Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Sidepot Casino uses cookies and similar technologies on its website, including pages such as our Sidepot Casino review. It is designed to help you understand what cookies are, why they are used, and what choices you have.

By using the website, you agree to the use of cookies as described in this policy, except where applicable law requires us to ask for your consent first. We aim to keep this explanation clear, transparent, and easy to follow.

What Cookies Really Do

Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, phone, or tablet when you visit a website. They help the site recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit.

Cookies can remember practical details, such as your language settings, login status, and site preferences. They can also help website owners understand how visitors use the site, improve performance, prevent fraud, and deliver more relevant content or promotions.

Cookies do not usually identify you directly by name. However, in some cases, they may be linked to personal information, especially when combined with account details, IP addresses, or browsing behavior.

Why We Use Cookies

We use cookies to support the basic operation of the website and to improve your overall experience. Some cookies are necessary for pages to load properly, for account features to work, and for security systems to detect suspicious activity.

Other cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the site. This includes learning which pages are used most often, whether errors appear, how fast pages load, and what features need improvement.

Cookies may also be used to remember your settings, make navigation smoother, and show content that is more relevant to your interests. In some cases, cookies support marketing, affiliate tracking, and promotional measurement.

The Main Types of Cookies We May Use

Essential Cookies That Keep the Site Running

Essential cookies are required for the website to function properly. These cookies support core features like page navigation, account access, security checks, fraud prevention, and form submissions.

Without these cookies, parts of the website may not work as intended. Because they are necessary for the operation of the site, these cookies typically cannot be switched off through our cookie tools, although you may still be able to block them in your browser.

Functional Cookies That Remember Your Preferences

Functional cookies help the website remember choices you make. For example, they may store your preferred language, region, device settings, or other custom preferences to give you a more consistent experience on future visits.

These cookies are not always strictly necessary, but they make the site easier and more convenient to use. If you disable them, some personalized features may not be available or may not work properly.

Performance and Analytics Cookies That Help Us Improve

Performance cookies collect information about how users interact with the website. This may include which pages are visited, how long users stay on a page, whether users return, and whether any technical issues occur.

We use this information in an aggregated or de-identified way where possible to improve website speed, design, content, and usability. These cookies help us understand what is working and where adjustments are needed.

Marketing Cookies That Support Advertising and Measurement

Marketing cookies may be used to track browsing activity across this site and, in some cases, across other websites. They help measure the effectiveness of campaigns, limit how often you see certain ads, and make advertising more relevant.

These cookies may be set by us or by third-party partners, such as advertising networks, analytics providers, or affiliate platforms. If you choose not to allow marketing cookies, you may still see ads, but they may be less tailored to your interests.

First-Party and Third-Party Cookies Explained

Some cookies are first-party cookies, which means they are set directly by Sidepot Casino. These are generally used for site functionality, security, preferences, and internal analytics.

Other cookies are third-party cookies, which are set by external service providers that help us operate and improve the website. These providers may include analytics vendors, customer support tools, payment-related systems, fraud prevention tools, embedded media services, and marketing partners.

For example, third-party services may support live chat, usage analytics, payment interface performance, account authentication, or promotional attribution. When these third parties place cookies, their use of data may also be governed by their own privacy and cookie policies.

How Cookies Support Security and Account Protection

Cookies can play an important role in keeping your account and personal information secure. They may be used to maintain secure sessions, verify logins, detect repeated failed sign-in attempts, and identify unusual activity that could indicate abuse or fraud.

These measures are especially important on websites that offer account-based services, customer support, promotional features, or payment-related options such as Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, Visa, MasterCard, and bank transfer. Security cookies help us protect both the platform and its users.

How Cookies Improve Performance and User Experience

Cookies help us make the website faster, more stable, and easier to use. They can reduce the need to re-enter information, remember settings between visits, and support smooth movement between pages.

They also help us understand how people use key features, including account tools, support channels like chat and FAQ pages, and content related to games and promotions. That insight helps us refine page layouts, improve mobile compatibility, and fix issues before they affect more users.

Similar Technologies We May Use

In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies such as web beacons, pixels, tags, scripts, and local storage. These tools can perform comparable functions, such as recognizing a browser, measuring campaign performance, remembering preferences, or collecting analytics data.

For simplicity, this policy refers to all of these technologies as “cookies” unless a different term is needed.

Your Consent Choices and Control Options

Where required by law, we will ask for your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device. This usually happens through a cookie banner, consent manager, or similar tool when you first visit the site.

You can choose to accept all cookies, reject certain categories, or adjust your settings later if that option is available. Essential cookies may still be used because they are necessary for the site to operate securely and properly.

If you previously gave consent, you may be able to withdraw it at any time by updating your cookie preferences. Any changes usually apply going forward and do not affect prior processing already based on consent.

How to Disable or Delete Cookies in Your Browser

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can usually block all cookies, allow only certain types, delete stored cookies, or receive alerts before a cookie is placed.

The exact steps depend on the browser you use, but settings are commonly found in the Privacy, Security, or Preferences section. You may also be able to manage cookies separately on desktop and mobile devices.

If you disable or delete cookies, some parts of the website may not function correctly. You may need to re-enter preferences, sign in again, or experience reduced functionality in account areas, support features, or personalized content.

What Happens If You Refuse Cookies

Refusing non-essential cookies will not necessarily prevent you from using the website. However, it may limit certain features and reduce the quality of your experience.

For example, the site may not remember your settings, some pages may behave less smoothly, and analytics tools may not help us tailor improvements based on user behavior. If essential cookies are blocked at the browser level, account access, security verification, or page functionality may be affected.

How Long Cookies Stay on Your Device

Some cookies are session cookies, which means they are deleted automatically when you close your browser. These are often used for temporary functions such as maintaining your session while moving between pages.

Other cookies are persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them manually. These may be used to remember preferences, store consent choices, or support returning visits.

The retention period depends on the purpose of the cookie and the service provider involved. We aim to keep cookie durations reasonable and aligned with legitimate business and legal needs.

Data Collected Through Cookies

Depending on the type of cookie, the information collected may include your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, time spent on pages, clicks, and general location based on IP.

Where applicable, cookie data may also be associated with account-related details or customer support interactions. When this happens, the information is handled in line with our privacy practices and applicable laws.

Third-Party Services That May Set Cookies

We may work with third-party providers that support website operation, analytics, communications, payments, customer service, fraud detection, and advertising. These providers may place cookies or use similar technologies when you interact with the site or related services.

Examples can include analytics platforms, live chat software, payment processing interfaces, email delivery tools, marketing partners, and affiliate tracking vendors. Because these services are managed outside our direct control, their cookie practices may change from time to time.

We encourage users to review the privacy and cookie information of relevant third parties where appropriate.

Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in law, technology, business operations, or the way cookies are used on the website. When we make changes, we will post the revised version on this page and update the effective date if one is displayed.

If changes are significant, we may provide additional notice where required by law. Your continued use of the website after an update may indicate acceptance of the revised policy, subject to any consent requirements that still apply.

If you have questions about this Cookie Policy, how cookies are used, or how your information is handled, you can contact our support team through the website’s available help channels.

You may also reach out by email at support@sidespots.com. If you contact us about cookie preferences, privacy requests, or data-related concerns, please include enough detail for us to respond accurately and efficiently.

We want users to understand how these tools work, what choices are available, and how those choices may affect the website experience.
