This Cookie Policy explains how CasinoLuck.com uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit the site. It describes what cookies are, which cookies are deployed, the purpose of each category, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.
This document references the regulatory framework of Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland (GRAI). Where applicable, the named regulator sets the standards for player protection, fair gaming, and operator conduct.
I have not conducted a funded testing session for this content. The information below is drawn from regulatory frameworks, legal requirements, and operator-published documentation. Funded testing is pending.
1. What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit. Cookies enable the site to recognise your device on subsequent visits, remember your preferences, and support the technical operation and performance measurement of the site. Some cookies are essential for the site to function, while others serve analytics, functional, or advertising purposes.
2. Legal framework
The use of cookies and similar tracking technologies on CasinoLuck.com is governed by the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2011 (S.I. No. 336 of 2011), as amended, which implement the EU ePrivacy Directive in Irish law, and by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) as transposed by the Data Protection Act 2018. Under this framework, consent is required for the placement of non-essential cookies on your device.
3. Categories of cookies used
3.1 Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to operate. They enable core functions such as page navigation, security, and access to secure areas. The site cannot function properly without these cookies. They do not store any personally identifiable information. Examples include session cookies that maintain your browsing session and security cookies that support the Cloudflare content delivery network.
3.2 Analytics cookies
Analytics cookies collect aggregated, anonymous information about how visitors interact with the site. This includes the number of visitors, pages viewed, traffic sources, and time spent on each page. Analytics data is used to understand site performance, identify content that visitors find useful, and improve the overall user experience. CasinoLuck.com uses privacy-focused analytics tools configured to anonymise IP addresses and to respect Do Not Track signals where technically feasible.
3.3 Functional cookies
Functional cookies enable the site to remember choices you make, such as your cookie consent preferences, display settings, and country or language selections. These cookies enhance usability but are not strictly necessary for the site to operate. Disabling them may result in a less personalised browsing experience.
3.4 Advertising and tracking cookies
CasinoLuck.com does not deploy advertising or third-party tracking cookies for the purpose of behavioural advertising or cross-site tracking. Affiliate tracking links are structured through server-side redirects and first-party URL parameters rather than third-party tracking cookies. If an operator you visit after clicking an affiliate link places advertising cookies, those are governed by that operator’s own cookie policy.
4. Specific cookies deployed
The following table lists the principal cookies used on CasinoLuck.com, their category, provider, purpose, and approximate retention period.
| Cookie | Provider | Category | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| __cf_bm | Cloudflare | Strictly necessary | Bot management and security | 30 minutes |
| cookie_consent | CasinoLuck.com | Functional | Stores cookie consent preference | 12 months |
| _ga / _ga_* | Google Analytics | Analytics | Distinguishes visitors and sessions | 2 years / 2 years |
| _gid | Google Analytics | Analytics | Distinguishes visitors within a 24-hour period | 24 hours |
| _gat | Google Analytics | Analytics | Throttles request rate | 1 minute |
The list above represents cookies currently deployed. The site may add or remove cookies as its infrastructure and analytics configuration evolves. Any material addition of cookie types that are not strictly necessary will be accompanied by an update to the consent mechanism.
5. Third-party cookies
Some cookies on this site are set by third-party services that CasinoLuck.com uses to deliver functionality. Cloudflare sets the __cf_bm cookie as part of its content delivery and security services. Google Analytics sets the _ga, _gid, and _gat cookies to provide aggregated site analytics. CasinoLuck.com has configured Google Analytics to anonymise IP addresses and has disabled data sharing with Google for advertising purposes.
These third-party providers have their own privacy and cookie policies. CasinoLuck.com does not control how third parties use the data they collect through cookies set on this site, but selects providers on the basis of their privacy commitments and compliance with applicable data protection law.
6. Managing and disabling cookies
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can set your browser to block all cookies, delete existing cookies, or alert you when a cookie is being set. The method for managing cookies varies by browser. Refer to your browser’s help section for specific instructions.
Blocking all cookies may affect the functionality and performance of CasinoLuck.com and other websites you visit. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled through the site’s consent mechanism because the site requires them to operate. Non-essential cookies are deployed only after you have provided consent through the cookie consent banner.
7. Consent mechanism
When you first visit CasinoLuck.com, a cookie consent banner is displayed. This banner gives you the option to accept all non-essential cookies, reject all non-essential cookies, or manage your preferences by category. Strictly necessary cookies are deployed regardless of consent because the site requires them to function. Your consent preference is stored in a functional cookie and is respected on subsequent visits. You can change your preference at any time by clearing your browser cookies or using the cookie settings link in the site footer.
8. Changes to this Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy is reviewed periodically. Updates may reflect changes in the cookies deployed, the third-party services used, or the applicable legal and regulatory framework. The most recent revision date is indicated at the foot of this page.
9. Further information
For more information about how personal data collected through cookies is processed, see the Privacy Policy. For questions about this Cookie Policy, contact OnTheDotMedia Ltd via the details published on the Contact page.
10. Cookie duration and classification review
Cookie retention periods are reviewed periodically to ensure they remain proportionate to the purpose for which each cookie is deployed. Strictly necessary cookies are retained only for the duration required to perform their function. Analytics cookies are subject to the retention periods specified in section 4 and are automatically deleted upon expiry. The classification of cookies as strictly necessary, functional, or analytics is reviewed whenever a new cookie is introduced or an existing cookie’s purpose changes materially.
11. Regulatory guidance
This Cookie Policy reflects the guidance published by the Data Protection Commission (DPC) on the use of cookies and similar technologies. The DPC’s guidance confirms that consent for non-essential cookies must meet the GDPR standard: it must be freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous, expressed through a clear affirmative action. Pre-ticked boxes, inactivity, and continued browsing do not constitute valid consent. The DPC’s full guidance note on cookies and tracking technologies is available at dataprotection.ie.
12. Do Not Track signals
The Do Not Track (DNT) browser setting is a signal that your browser can send to websites indicating that you do not wish to be tracked. CasinoLuck.com respects DNT signals where technically feasible. However, because there is no universally adopted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals, this site does not currently alter its data collection and use practices in response to a DNT signal. Where analytics cookies are concerned, the site’s default configuration anonymises IP addresses and minimises data collection regardless of DNT status.
Google Analytics is configured on this site with IP anonymisation enabled. This means that Google truncates the IP address of visitors within European Union and European Economic Area member states before storing it, so that the full IP address is never written to disk in Google’s servers. Google Analytics data is retained for a period of 26 months, after which it is automatically deleted. CasinoLuck.com has also disabled the Google Analytics advertising features, meaning that the site does not use Google Analytics data for remarketing, advertising reporting, or demographic and interest reporting.
If you have any questions about the specific cookies deployed on CasinoLuck.com that are not answered by this policy, contact OnTheDotMedia Ltd using the details published on the Contact page. You can also use your browser developer tools to inspect the cookies set by this site during your current browsing session.
