Cookie Policy

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help pages function, remember preferences, and support basic analytics. brontidestudios-marketing.com uses a minimal set aligned with operating an informational affiliate site for UK adults.

2. Essential cookies

Essential cookies and local storage entries are required for core functionality such as remembering that you confirmed your age during the current browser session and whether you accepted or declined optional preference storage. Without these, repeated prompts would appear on every visit.

3. Preference storage

If you accept cookies via our banner, we may store a simple flag in localStorage indicating your choice so the banner does not reappear unnecessarily. If you decline, we store a rejection flag only. These values stay on your device and are not used for advertising profiles on this site.

4. Third-party cookies

When you follow outbound links to licensed operators or responsible-gambling organisations, those destinations may set their own cookies governed by their policies. brontidestudios-marketing.com does not embed third-party advertising trackers or social widgets that set cross-site cookies.

5. Managing cookies

You can clear or block cookies through your browser settings. Blocking essential storage may prevent age-verification and cookie banners from working as intended. For questions contact info@brontidestudios-marketing.com.

6. Cookie and storage inventory

The table below describes the main technologies used on brontidestudios-marketing.com. Names may vary slightly by browser because sessionStorage and localStorage keys are set by our scripts rather than traditional HTTP Set-Cookie headers.

age-verified (sessionStorage): Stores a flag when you confirm you are eighteen or older during the current browser session. Duration: until the tab or browser session ends. Purpose: avoid repeating the age gate on every page view. Type: strictly necessary for lawful presentation of gambling-related content to adults.

cookie-accepted / cookie-rejected (localStorage): Records whether you accepted or declined optional preference storage via the cookie banner. Duration: persistent until cleared. Purpose: remember your choice so the banner does not reappear unnecessarily. Type: preference / consent record.

We do not deploy analytics cookies, advertising pixels, or social-media plugins that track you across unrelated websites. Server-side access logs maintained by our hosting provider are governed by our Privacy Policy rather than this Cookie Policy.

7. Similar technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use local storage APIs available in modern browsers. These function like cookies but remain on your device until deleted. They are used only for the essential and preference purposes described above. We do not use fingerprinting techniques to identify devices beyond standard server logs.

8. Consent and UK PECR

Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), storing or accessing information on your device requires consent unless the storage is strictly necessary to provide a service you explicitly request. Age-verification session storage is treated as strictly necessary because the site cannot lawfully display gambling marketing to unverified visitors. Optional preference flags are stored only after you choose Accept on the banner; choosing Decline stores a rejection flag solely to honour your choice.

9. Third-party destinations

When you click outbound links to licensed operators, responsible-gambling charities, or regulators, those organisations may set their own cookies or use similar technologies under separate policies. brontidestudios-marketing.com does not control third-party storage. We recommend reviewing the cookie notices of any external site before continuing.

10. Browser controls

Major browsers allow you to block all cookies, block third-party cookies only, or delete stored data on exit. Instructions are available in your browser help menu. Blocking all storage may prevent core features such as remembering that you passed the age gate during a session. Clearing localStorage will reset cookie-banner preferences and you may be prompted again on your next visit.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or site functionality. Revised versions will be published on this page. Where changes materially affect how we use cookies or similar technologies, we will take reasonable steps to highlight the update, which may include resetting preference flags so you can make a fresh choice.
