviour under Enhanced Tracking Protection.
- Edge: Settings, then Cookies and site permissions, then Manage and delete cookies.
What happens if you block cookies
Blocking strictly necessary cookies breaks the site: you will be logged out on every page load, deposits will fail our fraud checks and game rounds may not load. Blocking analytics or marketing cookies has no effect on play. You keep full access to our 2,000 games, bonuses and 24/7 live chat either way.
How Long We Keep Cookies
Each cookie carries its own expiry. Session cookies vanish the moment you close your browser. Short-lived preferences last 30 days, functional choices 90 days and marketing identifiers up to 180 days, refreshed only when you return. Nothing persists longer than 365 days, and you can wipe any cookie from your browser at any point before then.
Where the law requires us to evidence your consent, we keep a record of your banner choice for up to 12 months. That record contains your decision and its timestamp, nothing else.
Changes to This Policy
When we add, remove or change a cookie category, we update this page and change the version date at the top. If a change introduces a new non-essential cookie, we show the consent banner again rather than relying on your earlier choice. Questions about anything here go to our Data Protection Officer at [email protected], answered around the clock by our 24/7 support team.
Frequently asked questions
Do cookies share my gambling history with advertisers?
No. Marketing cookies only tell an ad network that you visited Instaspin Casino, so we can show you our offers elsewhere. Your game rounds, deposits and withdrawals are never shared with advertising partners.
Can I play without any cookies?
Not fully. Strictly necessary cookies keep you logged in and let deposits pass our security checks, so those must stay. You can decline analytics and marketing cookies in the banner and the site works exactly the same.
How do I change my choice later?
Use the "Cookie settings" link in our footer at any time. The banner reopens, your new choice applies immediately and replaces the old one.
Do you sell cookie data?
No. We never sell consent data or browsing data. Analytics and advertising partners process it only under contract with us, and only for the purposes described on this page.
