Trips Casino Cookie Policy

What actually is a cookie?

A cookie is a tiny text file that the site asks your browser to store. The next time you visit, the browser sends the file back so Trips Casino can recognise you, keep you logged in, or remember a setting like your preferred game lobby tab. Cookies do not run code on your device and they cannot read other files on your machine. Similar tools include local storage and session storage, which sit alongside cookies in every modern browser and behave in much the same way for our purposes. Where this policy says cookie, treat it as shorthand for the wider family of small browser side storage techniques used to keep a website usable from one page to the next.

The four buckets below are the four kinds of cookie work Trips Casino does. Each bucket has a clear purpose, a defined lifetime and an on or off switch that lives in the banner that appears on your first visit and is always available again from the footer.

What are the four buckets we use?

Strictly necessary. Required for the site to function. Without them you cannot log in, the cashier will not work, the lobby will not load your favourite games and the responsible gaming tools cannot save your settings. These are always on and cannot be switched off because the site simply does not run without them. They expire when you log out or, in some cases, at the end of your browser session.

Functional. Remember preferences like display language, the games you have favourited, your preferred theme and which promotions you have already dismissed. Turning these off makes the site less personal, because you will see the same banners and intro flows on every visit, but does not break anything important. They typically last for up to twelve months.

Analytics. Help us understand how the site is used in aggregate so we can fix slow pages, remove confusing flows, find broken links and improve the lobby. Data is sampled, pseudonymised and never shared with advertisers. Turning these off is fine; the site keeps working exactly the same, we just learn less about how to improve it.

Marketing. Allow Trips Casino to show you offers relevant to the games you actually play, to suppress offers you have already claimed, and to measure whether a campaign was worth running. Turning these off means you may see the same generic banners more often and may receive offers that are less relevant to your style of play.

What about cookies set by other companies?

Some tags belong to partners rather than to us. Payment processors set cookies during the checkout flow to detect fraud and to keep your deposit session alive while you authenticate with your bank or wallet provider. Game suppliers set cookies when you launch one of their titles to keep your game session connected and to remember things like sound preferences. Customer support tools set cookies to keep your chat history visible if you reload the page mid conversation. Each of those partners runs under its own privacy policy and we keep the active list of third party tags available on request to support@tripscasino.live.

We do not allow third party advertising networks to drop cookies on the site for the purpose of building cross site behavioural profiles. The marketing bucket above only powers offers that are run by Trips Casino itself.

How can you change your preferences later?

The cookie banner appears the first time you visit and lets you accept all, reject optional or customise each of the four buckets above one at a time. You can change your choice at any time using the cookie settings link in the footer, and you can clear cookies in your browser settings to start fresh. Clearing strictly necessary cookies will log you out and reset some preferences, so expect to enter your password again on the next visit. Modern browsers also let you block cookies entirely, although doing so will break the site to the point of being unusable, in the same way that disabling JavaScript would.

Cookies are one piece of a wider privacy picture. Our privacy policy explains the rest, including the data we collect server side, the rights you have over it, and how long it is retained after you close an account.

How long do these cookies actually live?

Lifetime varies by purpose. Session cookies clear the moment you close the browser tab. Login cookies expire on logout or after a long idle period, whichever comes first, so a forgotten browser window does not stay authenticated forever. Functional cookies that remember a preference like favourite games or display settings sit at around twelve months so the experience stays consistent across regular visits without becoming stale. Analytics and marketing cookies are capped at twenty four months in total, after which they are dropped and the data they powered rolls into aggregated form. We do not use any cookie with a lifetime longer than twenty four months.

You can shorten any of those windows yourself by clearing cookies from the browser settings whenever you like. Doing so will log you out, reset your stored preferences and reset the analytics view of your visit, but the site will continue to work exactly as designed.

Do cookies talk to mobile apps?

Trips Casino runs as a progressive web experience rather than as a native mobile app. That means everything described on this page applies whether you are visiting from a desktop browser, a tablet or a phone. The same buckets, the same on and off switches, and the same lifetimes. There is no separate mobile tracking framework, no SDK lurking in the background and no second set of permissions to manage. If you ever add Trips Casino to your home screen, the saved icon is a shortcut into the same web experience and obeys the same cookie preferences you set in the banner.
