Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Gold Ahoy Casino uses cookies and similar technologies on our website (the “Site”). It describes what cookies are, why we use them, the types of cookies we may set (and that our partners may set), and how you can control your choices through browser settings and consent tools.

By using the Site, you may allow cookies to be placed on your device, depending on your settings and where required, your consent. If you do not agree with certain cookies, you can adjust your preferences at any time as described below.

Cookies Explained in Plain English

Cookies are small text files stored on your computer, phone, or tablet when you visit a website. They help the Site recognize your device, remember certain information (like your preferences), and support features such as logging in securely.

Some cookies last only while your browser is open (session cookies). Others remain on your device until they expire or you delete them (persistent cookies).

Why We Use Cookies - Better Speed, Stronger Security, Smoother Play

Cookies help us operate the Site effectively and safely. Depending on how you use the Site, cookies may be used to:

• Keep the Site running correctly, including core navigation and page loading
• Protect accounts and reduce fraud by supporting security checks and suspicious-activity detection
• Remember choices you make, such as language, region, or display preferences
• Understand which pages and features are working well (and which need improvement)
• Measure performance and diagnose errors so we can fix issues faster
• Support marketing and promotions where permitted, including measuring campaign effectiveness

The Cookie Types You May See on Our Site

Different cookies serve different purposes. We group them into categories for clarity.

Essential Cookies - Non-Negotiable for Site Operation

Essential cookies are required for the Site to function. They support features like secure account access, session management, and basic Site stability. Without these cookies, certain parts of the Site may not work, and you may not be able to use key features.

Because they’re necessary for operation, essential cookies are generally set automatically and are not disabled through standard cookie preference tools (though you can still block them in your browser, which may break functionality).

Functional Cookies - Remember Your Settings

Functional cookies help the Site remember your preferences and selections so you don’t have to re-enter them each visit. For example, these cookies can store language choices or other customization settings that make the experience more convenient.

If you disable functional cookies, the Site will still work, but it may not remember your preferences.

Performance and Analytics Cookies - Improve What Matters

Performance cookies (including analytics) help us understand how visitors use the Site - such as which pages are visited most, how users move through the Site, and whether errors occur. This information is typically aggregated and used to improve speed, reliability, and content.

If you disable analytics cookies, we’ll have less insight into what’s working best, which can slow down improvements over time, but it will not prevent you from using core Site features.

Marketing Cookies - Relevant Promotions and Measurement

Marketing cookies may be used to help deliver promotions that are more relevant to you and to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. These cookies can also limit how often you see certain messages and help us understand what brought you to the Site.

If you disable marketing cookies, you may still see promotions, but they may be less tailored, and we may have less accurate campaign reporting.

Third-Party Cookies and Services

Some cookies may be set by third parties that provide services to us, such as analytics tools, security services, payment processing support, or advertising measurement partners. These third parties may use cookies or similar technologies under their own policies.

Where applicable, you can control third-party cookies through your cookie preference settings, your browser controls, or the third party’s own opt-out options.

Your Choices: How to Manage, Disable, or Delete Cookies

You control cookies in two main ways:

First, through any cookie consent or preference tool available on the Site (where required by law). You can adjust categories like functional, analytics, or marketing at any time.

Second, through your browser settings. Most browsers let you:

• View cookies stored on your device
• Delete existing cookies
• Block all cookies or block cookies from specific sites
• Set rules for third-party cookies

If you delete cookies, you may need to re-enter certain information the next time you visit. If you block cookies entirely, parts of the Site may not function properly, including sign-in, security checks, and preference saving.

How Cookie Settings Can Change Your Experience

Cookie preferences directly affect how the Site behaves. For example:

• Blocking essential cookies may prevent secure login or disrupt account features.
• Blocking functional cookies may reset your selections each visit.
• Blocking analytics cookies reduces our ability to detect issues and improve performance.
• Blocking marketing cookies can reduce personalization and limit campaign measurement.

Consent and Legal Basis for Using Cookies

Where required, we request your consent before placing non-essential cookies (such as certain analytics or marketing cookies). In other situations, we may rely on legitimate interests to use cookies that support Site security, fraud prevention, and service reliability - always balanced against your rights and expectations.

You can withdraw consent for non-essential cookies at any time by changing your cookie preferences and/or updating your browser settings.

Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or how we operate the Site. When we make updates, we will revise the effective date by posting the updated version on this page. Continued use of the Site after updates means your settings and choices will apply going forward.
