Our Cookie Policy, in plain English
This page spells out every cookie dragonslots-pokies.org sets in your browser, why it exists, how long it stays and how you switch it off. We keep it short and jargon-free.
What Cookies Actually Are
A cookie is a small text file a website saves on your device when you visit. Think of it as a sticky note: it lets our servers recognise you when you come back, remember your choices and keep track of things like whether you are logged in.
We set cookies on dragonslots-pokies.org and in our emails. Alongside classic browser cookies we also use pixels and local storage, which do a similar job. Throughout this page we lump them all together under the word cookies.
The Cookies We Use
Strictly necessary
These keep the site working. Without them you cannot log in, stay logged in between pages, or complete a deposit. Session cookies hold your active login, authentication cookies keep it across visits, and security cookies protect against fraud and session hijacking. They fire the moment you land on our pages and cannot be switched off from the banner.
| Cookie type | Purpose | Example names | Duration | Opt-out |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Session | Keeps you logged in during play | DS_SESSION, PHPSESSID | Session (until browser closes) | None, required for login |
| Authentication | Remembers you on return visits | DS_TOKEN, remember_me | 30 days | Via browser settings |
| Security | Fraud and bot protection | DS_SEC, __cf_bm | 90 days | None, required for safety |
Functional
Functional cookies remember your choices. The language you picked (we support English, Français, Deutsch and Español), your currency display, whether you collapsed a game category and your sound settings all persist through them.
Analytics
Analytics cookies show us, in aggregate, how you move through the site: which pages you open, where you drop off, how long a session runs. We read the numbers to fix slow pages and improve navigation. The data is aggregated and never tied to your name.
Marketing
Marketing cookies help us show you relevant promotions, such as the 225% welcome offer or Friday reload bonus, on other sites after you leave ours. If you opt out, you will still see our ads, just less targeted ones.
Third Parties We Allow
Some cookies on our pages belong to other companies, not us. We permit three categories: analytics providers who measure traffic for us, advertising networks who run our retargeting campaigns, and payment providers whose cookies secure transactions when you deposit or withdraw.
Third-party cookies only load after you accept them in our banner (except payment security cookies during a transaction). We do not sell your data, and each third party processes it under its own privacy policy, which we link to in the banner.
| Third-party category | What it does | Loaded when |
|---|---|---|
| Analytics providers | Aggregate traffic and performance reporting | After consent |
| Ad networks | Retargeting and campaign measurement | After consent |
| Payment providers | Transaction security and fraud checks | During deposits and withdrawals |
Controlling Your Preferences
Our cookie banner
On your first visit a banner appears at the bottom of the screen. Hit Accept all, or open Cookie settings to tick categories on and off individually. You can reopen the settings any time from the link in the footer, and withdrawing consent takes effect immediately.
In your browser
Blocking cookies at browser level stops us reading your banner choices, so you would need to set them again. Here is where the controls live in the four most common browsers.
- Chrome: Settings, Privacy and security, Third-party cookies (or Cookies and site data on mobile).
- Safari: Settings (or Preferences), Privacy, Manage Website Data.
- Firefox: Settings, Privacy and Security, Cookies and Site Data.
- Edge: Settings, Cookies and site permissions, Manage and delete cookies.
If you block everything
Refuse all cookies and the site degrades fast. Strictly necessary ones keep the login and cashier working, so we recommend leaving that category on. Block the rest and you get a working casino with generic ads and no remembered preferences. Block everything and you may not be able to log in or deposit at all.
How Long We Keep Them
Every cookie has an expiry baked in. Session cookies vanish the moment you close your browser; the rest persist for a fixed term, after which your browser deletes them automatically. Nothing we set lasts longer than 365 days.
| Category | Lifetime | Refreshed on |
|---|---|---|
| Session cookies | Until you close your browser | Every visit |
| Authentication | 30 days | When you log in again |
| Security | 90 days | Automatically during sessions |
| Functional | 90 days | When you change a setting |
| Analytics | 365 days | On each visit with consent |
| Marketing | 90 days | On each ad interaction |
When We Change This Policy
If we add a new cookie category or a new third party, we update this page and push a notice through our cookie banner for 14 days so you can review and change your consent. Material changes that affect strictly necessary cookies also go out by email to verified accounts. The version you are reading now was last updated in 2026.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to accept cookies to play at Dragonslots Casino?
Only strictly necessary ones. Refuse the analytics and marketing categories in the banner and the games, cashier and login all keep working.
What happens to my login if I clear cookies?
You are logged out on that device. Log back in and the authentication cookie is set again with a fresh 30-day lifetime.
Can I change my cookie settings later?
Yes. Open the Cookie settings link in the footer at any time; withdrawing consent takes effect straight away.
Do you use cookies to target me with gambling ads?
Marketing cookies power retargeting of offers like our promotions and tournaments, but only after you accept that category in the banner.
Are cookies a security risk?
No. A cookie cannot read your files or install software. Ours carry a random session ID or a preference flag, never your password or card details.
