Cookie Policy

celtic-chance.com uses cookies and similar technologies to provide and improve our website. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies we use, why we use them, and how you can control them. We recommend that you read this policy together with our Privacy Policy.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, tablet, or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to the owners of the site. Cookies can be "first-party" (set by the site you are visiting) or "third-party" (set by another domain, such as an advertiser or analytics provider). Cookies can also be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (they remain until they expire or you delete them).

Similar technologies include local storage and session storage, which allow a website to store data in your browser. Unlike cookies, this data is not automatically sent to the server with each request, but it can be read by JavaScript on the site. We use session storage and local storage for essential site functionality as described below.

What We Use

We use only essential cookies and browser storage that are necessary for the operation of our site. We do not use third-party advertising cookies, marketing cookies, or analytics cookies that track you across other websites.

Specifically, we use session storage to remember that you have confirmed you are 18 years of age or over. This is shown via our age verification modal when you first visit the site. The session storage value lasts only for your current browsing session; when you close all tabs or windows of your browser, it is cleared. This means that when you return to our site in a new session, you may be asked to confirm your age again. We do this to help ensure that users are reminded of the age restriction and to support responsible gambling messaging.

We use local storage to remember your cookie consent choice. When you click "Accept" or "Reject" on our cookie banner, we store your choice so that we do not show the banner again on subsequent visits. This preference persists until you clear your browser data or change your choice. Without this, we would not be able to honour your preference and would show the banner on every page load.

Why We Use Them

These uses are necessary for the legitimate operation of our website. Age verification and cookie consent are part of our commitment to responsible practice and compliance with expectations for sites that link to gambling content. We do not use cookies or storage for profiling, advertising, or tracking purposes.

Third-Party Cookies

When you click on a link from our site to an external website (such as an online casino), that third-party site may set its own cookies and use its own tracking technologies. We have no control over those cookies. If you visit a third-party site, we encourage you to read that site's cookie and privacy policies. We are not responsible for the use of cookies or other technologies by third parties.

How to Control Cookies

You can control and delete cookies and similar data through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies, delete existing cookies, or be notified when a cookie is set. The method varies by browser; you can usually find instructions in your browser's help section or settings menu. Please note that if you block or delete the cookies and storage we use for age verification and cookie consent, our site may not function as intended: for example, the age verification modal may appear on every page, and the cookie banner may be shown again on each visit.

You can also clear all site data for celtic-chance.com from your browser. This will remove any stored preferences and you will need to confirm your age and cookie choice again if you revisit the site.

Updates

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or in applicable law. We will post the updated policy on this page and indicate the date of the last change. Your continued use of the site after any update constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy. We recommend that you check this page periodically.

Contact

If you have questions about our use of cookies or this policy, please contact us at info@celtic-chance.com. We will respond to reasonable enquiries as soon as practicable.
