Cookies Policy | Sky Casino

About cookies

Cookies are small text files or similar data files that may be placed on your computer, tablet, mobile phone or other device when you visit a website. They allow a website to recognise a device and remember certain information about a visit. Cookies do not normally contain information that directly identifies you by name, although information collected through cookies may sometimes be linked with account or other personal information.

Sky Casino may also use technologies that work in a similar way to cookies. These may include pixels, tags, scripts, local storage and device-related identifiers. In this policy, the word cookies is used to refer to cookies and similar technologies unless the context indicates otherwise.

Cookies can help a website function correctly, remember preferences, protect accounts and understand how visitors use its pages. Some cookies are placed directly by Sky Casino, while others may be placed by service providers that support website operation, security, analytics or other approved functions.

The use of cookies does not change the importance of responsible gambling. Cookies may support the operation of the website, but they are not a substitute for account controls, safer gambling tools, identity checks or other measures that may apply to gambling services.

How Sky Casino may use cookies

The cookies used on the website may vary depending on the page you visit, the device or browser you use, your account status and the settings you select. Sky Casino may use cookies for the following general purposes:

To enable core website functions, including page navigation, sign-in processes and access to secure areas.
To remember choices such as language, display preferences, consent settings and other selections made during a visit.
To support the security of the website, accounts and online sessions, including detecting unusual activity or attempts to misuse services.
To maintain session information so that pages and features work as intended while you move through the website.
To understand how visitors use the website, including which pages are viewed, how pages are reached and whether features are working properly.
To identify technical problems, monitor performance and help improve website design, content and usability.
To support communications, promotional activity or advertising where permitted and where the relevant settings or permissions apply.
To measure the effectiveness of marketing activity without necessarily identifying an individual directly.
To meet legal, regulatory, security and operational requirements connected with the website and online services.

Some cookies may be necessary for the website to operate. If these cookies are blocked, certain pages, account functions or security features may not work correctly. Other cookies may be optional and can be controlled through available consent tools or your browser settings.

Types of cookies

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are required for essential website functions. They may support account access, secure sessions, fraud prevention, navigation, load balancing and the delivery of pages or features. Because they are necessary for the website to function, they may remain active even when optional cookies are declined.

Functional cookies

Functional cookies allow the website to remember information you have selected or entered. For example, they may remember preferences, settings or previous choices. If these cookies are disabled, the website may still be available, but some convenience features may not work as expected.

Analytics and performance cookies

Analytics cookies help Sky Casino understand general patterns of website use. Information may include the pages visited, approximate time spent on a page, the type of device used, browser information and interactions with website features. This information can be used in aggregated or combined form to improve performance, content and user experience.

Advertising and marketing cookies

Where used and permitted, advertising or marketing cookies may help measure campaigns, limit repeated advertisements, understand general interests and deliver more relevant communications. These cookies may be operated by Sky Casino or by approved third-party providers. They may use identifiers associated with a browser or device rather than directly identifying you.

Third-party cookies

Some services used on the website may be provided by third parties. Those providers may use their own cookies or similar technologies in accordance with their own privacy information. Third-party services may support analytics, security, payment-related functions, content delivery, communications or other website operations. Sky Casino does not control all third-party technologies, so you should review the relevant provider information where appropriate.

Cookie duration and your choices

Cookies may be session cookies or persistent cookies. Session cookies are generally removed when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until they are deleted. The length of time may depend on the purpose of the cookie and the settings applied by Sky Casino or an approved service provider.

When you first visit the website, you may be shown a cookie notice or consent tool. This tool may allow you to accept optional cookies, reject optional cookies or manage categories of cookies. Your choices may be stored so that you are not asked to make the same selection each time you visit. You can change your choices later if the website provides a cookie settings option.

You can also control cookies through your browser. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, block or restrict cookies. You may be able to set your browser to notify you before a cookie is stored or to block cookies from particular websites. Browser controls differ between browsers and devices, so you should check the settings or help information for the software you use.

If you disable or delete cookies, some website functions may be unavailable, may require you to enter information again or may not operate properly. Blocking cookies may also affect security features, account access, saved preferences and the quality of your experience. Necessary cookies may not be removable through the website consent tool, although some may be managed through browser settings.

Opting out of advertising cookies does not necessarily mean that you will see no advertising. It may mean that advertising is less relevant or that you continue to receive general communications. Similarly, changing cookie settings does not automatically delete information that may already have been collected or stored under another lawful basis.

Privacy, security and policy updates

Information collected through cookies may be handled in accordance with the Sky Casino Privacy Policy. Depending on the purpose and circumstances, information may be used for website operation, account administration, security, analytics, service improvement, compliance and other purposes described in that policy. Sky Casino may combine cookie information with information obtained from your account, device, browser or use of the website where permitted and appropriate.

Sky Casino takes reasonable steps to protect information handled through its website. However, no online service, website or transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should use appropriate security practices, including keeping your device and browser updated, protecting your sign-in details and avoiding access through insecure or shared devices where possible.

This Cookies Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes to the website, technology, service providers, legal requirements or privacy practices. The updated version will apply from the date it is made available on the website, unless a different effective date is stated. You should review this page occasionally to remain informed about how cookies are used.

If you have questions about this Cookies Policy or how cookies are used on the website, please use the available support or contact options provided on the Sky Casino website. Do not include sensitive account, payment or identity information unless it is specifically requested through an approved secure channel.

By continuing to use the website after reviewing the applicable cookie notice and settings, you acknowledge that cookies may be used in accordance with this policy and your selected preferences. Your use of the website remains subject to the applicable terms, privacy information and responsible gambling requirements.
