What this policy covers
This Jackthepot cookie policy explains how we use small text files on your device when you visit our site in the UK. It sets out what cookies are, why websites rely on them and what control you keep over them. We wrote it for 18+ visitors who want a plain answer rather than legal padding. If you read only one section, read the one on managing your choices below.
A cookie is a short file that your browser stores when a page loads. It lets a site remember that you have been there before. Some cookies are needed for a page to work at all, while others record how a page is used. We describe both kinds here so you can decide what you are comfortable with.
We refer to Jackthepot as "we" and "our site" throughout. This page deals only with cookies and similar technologies. Other topics such as payments, bonuses or account rules have their own pages, which you can reach from the menu or the footer.
Types of cookies you may meet
Websites in general use a few broad groups of cookies. We describe the groups here so the table below makes sense. Which of them are active for you depends on the choices you make in your browser and in any notice we show you.
Essential cookies keep a page working, for example by remembering that you have moved from one screen to the next. Without them, basic features can fail. Preference cookies remember simple settings such as language or layout, so you do not have to repeat them on every visit.
Measurement cookies help a site owner understand how pages are used, for instance which pages are read most often. Advertising and tracking cookies, where a site uses them, record browsing habits across pages. You should always be offered a clear way to refuse that last group.
Cookie categories at a glance
| Category | Purpose | Can you refuse it? |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | Keeps pages loading and moving correctly | Not without affecting the page |
| Preferences | Remembers simple settings between visits | Yes, in your browser |
| Measurement | Shows how pages are used in general terms | Yes, in your browser |
| Advertising | Links browsing habits to offers or content | Yes, and it should always be optional |
How to manage or delete cookies
Every modern browser lets you see, block and delete cookies. The menu is usually found under settings, privacy or security. You can usually choose to block all cookies, block only those from other sites, or clear everything when you close the browser.
Deleting cookies removes the memory of past visits. The next time you open our site, it treats you as a new visitor. If you share a device, clearing cookies after each session is a sensible habit that protects your privacy.
If you use more than one browser or device, repeat your choices on each one. A setting made on your phone does not carry over to your laptop. Private browsing windows discard cookies when you close them, which is a quick way to visit without leaving a trail.
Steps to review your cookie settings
Open your browser settings
Find the privacy or security section in the menu of the browser you use to visit us. The wording differs between browsers, but the options are similar.
Choose what to allow
Decide whether to accept all cookies, only essential ones, or none. Stricter settings give you more privacy, though some features may behave differently.
Clear what is already stored
Delete existing cookies if you want to start fresh. This removes remembered settings from earlier visits and signs you out of most sites.
Check back from time to time
Browsers update and defaults change. Looking over your settings every few months keeps your choices as you intend them.
Your rights and our approach to privacy
In the UK, the rules on cookies require that you are told what is stored and given a real choice about non-essential ones. We aim to describe our practices honestly and to keep this page current. If we change how we use cookies in a meaningful way, we will update this text so that it matches what the site does.
Cookies are only one part of how personal information is handled. Our privacy policy describes the wider picture, and our terms set out the rules for using the site. We keep each topic on its own page so that none of them becomes hard to read.
Gambling should stay enjoyable and within your means. If you ever feel it is becoming a problem, our responsible gambling page lists tools and sources of support. This is for adults aged 18+ only.
