Cookies and Tracking
This page covers the cookies and tracking tools on the Halifax Casino site. Some keep the site running; others are optional and run only if you allow them.
A. What cookies are
Cookies are tiny data files a site saves to your browser. They let it know your browser when you jump to another page or visit again on a later day, so you stay logged in and the lobby reopens where you stopped.
This page also applies to similar technologies that function in much the same way, for example pixels and local storage.
B. Analytics cookies
Analytics cookies tell us how well the site runs. They count visits, note the pages and games players open, and point out slow loads and technical faults so we can fix them. This data is only viewed as totals; we never track single players with it. They work only if you consent.
C. Managing or switching them off
On arrival, a pop-up banner asks whether to permit or block optional cookies. Update that choice whenever you want through the Cookie settings link in every page's footer.
Your browser also lets you delete cookies or block them. Blocking strictly necessary cookies can stop the login, cashier or games from working properly. Declining optional cookies never affects your account, your balance or your games.
D. Functional cookies
Functional cookies improve ease of use by remembering details such as:
- your language and display settings;
- recently played games in the lobby;
- messages you have already closed.
Turning them off means making those choices again on each visit.
E. Third-party cookies
Some cookies are set by partners rather than by us: the game studios behind our slots and live tables, cashier payment providers, verification services and analytics tools. Every partner's cookies fall under that partner's own privacy policy, and we only work with companies that respect your cookie choices.
F. Marketing cookies
Marketing cookies tell us which promotions and partner sites send players to Halifax Casino. They also stop the same ad appearing too often. They run only with your consent, which you can withdraw in cookie settings.
G. Strictly necessary cookies
Strictly necessary cookies are what keep the site working and protected. They take care of:
- your login session;
- security and fraud prevention;
- age, identity and geolocation checks;
- deposits and withdrawals in the cashier;
- saving your cookie choices.
Without them the site does not work, so they are always on and need no consent.
H. Changes
When we roll out new features or the rules shift, this page gets fresh text and a new date. Any change that touches optional cookies means we ask you to consent again. Questions? Email [email protected]. See our Privacy Policy for details on how we handle your information.
