Cookies Policy

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that a website may place on your computer, mobile phone, tablet or other device. They allow the website to recognise your browser and remember certain information between visits. Cookies can help a website operate correctly, maintain security, remember choices and provide a more consistent experience.

Some cookies are placed directly by Fat Pirate Casino. Other cookies may be placed by service providers that support website functions, security, analytics, communications or advertising. These providers may use cookies or similar technologies in accordance with their own privacy information and the instructions provided to them.

Cookies may be either session cookies or persistent cookies. Session cookies are generally removed when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a period of time or until you delete them. The length of time a cookie remains may vary depending on its purpose, your browser settings and the configuration of the service using it.

The website may also use technologies that perform a similar function to cookies. These can include pixels, tags, software development kits, local storage and device or browser information. In this policy, the term cookies includes these similar technologies where appropriate.

2. How cookies may be used

The cookies used on the website may serve different purposes. Some are necessary for the website to function, while others help us understand how visitors use the website or allow us and our service providers to provide more relevant features. The specific cookies in use may change as the website, technology and services develop.

Strictly necessary cookies

Strictly necessary cookies support core website operations. They may be used to maintain a secure connection, support account access, protect forms, manage sessions, remember security settings and help prevent suspicious or unauthorised activity. Without these cookies, some parts of the website may not work properly.

Functionality and preference cookies

Functionality cookies help remember information you have selected, such as language, display preferences or other settings. They may also help provide features you have requested and reduce the need to repeat the same choices during a visit. If you disable these cookies, some preferences may not be saved and certain features may be less convenient to use.

Performance and analytics cookies

Performance and analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the website. They may collect information such as the pages viewed, links selected, approximate timing, browser type, device type and general website activity. This information is generally used in aggregated or statistical form to identify technical issues, improve navigation, evaluate content and make the website easier to use.

Security and fraud prevention technologies

Cookies and related technologies may be used to identify unusual activity, protect accounts, reduce automated misuse and support the integrity of the website. These technologies can help us investigate security events and protect players, the website and connected services. Some security technologies may be necessary and may operate whether or not optional cookies are accepted.

Advertising and measurement cookies

Where used and permitted, advertising or measurement cookies may help assess the effectiveness of communications, limit repeated advertisements and understand how visitors respond to promotional content. These cookies may be provided by third parties and may allow information about your browser or website activity to be associated with advertising or measurement services. We do not use this description to promise that any particular advertising cookie is active at all times.

3. Your cookie choices

When available, the website may provide a cookie banner, preference centre or similar tool that allows you to accept or reject certain categories of optional cookies. Your choices may be stored in a preference cookie so that the website can remember them. If you delete that preference cookie, use a different browser or change devices, you may be asked to make your choices again.

You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view stored cookies, block some or all cookies, delete cookies when you close the browser, or receive a warning before a cookie is saved. The process differs between browsers and devices, so you should check the help or privacy settings for the browser you use.

• Blocking all cookies may affect account access, security controls, navigation and other website functions.
• Deleting cookies does not necessarily delete information already held by Fat Pirate Casino or a service provider.
• Your settings may need to be updated separately on each browser or device.
• Some third-party cookies may need to be managed through the third party's own tools or privacy settings.
• If you reject optional cookies, you may still receive essential cookies required for the website to operate.

Cookie choices do not necessarily control all forms of data collection. For example, information you provide directly, account records, server logs and information collected for security or legal purposes may be handled under our Privacy Policy and applicable terms. Where applicable, you may also be able to use device-level controls for certain advertising or tracking technologies.

If you use the website while signed in to an account, information connected with your account may be handled differently from information collected from an anonymous browser. Cookie settings may reduce optional tracking, but they do not remove your responsibility to protect your login details or follow the account and website terms.

4. Third-party services and information

Fat Pirate Casino may use third-party providers to help operate, secure, measure or improve the website. Depending on the services in use, these providers may set or read cookies, receive technical information from your browser, or process information on our behalf. Examples may include hosting, security, website analytics, customer support, payment-related functions, communications and fraud prevention.

Third-party services may have their own cookies policies and privacy notices. Those notices may explain how the provider collects, uses, retains or shares information and how you can manage its technologies. We encourage you to review the information made available by any third-party service you use through the website.

Information collected through cookies may include an internet protocol address, browser type, operating system, device characteristics, referring website, pages visited, approximate location derived from technical information and interactions with website content. The information collected will depend on the technology and its purpose. We aim to use information for legitimate website, security, operational and improvement purposes, subject to applicable requirements.

Cookies should not be used to submit sensitive account information into an untrusted website or pop-up. Fat Pirate Casino will not ask you to disclose passwords or security codes through an unexpected cookie message. You should use the official website, keep your browser and device protected, and contact us through the available website channels if you are concerned about suspicious activity.

5. Changes and questions about this policy

We may update this Cookies Policy when our website, technology, services or legal obligations change. The updated version will be made available on the website and will show a revised date where appropriate. You should review this page from time to time so that you understand the current use of cookies and the choices available to you.

If a change requires a new choice or notice, we may display an updated cookie message or preference tool. Continuing to use the website after an update may be subject to the updated policy, except where applicable law requires a different approach.

If you have a question about this Cookies Policy, your cookie preferences or the way information is handled, please use the contact or support options made available on the website. When contacting us, avoid including passwords, full payment details or other sensitive information unless it is specifically requested through a secure and recognised process.

This policy provides general information about cookies and similar technologies. It does not override the Privacy Policy, account terms, website terms or any applicable responsible gambling requirements. Where there is an inconsistency, the applicable legal terms and notices will apply to the extent required.
