Cookie Policy

1. Introduction

1.1 Who We Are and Scope of This Cookie Policy

1.1.1 This Cookie Policy explains how Go Spin Casino (“Go Spin Casino”, “we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on gospincasino.com (the “Website”).

1.1.2 Go Spin Casino is operated by an independent digital publishing entity established within the European Union, which provides comparison, review and informational services related to online casinos and iGaming brands.

1.1.3 This Cookie Policy applies to:

• Your use of the Website on any device (desktop, mobile, tablet);
• Any tools, widgets, embedded content, and tracking technologies running on the Website;
• Cookies placed by us (first-party) and by selected third parties (third-party) when you visit or interact with the Website.

1.2 Relationship with the Privacy Policy and Terms & Conditions

1.2.1 This Cookie Policy forms part of our broader legal framework, which also includes:

• Our Terms & Conditions, which govern your use of the Website and our services; and
• Our Privacy Policy, which explains in detail how we process Personal Data, your rights as a data subject, and our data protection practices.

1.2.2 While this Cookie Policy focuses specifically on cookies and similar technologies, you should read it together with the Privacy Policy and Terms & Conditions. Where the use of cookies involves the processing of Personal Data, the relevant provisions of the Privacy Policy also apply.

1.3 What Cookies and Similar Technologies Are (High-Level)

1.3.1 Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet) when you visit a website. They enable the website to recognise your device and remember certain information about your visit, such as:

• Your preferences (e.g. language, cookie choices);
• How you navigate through pages;
• Whether you are a new or returning visitor;
• Which links or outbound offers you interacted with.

1.3.2 In addition to traditional cookies, we may also use similar technologies, such as:

• Pixel tags / tracking pixels – small pieces of code that allow us or our partners to understand whether certain actions have taken place (for example, a click or a page view);
• Scripts and tags – code loaded in your browser that provides analytics, security, or functionality;
• Local storage and session storage – browser-based storage mechanisms that can keep small pieces of information on your device.

For simplicity, this Cookie Policy refers to all of these collectively as “cookies” unless a distinction is necessary.

1.4 Applicable Laws (GDPR / ePrivacy / EU Cookie Law, Where Relevant)

1.4.1 Our use of cookies is subject to applicable data protection and electronic communications laws, including where relevant:

• The General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (“GDPR”);
• The UK GDPR and UK Data Protection Act (where applicable to UK users);
• The ePrivacy Directive (2002/58/EC, as amended) and its national implementations (often referred to as the “EU Cookie Law”);
• Any other local laws and guidance from supervisory authorities that apply to our use of cookies and tracking technologies.

1.4.2 In line with these rules, we:

• Obtain consent where required before setting non-essential cookies (e.g. analytics, marketing, affiliate tracking);
• Allow you to manage your cookie preferences via our consent tools and your browser settings;
• Provide clear information about the cookies we use, why we use them, and how long they persist.

1.4.3 By continuing to use the Website after being presented with our cookie banner or preference tool, and after making your choices, you acknowledge that your cookies will be used in accordance with this Cookie Policy and your selected preferences.

2. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?

2.1 Definition of Cookies (HTTP Cookies, First-Party and Third-Party)

2.1.1 Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device (computer, phone, tablet) via your web browser when you visit or interact with that site. They usually contain:

• A unique identifier;
• The name of the website that set the cookie;
• Basic information such as duration and some preference or technical data.

2.1.2 On Go Spin Casino, we use:

• First-party cookies – Set by gospincasino.com directly. These support core site functionality, security, consent management, preferences, analytics, and internal tracking (e.g. remembering your cookie settings or measuring site performance).
• Third-party cookies – Set by external services that are integrated into our Website, such as analytics, security, email marketing, and other tools (for example: Cloudflare, Google Analytics / Site Kit, Microsoft Clarity, AWeber, and similar providers).

2.1.3 These cookies allow us and our partners to recognise your browser over time and across page views so we can:

• Keep the Website secure and functioning;
• Understand how visitors interact with our content;
• Improve user experience and relevance;
• Measure outbound clicks and affiliate performance in a privacy-conscious way.

2.2 Session vs. Persistent Cookies

2.2.1 Cookies can also be categorised by how long they remain on your device:

• Session cookies
  • Temporary cookies that exist only while your browser is open.
  • They are deleted automatically when you close your browser.
  • Typically used for things like session management, basic navigation, and short-lived technical tasks.
• Persistent cookies
  • Remain on your device for a predefined period (for example, days, months, or years) or until you manually delete them.
  • Used for remembering your preferences (e.g. language settings, cookie choices), recognising returning visitors, and supporting longer-term analytics and performance measurement.

2.2.2 The specific expiry period for each cookie can vary. In our detailed overview section, we indicate typical durations or describe that a cookie is session-based where relevant.

2.3 Other Technologies: Pixels, Tags, Local Storage, Scripts

2.3.1 In addition to traditional cookies, the Website may use other technologies that perform similar functions, including:

• Tracking pixels / web beacons Small, often invisible image or code snippets embedded in a page or email which allow us or our partners to see that a particular page has been loaded or a specific action has occurred (for example, an impression or click).
• Tags and scripts Pieces of code loaded in your browser (often via tools like Google Tag Manager or similar) that enable analytics, consent management, affiliate tracking, A/B testing, or marketing integrations. These scripts may read or set cookies and send technical usage data back to our service providers.
• Local storage / session storage Browser-based storage mechanisms that can keep small pieces of data on your device, similar in purpose to cookies but technically distinct. These can be used to remember settings or state across page views without always relying on standard HTTP cookies.

2.3.2 For ease of reading, this Cookie Policy uses the term “cookies” to cover all of these technologies where the distinction is not critical, although we apply the same principles of transparency, consent (where required), and control to all such tracking mechanisms.

3. How We Use Cookies on Go Spin Casino

3.1 General Purposes (Operate, Secure, Measure, Improve, Monetise)

3.1.1 We use cookies and similar technologies on Go Spin Casino to support the core functions of the Website and to run the business behind it. In particular, cookies help us to:

• Operate the Website
  • Load pages correctly and consistently
  • Remember basic choices such as your cookie preferences
  • Enable core WordPress and theme features
• Secure the Website
  • Protect against bots, abuse, and malicious traffic (e.g. Cloudflare, Wordfence)
  • Maintain the integrity and availability of our services
• Measure & understand how the Website is used
  • See which pages are visited and how users navigate (e.g. Google Analytics / GA4)
  • Understand what content, tools, and reviews are most useful
  • Diagnose technical issues and monitor performance
• Improve user experience and content
  • Optimise layouts, menus, translations, and internal flows
  • Analyse engagement with reviews, guides, and outbound links to partners
• Monetise our content responsibly
  • Track which outbound links to partner casinos are clicked
  • Measure marketing and affiliate performance in a privacy-aware way

3.1.2 Most of this is done on an aggregated or pseudonymous basis, and where cookies involve Personal Data, that processing is governed by our Privacy Policy.

3.2 Connection with Our Affiliate / Partnership Model

3.2.1 Go Spin Casino is an independent affiliate and comparison site, not an online casino operator. Our revenue model is primarily based on:

• Affiliate links and tracking to partner casinos and brands (CPA, RevShare, Hybrid);
• Fixed-fee placements or sponsorships where applicable.

3.2.2 To make this work, we and our partners need to know:

• That a visitor came from Go Spin Casino to a partner site;
• Which page or campaign they clicked from;
• Basic performance metrics (clicks, FTDs, revenue generated at an aggregated level).

3.2.3 Cookies and similar technologies are therefore used to:

• Assign and remember click IDs or campaign IDs when you click a link to a partner;
• Help our affiliate platforms or partners attribute traffic and conversions to Go Spin Casino;
• Analyse which placements and offers perform best, so we can prioritise what’s genuinely useful to players.

3.2.4 These tracking mechanisms are not used to run real-money gambling on our side, nor do they give us access to your casino player accounts. Partner casinos and networks operate their own systems and set their own cookies under their own policies once you land on their domains.

3.3 Overview of Cookie Categories Used on the Site

3.3.1 For transparency and to align with GDPR / ePrivacy and our Complianz consent setup, we group cookies on Go Spin Casino into the following broad categories:

• Strictly Necessary / Essential cookies
  • Required for the Website to function correctly and securely.
  • Examples: security and firewall cookies (Cloudflare, Wordfence), core WordPress/session cookies, consent cookies (cmplz_*) that remember your choices.
  • These typically do not require consent, but you can still block them via browser settings (with functional impact).
• Functional / Preference cookies
  • Help us remember your settings and choices, such as language, site layout, or certain UX preferences.
  • May be set by the site or by tools providing features (e.g. translation plugins, some gamification/user-profile functionality).
• Analytics / Statistics cookies
  • Used to understand how visitors use the Website, on an aggregated level.
  • Examples: Google Analytics / Site Kit, Microsoft Clarity session tracking, internal performance metrics.
  • These help us improve content, structure, and performance. In the EU/EEA/UK, they are typically subject to your consent via the cookie banner.
• Marketing, Affiliate & Tracking cookies
  • Support our affiliate relationships, email marketing, and promotional activities.
  • Examples:
    • Click and campaign tracking for outbound links to casinos (Pretty Links and related scripts);
    • Popup and email capture tools (e.g. AWeber / Ninja Popups cookies such as awpopup_*);
    • Potential ad or remarketing tags, where implemented.
  • These cookies are only used when enabled under the “marketing” / “statistics” / similar categories in our Complianz consent panel.

3.3.2 You can review and adjust which categories you allow or reject at any time via our cookie banner or preference centre, and you can also manage cookies through your browser settings, as explained later in this Policy.

4. Cookie Categories We Use

To keep things clear and aligned with our Complianz consent settings, we group cookies on Go Spin Casino into four main categories.

4.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies

4.1.1 Strictly necessary cookies are required for basic operation, security, and consent management. Our Website cannot function properly without them, so they are always active when you browse gospincasino.com (unless you block them manually in your browser, which may break core functionality).

4.1.2 These typically include:

• Security and protection cookies
  • For example, cookies set by Cloudflare (such as __cf_bm) help us distinguish legitimate traffic from bots and protect the Website from malicious requests, DDoS attacks, and abusive behaviour.
  • Security plugins such as Wordfence may also set cookies to detect repeated login attempts, suspicious activity, or other threat patterns.
• Core WordPress and session cookies
  • Essential cookies used by WordPress and our theme/plugins to:
    • Maintain your session across page loads;
    • Enable basic navigation and page rendering;
    • Support login and account-related functionality where applicable.
• Consent management cookies (Complianz cmplz_*)
  • Cookies such as cmplz_banner-status, cmplz_functional, cmplz_preferences, cmplz_marketing, cmplz_saved_categories, cmplz_policy_id, etc.
  • These cookies are used to:
    • Record whether you have seen and interacted with the cookie banner;
    • Store your cookie category preferences (e.g. which categories you allowed or declined);
    • Ensure we respect your choices on subsequent visits.

4.1.3 Because these cookies are essential for security, legal compliance, and basic operation, they are set based on our legitimate interests and/or legal obligations and do not generally require your prior consent under EU/EEA cookie rules.

4.2 Functional / Preference Cookies

4.2.1 Functional or preference cookies allow us to remember your choices and personalise your experience on Go Spin Casino. If you disable or refuse these, some features may not work as intended, but the site will still be accessible.

4.2.2 Examples include:

• Language and translation (TranslatePress and related tools)
  • Cookies that remember your preferred language or locale, so you don’t have to re-select it each time you visit.
• Layout, menu and UI preferences
  • Cookies set by our theme and UI plugins (for example, Mercury theme, Max Mega Menu and other interface-related tools) to:
    • Remember how menus are expanded/collapsed;
    • Store your display or sorting preferences on certain lists or components;
    • Maintain UX choices across pages.
• Gamification / user progress (GamiPress, Ultimate Member, etc.)
  • Where enabled, some cookies may store basic progress or achievement state, such as:
    • Whether you’ve unlocked certain actions or viewed certain elements;
    • Progress in gamified flows or loyalty-style mechanics on the site;
    • Preferences linked to community/profile features.

4.2.3 These cookies are typically activated when you enable “functional” or “preferences” in our Complianz consent banner.

4.3 Analytics and Performance Cookies

4.3.1 Analytics and performance cookies help us understand how visitors use Go Spin Casino, so we can improve content, structure, and technical performance. These cookies are important for optimisation but are not strictly necessary and are therefore subject to your consent in the EU/EEA/UK.

4.3.2 We may use, for example:

• Google Analytics / GA4 (via Site Kit by Google)
  • Cookies such as _ga, _ga_* and related identifiers.
  • Used to collect aggregated information about:
    • Number of visitors, page views, and session duration;
    • Traffic sources (e.g. organic search, referral, direct);
    • General device/browser data and on-site behaviour.
• Microsoft Clarity or similar session replay / heatmap tools
  • Cookies like _clck and _clsk allow us to:
    • Analyse click patterns, scroll depth and interaction flows;
    • View anonymised or pseudonymised session replays;
    • Identify UX bottlenecks or confusing layouts.
  • Sensitive fields (such as form inputs where applicable) are typically masked or excluded according to the provider’s configuration.
• Internal performance and usage tracking
  • Certain scripts (e.g. via Pretty Links or other tracking mechanisms) may:
    • Record which outbound links are clicked;
    • Measure which articles, reviews, or tools generate the most engagement;
    • Help us benchmark the performance of different layouts or content types.

4.3.3 These cookies and scripts are generally grouped under “statistics” / “analytics” in our consent banner. You can accept or decline them, and change your preference at any time.

4.4 Marketing, Affiliate & Tracking Cookies

4.4.1 Marketing, affiliate and tracking cookies support our commercial model and our ability to run email marketing, popups, campaigns, and affiliate partnerships. These cookies are not essential for browsing the site and are only used where permitted under your consent settings.

4.4.2 Examples include:

• Affiliate click tracking and link redirects
  • Tools such as Pretty Links and similar redirect mechanisms may set cookies or use IDs to:
    • Attribute clicks and journeys to specific campaigns or pages on Go Spin Casino;
    • Track which offers or brands users clicked on;
    • Support our affiliate reporting (CPA, RevShare, Hybrid) with partner casinos and networks.
• Email marketing & popups (AWeber / Ninja Popups and related tools)
  • Cookies like awpopup_* or other AWeber / popup-related cookies may:
    • Remember whether a particular popup or signup form has been shown to you;
    • Prevent repetitive display of the same campaign;
    • Link your browser session with an email address you voluntarily submit, for the purpose of managing subscription status and campaign performance.
• Social sharing and social scripts (Sassy Social Share)
  • Social sharing plugins may load scripts from social media platforms or related services and, in some cases, set cookies that:
    • Measure sharing interactions;
    • Allow social networks to understand that you visited our site (if you are logged in to them).
• Remarketing and advertising tags (if implemented)
  • Where used, tags from providers such as Google Ads, Facebook/Meta, or other networks may:
    • Build audiences for remarketing based on visits to Go Spin Casino;
    • Optimise ad delivery and measure advertising performance.
  • These tags and cookies are only active when you consent to marketing cookies in our consent banner.

4.4.3 All such cookies fall under “marketing” / “advertising” in the Complianz consent categories. You can choose to allow or refuse them and modify your choice at any time via the cookie settings or your browser controls.

5. Detailed Overview of Cookies Used

We use a mix of first-party cookies (set by gospincasino.com) and third-party cookies (set by our partners and service providers). The lists below are representative, not absolutely exhaustive – some cookies may change name, provider, or behaviour over time as we update plugins, security tools, and analytics.

5.1 First-Party Cookies (set by gospincasino.com)

These cookies are set directly by Go Spin Casino and usually relate to site operation, consent management, preferences, and analytics configuration.

In addition, the following functional or operational cookies may be set from our WordPress stack and feature plugins (names can vary by version and configuration):

• WordPress core session cookies (for logins and security, where applicable)
• Theme and UI cookies (Mercury theme, Max Mega Menu) to remember layout/menu states
• Plugin-specific cookies (e.g. GamiPress, Ultimate Member) to support user profiles, progress, or community features

These are generally functional or strictly necessary, depending on their role.

5.2 Third-Party Cookies (set by external providers)

These cookies are set by services integrated into our Website, such as security platforms, analytics tools, email providers, and marketing/affiliate tools.

The exact list may change as we add or remove services, but the main providers currently include:

5.2.1 Cloudflare (Security & Performance)

Cloudflare may set additional strictly necessary cookies related to caching and security.

5.2.2 Google (Analytics, Site Kit, Tag Management)

Other Google-related cookies may be set via Site Kit by Google or Google Tag Manager depending on active services (e.g. additional analytics or marketing tags, if enabled).

5.2.3 Microsoft Clarity (Session Replay / Heatmaps)

Clarity may use additional internal identifiers, but they are generally non-identifying and focused on behaviour and UX analysis.

5.2.4 AWeber and Popup / Email Marketing Tools

AWeber and related popup tools may set additional cookies for load balancing, campaign frequency, and subscription management, all governed by AWeber’s own policies.

5.2.5 Other Third-Party Tools

Based on the plugins and services in use, additional third-party cookies may be set by:

• Security & infrastructure
  • Wordfence (firewall, brute-force detection)
• Social sharing & integrations
  • Sassy Social Share – may load scripts from social platforms that set their own cookies when you interact with share buttons
• Affiliate tracking & link redirects
  • Pretty Links – may rely on cookies and/or query parameters to track click-throughs, campaigns, and performance data

Each third-party provider determines its own cookie names, purposes, and retention periods. For detailed information, you should review the privacy and cookie policies of those providers directly (for example, Google, Microsoft, AWeber, Cloudflare, etc.).

5.3 Changes Over Time and “Representative” List Explanation

5.3.1 Because Go Spin Casino is a live, evolving platform, the exact cookies and trackers in use may change over time, for example when we:

• Update or replace plugins or analytics tools;
• Add new features (e.g. additional languages, UX modules, or community functions);
• Integrate or disable specific marketing or affiliate scripts.

5.3.2 For that reason, the tables above should be viewed as a representative snapshot, not a permanent, exhaustive catalogue of every cookie that may ever be set.

5.3.3 Our Complianz consent banner and settings are dynamically connected to the Website and reflect cookies and services detected at a given time. Where you need the most up-to-date view of active cookies and categories, you should consult:

• The cookie banner / preferences panel shown when you first visit or when you update your choices; and
• This Cookie Policy, which we may update from time to time to reflect material changes.

5.3.4 If you have specific concerns about a particular cookie or provider, you can contact us using the details in the Contact section, and we’ll clarify how that cookie is used or, where appropriate, how you can opt out.

6. Consent and Cookie Banner (Complianz CMP)

6.1 How Our Consent Banner Works (Complianz Categories)

6.1.1 On your first visit to Go Spin Casino (and periodically thereafter), you’ll see a cookie banner powered by Complianz (our Consent Management Platform – CMP).

6.1.2 This banner:

• Explains that we use cookies and similar technologies;
• Groups cookies into categories (e.g. functional, preferences, statistics, marketing);
• Allows you to accept all, reject non-essential, or customise which categories you want to allow.

6.1.3 Until you make a choice, we will not activate non-essential cookies (such as analytics or marketing) for users in jurisdictions where consent is required (e.g. EU/EEA/UK). Essential cookies may still run to keep the site operating and to display the banner itself.

6.2 Categories That Require Consent

6.2.1 In line with GDPR / ePrivacy requirements, we distinguish between:

• Strictly necessary / essential cookies
  • Used for security, basic functionality, and consent management itself.
  • These generally do not require prior consent, but we still inform you about them.
• Non-essential cookies, which typically do require your consent:
  • Functional / Preference cookies – remembering language, layout choices, minor UX preferences that go beyond what’s strictly necessary.
  • Statistics / Analytics cookies – tools like Google Analytics / GA4, Microsoft Clarity and similar, used to understand usage and improve the site.
  • Marketing / Affiliate cookies – used for email campaigns, popups, affiliate tracking, and any remarketing or advertising tags (if active).

6.2.2 Within the Complianz banner, these non-essential categories are presented clearly, and you may:

• Consent to all of them;
• Consent to some categories but not others;
• Decline all non-essential categories.

6.3 How Consent Is Recorded (Complianz cmplz_* Cookies)

6.3.1 Once you make a choice in the banner or settings panel, Complianz sets several first-party cookies (typically with names such as cmplz_banner-status, cmplz_functional, cmplz_preferences, cmplz_marketing, cmplz_saved_categories, cmplz_policy_id, cmplz_saved_services, etc.).

6.3.2 These cookies:

• Record whether you saw and interacted with the banner;
• Store your category-level consent choices (e.g. which categories you allowed);
• Help us ensure that your preferences are respected on future page loads and visits;
• Avoid showing the full banner every time, unless required or until consent expires.

6.3.3 These consent cookies contain no marketing content themselves; they are used solely for record-keeping and compliance and are treated as strictly necessary under applicable laws.

6.4 How to Change or Withdraw Your Consent via the CMP Panel

6.4.1 You can change your cookie preferences at any time. On Go Spin Casino, you will typically find a link or button such as “Cookie settings” or similar in the footer or another clearly visible area of the Website.

6.4.2 By clicking this link, you can reopen the Complianz preferences panel, where you may:

• Review your current choices;
• Enable or disable entire categories (functional, preferences, statistics, marketing);
• Save updated settings, which will then be applied to future browsing sessions.

6.4.3 If you withdraw consent for a category:

• New cookies from that category will no longer be set;
• Where technically feasible, non-essential cookies previously set by our site may be removed;
• You may still need to clear cookies manually from your browser to remove all existing third-party cookies (see the “Managing Cookies in Your Browser” section).

6.4.4 Changing your consent preferences in the CMP does not affect cookies that are strictly necessary for basic operation and security. Those remain active as long as you continue using the Website, unless you block them directly via your browser (which may impact functionality).

7. Managing Cookies in Your Browser and Devices

7.1 Using Browser Settings to Block or Delete Cookies

7.1.1 In addition to our consent banner, you can manage cookies directly through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

• Block all cookies;
• Block cookies from specific websites;
• Delete existing cookies;
• Clear browsing data (including cookies and site data);
• Set rules for cookies on a per-site basis.

7.1.2 If you choose to block cookies at browser level, this will apply not only to Go Spin Casino but also to all other websites you visit, unless you configure exceptions.

7.2 Impact of Disabling Certain Cookies

7.2.1 If you disable or delete cookies, please be aware of the potential impact:

• Strictly necessary cookies
  • If blocked, parts of the Website may not load or function correctly.
  • Security protections (e.g. Cloudflare, Wordfence) may not work as intended and access could be limited.
  • Your consent preferences may not be remembered, so you might see the cookie banner repeatedly.
• Functional / Preference cookies
  • Your language, layout, or interface preferences may not be saved between visits.
  • Some UX features (menus, gamification, profile-related behaviour) may reset or behave less smoothly.
• Analytics cookies
  • We will have less insight into how the site is used, which may affect our ability to improve performance and content, but you’ll still be able to browse.
• Marketing & affiliate cookies
  • You may see fewer tailored promotions or popups.
  • Our measurement of outbound clicks and campaign performance will be more limited, but this doesn’t prevent you from visiting partner casinos.

7.2.2 In short, blocking or deleting cookies can lead to a less personalised or less stable experience, but you remain in full control.

7.3 Links to Browser Help Pages

7.3.1 For more detailed instructions on how to manage cookies, you can consult your browser’s help pages:

• Google Chrome (desktop & mobile) https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95647
• Mozilla Firefox https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/cookies-information-websites-store-on-your-computer
• Microsoft Edge https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4027947/windows-delete-cookies
• Safari (macOS) https://support.apple.com/guide/safari/manage-cookies-and-website-data-sfri11471
• Safari (iOS) https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201265
• Opera https://help.opera.com/en/latest/web-preferences/#cookies

7.3.2 If you use multiple devices (for example, a laptop and a smartphone), you’ll need to adjust cookie settings on each device and browser separately.

8. Third-Party Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We integrate a number of trusted third-party services on Go Spin Casino. These providers may set their own cookies and tracking technologies when you visit or interact with the Website. This section explains the main ones and how they work at a high level.

8.1 Google Analytics / GA4 (What It Collects, Opt-Out Options)

8.1.1 We use Google Analytics / GA4, implemented via Site Kit by Google, to understand how visitors use Go Spin Casino and to improve our content, structure, and performance.

8.1.2 Google Analytics may collect information such as:

• Pages visited and time spent on each page;
• The path you take through the site (navigation flow);
• Your approximate location (city/country, based on IP, often IP-masked in the EU/EEA);
• Device, operating system and browser type;
• Referring sources (e.g. search engines, other websites, direct);
• Events such as outbound link clicks and specific interactions.

8.1.3 We use this data in aggregated or pseudonymised form, not to identify you as an individual, but to analyse behaviour trends and site performance.

8.1.4 Opt-out options:

• You can refuse analytics cookies via our Complianz consent banner by disabling the “statistics/analytics” category.
• You can also install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on provided by Google, which prevents Google Analytics from collecting data about your visits across all websites that use it.

8.2 Microsoft Clarity or Similar Session Replay Tools

8.2.1 We use Microsoft Clarity (or a similar user experience analytics tool) to better understand how visitors interact with Go Spin Casino and to identify usability issues.

8.2.2 Clarity may record, in anonymised or pseudonymised form:

• Clicks, scroll depth and mouse movements;
• Page load times and error states;
• Navigation between pages;
• Technical details such as browser type, device type, and viewport size.

8.2.3 Clarity provides session replays and heatmaps that help us see where users struggle, drop off, or engage most. We configure the tool to avoid capturing sensitive fields and do not use Clarity to collect payment details, authentication credentials, or similar high-risk data.

8.2.4 You can disable these cookies by refusing statistics/analytics in our consent banner or by blocking cookies for gospincasino.com or Clarity domains in your browser settings.

8.3 Cloudflare Security Cookies

8.3.1 We use Cloudflare as a security and performance layer (CDN and WAF). Cloudflare sets cookies such as __cf_bm and possibly others to:

• Distinguish legitimate human visitors from bots;
• Apply rate-limiting and firewall rules;
• Ensure the site loads reliably and securely across regions.

8.3.2 These cookies are considered strictly necessary for security and infrastructure protection. They do not track your browsing across unrelated sites and are managed under Cloudflare’s own privacy framework.

8.4 AWeber Popups and Email Marketing Cookies

8.4.1 We use AWeber and related popup/email capture tools (e.g. Ninja Popups integrated with AWeber) to manage our newsletter and email campaigns.

8.4.2 Cookies set from AWeber domains or by popup scripts (for example awpopup_* and related cookies) are typically used to:

• Determine whether you have already seen or closed a specific popup;
• Control how frequently a subscription form is displayed;
• Help link a submitted email address to the appropriate campaign or segment (when you voluntarily subscribe).

8.4.3 These cookies are categorised as marketing and/or functional and are only activated in the EU/EEA/UK when you consent to marketing cookies in the Complianz banner.

8.5 Social Sharing Plugins (Sassy Social Share) and Potential Third-Party Cookies

8.5.1 We use Sassy Social Share to allow you to share Go Spin Casino pages to social networks (e.g. Facebook, X/Twitter, Reddit, WhatsApp and others supported by the plugin).

8.5.2 When you interact with these buttons:

• The plugin may load scripts or assets from the relevant social platforms;
• Those platforms may set their own cookies and track your interaction, especially if you are logged into those services in your browser.

8.5.3 We do not control how social networks use this data. Any cookies set by social platforms are governed by their own privacy and cookie policies. You can manage them in your browser settings and within your social account privacy controls.

8.6 Other Integrated Third-Party Scripts

8.6.1 From time to time, we may integrate additional third-party services or scripts that:

• Enhance security or spam protection;
• Provide UX features, forms, or polls;
• Support affiliate tracking and performance measurement;
• Enable A/B testing or performance optimisation.

8.6.2 Examples may include:

• Security plugins (e.g. Wordfence) that set cookies to detect and mitigate attacks;
• Affiliate link tools (e.g. Pretty Links) that may rely on identifiers to track outbound clicks and campaigns;
• Webhooks or REST integrations (e.g. through WP Webhooks or Make Connector) that themselves may not set cookies but may rely on cookies set by other services.

8.6.3 Whenever such services use cookies, they are covered by the same consent categories (functional, statistics, marketing) and are surfaced through our Complianz consent system. For details on the exact cookies in use at any given time, you can consult:

• The cookie banner / settings panel; and
• This Cookie Policy, which we update from time to time.

8.6.4 We encourage you to review the privacy and cookie policies of these providers directly if you want more granular information about their individual processing and retention practices.

9. Affiliate Tracking and Outbound Links

9.1 How We Track Outbound Clicks to Partner Casinos and Brands

9.1.1 Go Spin Casino earns revenue primarily as an affiliate and comparison site. This means that when you click a link from our Website to a partner casino or brand, that click may be tracked so the partner knows the traffic originated from gospincasino.com.

9.1.2 We typically use:

• Pretty Links and similar redirect tools
  
  • When you click “Play Now”, “Claim Bonus”, or similar buttons, your browser may briefly pass through a tracking URL (often hosted on our domain) before landing on the casino.
  • This allows us to count the click and attach simple campaign identifiers in a privacy-aware way.
• Tracking parameters (UTM/subid logic)
  • Outbound links may include parameters such as utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign, or subIDs provided by affiliate programs.
  • These parameters help us and the partner identify which page, campaign, or placement generated the click or conversion (e.g. FTD).

9.1.3 This tracking is standard practice in the affiliate industry and is used to evaluate the performance of our reviews, bonus listings, and placements.

9.2 Use of Cookies/IDs to Measure Performance and Commissions

9.2.1 In some cases, our tracking setup or the partner’s affiliate platform may use cookies or IDs to:

• Record that a visitor came from Go Spin Casino;
• Attribute future sign-ups, deposits or activity on the casino to our referral;
• Calculate commissions (CPA, Revenue Share, Hybrid) on an aggregated level.

9.2.2 Any identifiers we use are designed to be non-directly identifying from our perspective. For example:

• We typically see anonymised or pseudonymised data such as counts of FTDs, deposits, and revenue, not your full player account details;
• We do not see your passwords, full payment details, full KYC documents, or detailed transaction logs inside the casino—those remain with the operator.

9.2.3 On our side, any cookies or IDs used purely for affiliate tracking are treated as marketing / tracking cookies and are controlled through our Complianz consent categories where required by law (e.g. EU/EEA/UK visitors).

9.3 Relationship with Third-Party Casino Tracking Systems

9.3.1 Once you leave Go Spin Casino by clicking through to a partner casino, the casino or its affiliate platform may:

• Drop their own affiliate cookies;
• Store session IDs or player IDs in their systems;
• Log your actions (such as registration, deposits, bonuses taken) to close the loop on attribution.

9.3.2 These tracking mechanisms are owned and controlled by the casino or its affiliate network, not by Go Spin Casino. They operate under their own:

• Terms & Conditions;
• Privacy Policies;
• Cookie Policies and technical setups.

9.3.3 We receive reporting data from the casino or affiliate platform (often in dashboards or exports), usually in aggregated form (e.g. “X FTDs from Campaign A in GEO B”), which we use to:

• Optimise our content and rankings;
• Evaluate which brands and offers perform and convert;
• Run internal business and compliance checks.

9.4 Clarification That Casinos Operate Their Own Cookies and Policies

9.4.1 Our responsibility for cookies and tracking ends on our domain (gospincasino.com and any related subdomains we control). When you click out to a partner casino or brand:

• That website becomes responsible for its own cookies, tracking technologies, and data collection practices;
• Different laws and policies may apply depending on the operator and your jurisdiction.

9.4.2 We strongly recommend that, before signing up or depositing with any casino, you review:

• The casino’s Privacy Policy;
• The casino’s Cookie Policy;
• The casino’s Bonus Terms, General Terms & Conditions, and Responsible Gambling pages.

9.4.3 Go Spin Casino does not control how these operators implement their cookies or tracking technologies and cannot be held responsible for their practices. Your relationship with them is governed by their own terms and policies once you leave our site.

10. Relationship with Personal Data

10.1 When Cookies Involve Personal Data vs. Anonymous/Aggregated Data

10.1.1 Some cookies and tracking technologies used on Go Spin Casino operate purely on an anonymous or aggregated basis (for example, counting page views or clicks without any reasonable way to identify a specific individual).

10.1.2 However, certain cookies may qualify as or become linked to Personal Data under data protection law, for example where they:

• Store or are associated with online identifiers (such as IP addresses, device IDs, or unique cookie IDs);
• Are combined with other information (such as an email address you provide when subscribing to a newsletter);
• Allow us or our service providers to distinguish one user from another over time and across visits.

10.1.3 When cookies or other tracking technologies can reasonably be linked to an identifiable person, we treat the resulting data as Personal Data and apply the safeguards and rights described in our Privacy Policy.

10.2 How Cookies and Analytics Relate to Profiling and Geotargeting

10.2.1 On Go Spin Casino, cookies and analytics may be used to create basic profiles or segments, generally at a non-intrusive and aggregated level, for purposes such as:

• Understanding which types of content (reviews, guides, bonus pages) are most popular;
• Grouping visitors by broad interest or behaviour patterns (e.g. desktop vs mobile users, new vs returning visitors);
• Tracking which GEOs interact most with specific casino offers.

10.2.2 We may also use cookies and IP-based information for geotargeting, for example to:

• Show or prioritise content that is more relevant to your country or region (e.g. currency, language, bonus availability where legally permissible);
• Apply geo-restrictions where necessary (for instance, not promoting certain brands in prohibited jurisdictions).

10.2.3 We do not use cookies to engage in invasive, high-risk profiling such as:

• Automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects (e.g. credit scoring, KYC acceptance/denial, etc. – these are handled by the casinos themselves);
• Combining our cookie data with external databases in a way that would create detailed behavioural dossiers on individuals.

10.2.4 Where profiling or geotargeting is based on cookies that require consent (e.g. analytics, marketing), such activities are only carried out if you have accepted the relevant cookie categories in our consent banner.

10.3 Reference Back to the Privacy Policy for Full Data Protection Details

10.3.1 This Cookie Policy focuses on what cookies and tracking technologies we use and why. It does not replace our Privacy Policy, which provides the full picture of how we handle Personal Data, including:

• The legal bases we rely on (consent, legitimate interests, legal obligations, etc.);
• The categories of Personal Data we process (identity, contact, technical, usage, marketing, complaints, etc.);
• How long we retain data and how we protect it;
• Your data protection rights (access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection, portability, consent withdrawal);
• Our approach to international data transfers and third-party processors.

10.3.2 Whenever cookies or similar technologies result in the processing of Personal Data, that processing is governed by and should be interpreted in light of our Privacy Policy. If there is any inconsistency between this Cookie Policy and the Privacy Policy in relation to Personal Data, the Privacy Policy prevails.

11. Retention of Cookie Data

11.1 General Retention Rules (Expiry per Cookie)

11.1.1 Each cookie has its own lifetime, defined either by:

• A fixed expiry date or max-age set when the cookie is created (persistent cookies); or
• The duration of your browser session (session cookies, deleted when you close the browser).

11.1.2 We aim to use the shortest retention period that’s reasonably necessary for the purpose of each cookie category, for example:

• Security cookies: only as long as needed to protect the Website;
• Analytics cookies: long enough to observe patterns and improve the site (typically months, not decades);
• Marketing/affiliate cookies: aligned with realistic attribution windows agreed with partners.

11.1.3 If you delete cookies manually in your browser, they will be removed earlier than their nominal expiry date.

11.2 Typical Lifetimes (Minutes, Session, Days, Months, Years)

11.2.1 While exact durations can change as providers update their tools, typical lifetimes for cookies used on Go Spin Casino are roughly:

• Session cookies
  • Live only until you close your browser.
  • Often used for temporary session state, basic navigation or short-lived tracking (e.g. some Clarity/analytics session cookies).
• Short-lived cookies (minutes to hours)
  • Some Cloudflare security cookies (e.g. __cf_bm) and similar may last 30 minutes to a few hours to analyse traffic and mitigate bots.
• Medium-term cookies (days to months)
  • Analytics session-grouping cookies like _clsk (Clarity) may last around 1 day.
  • Certain popup or marketing control cookies (e.g. some AWeber/Ninja Popups IDs) may last from a few days to a few months to avoid showing the same campaign too often.
• Longer-term persistent cookies (up to 1–2 years, sometimes slightly more)
  • Google Analytics / GA4 cookies such as _ga and _ga_* typically last up to 2 years to allow trend and cohort analysis over time.
  • Microsoft Clarity’s _clck typically lasts up to 1 year to recognise returning visits.
  • Some preference / functional cookies that remember your language or layout can also have lifetimes of several months up to a year.

11.2.2 For third-party cookies (Google, Microsoft, AWeber, Cloudflare, etc.), the exact retention is controlled by those providers and may be updated. Their latest policies will always prevail over the examples given here.

11.3 How Long Consent Records (e.g. cmplz_*) Are Kept

11.3.1 Our consent management platform, Complianz, sets several cmplz_* cookies to:

• Record that you’ve been shown the cookie banner;
• Store your category choices (functional, preferences, statistics, marketing);
• Keep track of which policy version you consented to.

11.3.2 These cookies are generally set with an expiry of up to 12 months, after which:

• They may expire naturally and you will be asked to confirm your preferences again; or
• We may trigger a fresh consent prompt sooner if there are material changes to our cookie usage or legal framework.

11.3.3 Separately, we may maintain internal logs of consent (for example, via Complianz or server-side records) as part of our legal obligation to demonstrate compliance with cookie and data protection laws. These records are kept only for as long as reasonably necessary for that purpose and in line with the retention principles described in our Privacy Policy.

12. Changes to This Cookie Policy
