Cookie Policy for Bloodyslots Casino
This page lists every category of cookie we set on bloodyslots.uk.com, what each one does, and how you control it. You can withdraw or change your choices at any time, and rejecting most cookies will not stop you from playing.
What Cookies Actually Do
Small text files called cookies get stored by your browser whenever you visit bloodyslots.uk.com. Each one holds a name, a value and an expiry date, and it travels back to us, or to the third party that set it, with every request your browser makes.
Two broad types matter here. Session cookies vanish the moment you close your browser; persistent cookies stay on your device until they expire or you delete them. Neither can read files from your hard drive or install software. Their only job is to let our server recognise your browser and act on what it already knows about your visit.
How Bloodyslots Uses Cookies
Strictly necessary
Without strictly necessary cookies the site cannot function. They keep you logged in as you move between games, hold your cashier session together, and block fraudulent login attempts. We set these without asking for consent because nothing works without them.
Functional
Choices you have made get remembered here. Pick GBP as your currency, English as your language, or your preferred game filter, and a functional cookie carries that over to your next visit so you set it once rather than every time.
Analytics
Aggregated behaviour is what analytics cookies collect: which pages load slowly, where navigation stalls, which of our 6,500+ games get opened most. The data is pooled and cannot identify you personally. We use it to fix problems and to decide what to build next.
Marketing
Retargeting depends on marketing cookies. If you browsed our welcome offer of 200% up to £2,000 plus 450 free spins and left without registering, these cookies let our ads reach you again instead of showing them to people with no interest. Decline them and the bonus still applies when you sign up with the code BLOODY200.
Examples we set
The table below lists representative cookie names for each category, together with duration and how to switch each one off.
| Cookie name | Type | Purpose | Duration | Opt-out |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| bsl_sess | Strictly necessary | Keeps your session alive between page loads | Session | Cannot be switched off |
| bsl_auth | Strictly necessary | Verifies your identity after login | Session | Cannot be switched off |
| bsl_sec | Strictly necessary | Bot and fraud protection | Session | Cannot be switched off |
| bsl_lang | Functional | Remembers your language choice | 90 days | Banner or browser settings |
| bsl_pref | Functional | Stores currency and display preferences | 90 days | Banner or browser settings |
| _ga | Analytics | Distinguishes unique visitors | 365 days | Banner or browser settings |
| _gid | Analytics | Separates visitors per day | 30 days | Banner or browser settings |
| _fbp | Marketing | Retargeting and ad measurement | 180 days | Banner or browser settings |
Cookies From Third Parties
During checkout, our payment providers set their own cookies to screen transactions for fraud. If you deposit £20 with Visa Debit, PayPal or Skrill, those providers may place a cookie on your device as part of their security checks. We do not control these cookies, and their terms govern how they handle data.
Analytics partners such as Google Analytics measure aggregate traffic for us. The identifiers they use, like _ga, belong to them, and their own privacy policies explain how to opt out directly.
Ad networks we buy media from may set marketing cookies so that our promotions reach people who have shown interest in casino content rather than everyone. We cap this at retargeting and frequency control. We never sell, rent or trade your personal data to advertisers or anyone else.
Manage Your Cookie Preferences
Our cookie banner
On your first visit a banner appears before anything else loads. You get three choices: accept all cookies, reject everything except strictly necessary ones, or open a detailed panel where you switch functional, analytics and marketing categories on or off individually. Your choice is stored so the banner does not reappear. To change it later, use the Cookie settings link in our site footer, which reopens the same panel at any time.
Browser controls
Blocking cookies in your browser removes our banner from the equation entirely, so these settings take priority.
- Chrome: Settings, Privacy and security, Third-party cookies, then block or clear per site
- Safari: Settings (or Preferences), Privacy, then Manage Website Data to remove ours
- Firefox: Settings, Privacy and Security, Cookies and Site Data, then Manage Exceptions
- Edge: Settings, Cookies and site permissions, then block or allow bloodyslots.uk.com
What blocking changes
Switch off strictly necessary cookies and you will not be able to log in, deposit or play at all, because the session will break on every page. Functional cookies carry no risk to block; you simply reset your language and currency each visit. Analytics and marketing cookies can be refused with no effect on gameplay, deposits or withdrawals, only on how relevant the advertising you see elsewhere happens to be.
How Long We Keep Cookies
Nothing here lasts forever, and nothing is stored without a purpose attached to it.
- Strictly necessary cookies: session only, deleted the moment you close your browser
- Functional cookies: 90 days from your last visit, then they expire on their own
- Analytics cookies: 30 days for daily counters such as _gid, up to 365 days for long-term statistics such as _ga
- Marketing cookies: 180 days, refreshed each time one of our ads is served to you
Clearing cookies early
Your browser can delete all of these ahead of schedule through the same privacy settings described above. After clearing them, expect to log in again, reselect your language and currency, and see the consent banner once more, since a wiped device counts as a fresh visitor to us.
When We Update This Policy
Any change to the cookies we set gets announced in the consent banner before it takes effect, and registered players receive an email explaining what changed and why. This page always reflects the current state, so compare it against any notice you remember from an earlier visit.
Questions about a specific cookie, a duration or your consent record can go to our support team at [email protected], which is staffed 24 hours a day, every day.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to accept cookies to play at Bloodyslots Casino?
Only the strictly necessary ones. Reject every other category in the banner and you can still register, deposit, claim the welcome bonus and withdraw as normal.
Will refusing marketing cookies cost me my bonuses?
No. The 200% welcome bonus up to £2,000 plus 450 free spins with code BLOODY200, the weekly 15% cashback and every other promotion stay available to you regardless of your cookie choices.
How do I reopen the cookie banner after dismissing it?
Use the Cookie settings link in the site footer. It reopens the same consent panel with all category switches. Clearing your cookies for our domain also brings the banner back on your next visit.
Do cookies share my gambling history with advertisers?
No. Marketing cookies are limited to retargeting and ad frequency, and we do not sell or rent your personal data to any third party. Payment and analytics partners process data only under their own published privacy terms.
What happens if I delete cookies in the middle of a session?
You will be logged out immediately and your stored preferences will reset. Deposits and withdrawals already completed are unaffected, since those records sit in your account, not in your browser.
