This Cookie Policy explains how Snatch Casino uses cookies and similar technologies when a visitor opens the website, creates an account, completes a login, changes account settings or uses casino services.
Cookies help the platform maintain secure sessions, remember player preferences, process website functions and understand how different parts of the service are used. Some cookies are necessary for the website to operate, while others may be used only after the visitor has made a choice through the available consent tool.
This policy should be read together with the Snatch Casino Privacy Policy, which provides additional information about the collection, use, storage and protection of personal data.
What a Cookie Is
A cookie is a small text file stored by a browser on a computer, smartphone, tablet or another compatible device. The file may contain an identifier and limited information about a website session or selected preferences.
Cookies do not normally contain complete account records, full payment-card information or readable passwords. They may, however, be linked with technical or account-related information held by the platform.
Depending on their purpose, cookies may remain active only while the browser is open or continue to exist for a specified period after the session ends.
Why We Use Cookies
Snatch Casino may use cookies and related technologies for the following purposes:
- Maintaining secure website and account sessions
- Supporting registration and login functions
- Remembering language, currency and display preferences
- Protecting accounts from suspicious or unauthorised access
- Keeping selected settings active between visits
- Understanding how visitors navigate the website
- Identifying technical errors and performance problems
- Measuring the effectiveness of optional marketing campaigns
- Preventing repeated display of the same consent notice
Types of Cookies Used
Essential Cookies
These cookies support core website functions such as login, account security, session continuity and payment navigation. The platform may not work correctly without them.
Preference Cookies
These cookies remember choices such as language, account currency, game filters, display settings or previously selected preferences.
Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how pages and features are used. Information may be combined into reports used to improve navigation and technical performance.
Marketing Cookies
These cookies may help measure referrals, advertising campaigns and promotional interactions. Where required, they are used only after consent has been provided.
Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are needed to provide functions requested by the visitor or account holder. They may be placed automatically because disabling them could prevent the website from operating safely.
They may be used to:
- Confirm that a browser session is active
- Keep an account logged in while pages are changed
- Protect forms from unauthorised submissions
- Support security and fraud-prevention checks
- Remember cookie-consent selections
- Maintain cashier and transaction navigation
- Distribute website traffic across technical systems
Blocking essential cookies through browser settings may prevent registration, login, account management, payments or games from functioning correctly.
Preference and Functionality Cookies
Preference cookies make the platform more convenient by remembering choices made during an earlier visit.
Depending on the available website functions, these cookies may remember:
- Selected website language
- Currency display
- Game categories or filters
- Favourite or recently opened games
- Sound or visual preferences
- Consent selections
- Whether an informational notice has already been dismissed
If these cookies are disabled, the website may still operate, but some settings may need to be selected again during each visit.
Analytics and Performance Cookies
Analytics cookies may collect information about how visitors use the website. Their purpose is to identify which pages are used, where technical problems occur and how navigation can be improved.
The information may include:
- Pages opened during a visit
- Approximate session duration
- Buttons or functions used
- General device and browser type
- Page-loading performance
- Error and interruption records
- General referral source
Analytics information may be grouped into statistical reports. Where practical, it is handled without directly displaying a player’s full name or payment information.
Marketing and Attribution Cookies
Marketing cookies may be used to understand whether a visitor reached the platform through a promotional campaign, referral website or advertising placement.
They may also help:
- Measure campaign performance
- Avoid repeatedly displaying the same promotion
- Record referral attribution
- Understand general interest in selected content
- Support optional personalised communications
Where applicable law requires consent, marketing cookies are not activated until the visitor accepts the relevant category.
Cookie Category Overview
| Category | Main Purpose | Consent Approach |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | Security, login, sessions and core platform operation | Normally active by default |
| Preferences | Remembering selected settings and display choices | May depend on consent rules |
| Analytics | Measuring performance and understanding website use | Optional where consent is required |
| Marketing | Referral tracking and campaign measurement | Used after consent where required |
Session and Persistent Cookies
Cookies can also be classified according to how long they remain on a device.
Session Cookies
Session cookies are temporary. They are generally removed when the browser is closed. They may be used to keep pages connected during a single visit and maintain an active account session.
Persistent Cookies
Persistent cookies remain on a device after the browser is closed. They may remember preferences, consent selections or security information between visits.
A persistent cookie remains until its stated expiry date, until it is replaced or until the user deletes it through browser or device settings.
First-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are placed directly by the Snatch Casino website. They are commonly used for account sessions, security, preferences and core platform functionality.
These cookies are managed as part of the website’s own technical environment, subject to this Cookie Policy and the Privacy Policy.
Third-Party Cookies
Some website functions depend on external providers. These providers may place or read their own cookies when their services are loaded.
Third-party cookies may be connected with:
- Game software and live casino platforms
- Payment and verification services
- Website analytics
- Fraud and security monitoring
- Referral or campaign attribution
- Customer-support tools
External providers are responsible for their own cookie and privacy practices. Their retention periods and processing methods may differ from those used directly by Snatch Casino.
Similar Technologies
The platform may use technologies that perform functions similar to traditional browser cookies.
| Technology | Possible Use |
|---|---|
| Local storage | Saving browser-based preferences or session-related information |
| Session storage | Holding temporary information until the browser tab or session closes |
| Pixels and tags | Measuring page activity, campaign interaction or message delivery |
| Device identifiers | Supporting security, fraud prevention and account protection |
| Server logs | Recording technical requests, security events and system performance |
References to cookies in this policy may also include these related technologies where they are used for comparable purposes.
Cookie Consent
When required, visitors are shown a cookie notice or preference tool. This allows them to accept optional categories, reject them or adjust their choices.
The consent tool may offer options such as:
- Accept all available cookie categories
- Use essential cookies only
- Enable selected optional categories
- Review additional information before deciding
The selected choice may be stored in an essential cookie so that the notice does not need to appear during every page visit.
Changing Your Preferences
Cookie choices can normally be updated through the cookie settings interface available on the website.
Changing a preference does not automatically remove information already processed before the change. It prevents or limits future use according to the new selection.
Some third-party cookies may need to be removed separately through browser settings or controls provided by the relevant external service.
Managing Cookies Through a Browser
Most browsers allow users to view, block or delete cookies. The exact steps depend on the browser and device being used.
Common browser controls include:
- Deleting all stored cookies
- Blocking cookies from selected websites
- Preventing third-party cookies
- Removing cookies when the browser closes
- Receiving a warning before a cookie is stored
Browser settings may also clear saved sessions and preferences. A player may therefore need to complete login again or reselect language and display settings.
Cookies on Mobile Devices
Mobile browsers generally provide cookie controls through browser or device privacy settings. The available options differ between Android, iOS and individual browser applications.
Deleting cookies from a mobile browser may sign the user out, reset consent preferences and remove saved website settings.
Removing a browser application does not always delete every related file automatically. Device settings should be checked when a complete removal is required.
Effect of Disabling Cookies
The effect of blocking cookies depends on the category involved.
| Blocked Category | Possible Effect |
|---|---|
| Essential cookies | Login, account security, games or cashier functions may stop working |
| Preference cookies | Language and display choices may need to be selected repeatedly |
| Analytics cookies | Core access should remain available, but usage may not be included in performance reports |
| Marketing cookies | Referral measurement and optional personalised advertising may be reduced |
How Long Cookies Are Kept
Cookie retention depends on the purpose of the cookie. Some expire when the browser closes, while others remain for a limited period to remember settings or provide security functions.
Retention may be influenced by:
- The purpose of the cookie
- Security and fraud-prevention requirements
- The duration of an account session
- The selected consent preference
- External provider settings
- Applicable legal requirements
Cookies should not remain active longer than reasonably necessary for the purpose for which they were placed.
Information Connected with Cookies
Cookie identifiers may be connected with other information when a visitor is logged in or uses a platform feature.
This may include:
- Account or session identifier
- IP address
- Browser and device information
- Selected language or currency
- Security and login events
- Page and feature activity
- General referral information
Any personal information connected with cookies is handled in accordance with the Privacy Policy.
Security and Fraud Prevention
Cookies and device information may support security checks intended to protect players and the platform.
They may help identify:
- Unusual login attempts
- Sudden changes in device or location
- Repeated failed authentication
- Possible account duplication
- Automated or abusive website activity
- Attempts to bypass platform restrictions
Security cookies do not replace the player’s responsibility to protect login details and use a strong, unique password.
Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers provide a “Do Not Track” setting. There is no single technical standard requiring every website or provider to respond to this signal in the same way.
Where a browser signal is not automatically recognised, visitors can use the website cookie settings and browser controls to manage optional tracking technologies.
Changes to This Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy may be updated when website functions, legal requirements, technical providers or data-processing practices change.
Important changes may be communicated through:
- An updated effective date
- A website notice
- A revised cookie-consent interface
- A message within the account area
Visitors should review this page periodically to understand the current use of cookies and related technologies.
Cookie Questions and Requests
Questions about cookies, consent settings or the processing of cookie-related information can be submitted through the support form available on the website.
When submitting a technical question, it may be useful to include the device type, browser name and a description of the affected website function. Complete passwords or full payment details should never be included.
