This cookie policy explains how brushandbottle.co.uk uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our independent information portal about Slotlair Casino. We've written this in plain terms so you know exactly what happens when you browse our pages, what gets stored on your device, and how you can control it all.
What a cookie actually is
A cookie is a small text file – typically just a few kilobytes – that a website places on your device when you visit. It helps the site remember things about your session: whether you've accepted a banner, which pages you looked at, or settings you chose. Cookies don't run programs, can't carry viruses, and can't access other files on your phone or computer. They're passive data, readable only by the site that set them (or, in some cases, by third-party services that site uses).
Which cookies brushandbottle.co.uk sets
We use a small number of cookies to keep the portal running smoothly and to understand how visitors navigate our content. Here's what we store and why:
| Category | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Necessary | Session management, consent banner state | Session / 1 year |
| Analytics | Anonymous visit counts, page popularity, referral sources | Up to 2 years |
| Preference | Language choice, display settings | 1 year |
Necessary cookies keep the site functional – they remember that you've dismissed the cookie notice, for instance, so it doesn't reappear on every page load. We don't ask permission for these because the portal wouldn't work properly without them.
Analytics cookies tell us which pages get the most traffic, how long people stay, and where visitors arrive from. We use this data in aggregate – it shows patterns across hundreds of sessions, not your individual journey – to improve our content structure and keep the guides relevant. You can decline these through the banner when you first land on the site.
Preference cookies store choices you make about how the site behaves: they're optional and exist purely for convenience.
Third-party scripts we rely on
Like most modern websites, brushandbottle.co.uk embeds a handful of third-party tools – chiefly for analytics and, where applicable, for advertising measurement. These services may set their own cookies, governed by their own policies rather than ours. The ones you're likely to encounter include:
- Google Analytics – tracks anonymous visit data; you can opt out at any time via your browser settings or through Google's own opt-out tool.
- Advertising partners – if you arrived via a paid link, a cookie may record that referral for attribution purposes. These don't identify you personally but do tie a click to a session.
We don't control what these third parties do with the data they collect, though we choose partners with transparent privacy policies and limit the scope of what we share. Check their documentation if you want the full picture – we've no access to the individual records they keep.
Turning cookies off in your browser
Every modern browser lets you block or delete cookies. The exact steps vary slightly, but the principle is the same across all of them. Here's where to look:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions
You can delete existing cookies, block all future ones, or set exceptions site by site. Blocking cookies entirely may break parts of brushandbottle.co.uk – the consent banner will reappear, for instance, and any preferences you set won't stick – but the core content remains readable. Good to know: declining analytics cookies through our banner is a lighter touch than a blanket block and keeps the site working as designed.
When this policy changes
We'll update this document whenever we add a new tool, retire an old one, or materially change how we handle visitor data. The date below reflects the last revision. If the changes are significant – say, a switch to a different analytics provider – we'll flag it on the homepage for a few days so regular visitors notice. You're always welcome to check back here if you're curious what's shifted.
If you've got questions about cookies, tracking, or anything else on this page, write to the editorial team at [email protected] – we'll answer within 48 hours.
