Cookie Policy
This cookie policy explains how nongstopcasinos.com uses cookies and similar technologies on this website. It is published alongside the main privacy policy and should be read in conjunction with it.
What a cookie is
A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your device when you visit it. The cookie is read by your browser on subsequent visits, which allows the website to recognise the device, remember preferences and, in some cases, collect data about how the site is used. Similar technologies — local storage entries, pixel tags, server-side identifiers — perform comparable functions and are treated under this policy in the same way as cookies.
Why nongstopcasinos.com uses cookies
nongstopcasinos.com is an editorial publication. It does not host accounts, does not process payments and does not operate the kind of personalised feed that would require sustained tracking of an individual reader. The use of cookies on the site is therefore deliberately narrow. Cookies are used to keep the site working as intended, to record visitor consent itself, and, when consent has been given, to capture aggregated traffic data that helps the editorial team understand which articles are read and how the site is performing as a whole.
Categories of cookie used on this site
The first category is strictly necessary cookies. These cookies are essential to the basic operation of the site. They are used to remember whether you have given or refused consent through the cookie banner, to manage security tokens that protect the site against automated abuse, and to balance traffic between the servers that deliver the site. Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent under United Kingdom law, but their use is described here for transparency.
The second category is functional cookies. These are cookies that improve the reader experience without being essential to the site’s core operation. They may be used to remember the reader’s preferred font size or to remember whether the reader has dismissed a non-blocking notice such as a responsible-gambling reminder. Functional cookies are loaded only after consent has been given through the cookie banner and can be withdrawn at any time.
The third category is analytics cookies. These cookies, when used, allow the editorial team to see aggregated information about how the site is used: which articles are read, how long readers spend on a page, which pages they enter and leave from, and which broad geographic region they connect from. Where analytics cookies are used, the configuration is set to anonymise individual identifiers wherever the analytics platform permits. Analytics cookies are loaded only after consent has been given.
nongstopcasinos.com does not use advertising cookies, behavioural targeting cookies, social-media tracking pixels or third-party cookies set by ad networks. The site does not participate in real-time bidding ecosystems.
Third parties that may set cookies
The third parties that may set cookies through this website are limited to the technical infrastructure that supports the site. The hosting provider and the content delivery network may set strictly necessary cookies for load balancing and security. Where an analytics provider is used, it may set analytics cookies under consent. Each third party is bound by a written data-processing arrangement that restricts its use of the data.
How to control cookies
The cookie banner that appears on your first visit allows you to accept all non-essential cookies, refuse all non-essential cookies, or choose which categories you wish to allow. The choice is recorded in a strictly necessary cookie so that the banner does not reappear on every page.
You can revisit your choice at any time by using the cookie settings link in the footer of the site. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing that took place while consent was active.
You can also control cookies through your browser. Every modern browser provides settings that allow you to refuse or delete cookies and to be notified when a cookie is being set. Disabling all cookies will affect the operation of many websites, including this one; you may, for example, see the cookie banner on every visit because the choice cannot be remembered.
What happens if you refuse non-essential cookies
If you refuse non-essential cookies, the site will continue to work as an editorial publication. Articles will load normally and all editorial content will remain accessible. Some convenience features that rely on functional cookies may be unavailable, and aggregated analytics data about your visit will not be collected. The site will continue to set the strictly necessary cookies that are required for it to operate at all.
Retention of cookie data
Strictly necessary cookies expire when their purpose has been served — typically at the end of the browsing session, or after a defined period in the case of consent records. Functional cookies expire after a period set by the cookie itself, usually no longer than a few months. Analytics cookies are retained for the period configured in the analytics platform, which is set to the shortest practical interval.
Changes to this cookie policy
This cookie policy may be revised from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies used by the site, in the services that support it, or in applicable United Kingdom law. The effective date at the top of the page will be updated when changes are made. Material changes will be signalled through the cookie banner so that visitors are given the opportunity to review their consent choices.

Questions about this cookie policy can be addressed to the editorial team of nongstopcasinos.com through the channels listed on the privacy policy and about pages. Concerns relating to the use of cookies by this site can also be raised with the Information Commissioner’s Office, the United Kingdom supervisory authority for data protection.
